REPORT
Project 1 is a group project which consists of 7 students in a group. The aim to this project is to enable students to understand basic acoustic principles used within an auditorium. In this group project, students are required to conduct a cast study on an auditorium and product a report and presentation slides to document our findings, researches and calculations on the acoustic principles and properties of the auditorium. The content of the report consists mainly of drawings of plans and sections of the auditorium, historical background ,sound absorption materials used, sound source and sound path of the auditorium. These are the important components that will affect the acoustic properties of the auditorium. The auditorium that we have chosen for this project is the PJ Live Arts Center auditorium. We were required to visit the auditorium and identify the materials of the floors, walls, ceilings and any specific acoustic materials of the auditorium. Furthermore, we are also required to do a sound experiment to test the sound path of reflected sound, sound absorption and sound shadows.
PROJECT 2 : INTEGRATION
Project 2, Integration project is an individual project which combined with the final project of Architecture Design Studio V. The aim of this project is to enable students to understand the principles of day lighting, artificial lighting and Permanent supplementary artificial lighting of the interior (PSALI) systems. This project requires students to apply and integrate these three lighting systems for the community library design of Architecture Design Studio V. Students would also have to solve design problems regarding lighting design through these three lighting systems to create a comfortable and suitable environment for reading and other activities within the library. To add on, the project also test on the understanding of calculation methods for average daylight factor for day lighting and lumen method for artificial lighting. Furthermore, Students also produce a presentation board which consists of floor plans and sections which shows the integration of day lighting, artificial lighting and PSALI strategies of the community library design. Besides that, students also must produce a report that documents all lighting strategies design, calculations and drawings.
