Project 6c: Physical Scale Model



  •  Based on the presentation dawings of their respective Amphiteatre Stage design, each group needs to build or construct the scale size model of their stage (1:5 scale).


  • Students are given two weeks to plan and complete the model construction process.

  • To ensure that the stage model is successfully constructed within the stipulated time, students are encouraged to discuss and form several sub-groups which are responsible for different parts of construction.

  • Each group also needs to provide the actual costing for their stage model construction (Model Actual Cost) and submit it along with the physical model
  • This is our amphitheatre stage model

Project 6b: Project Report




Each group is required to prepare two types of project report for their proposed ‘Amphitheatre Stage’, which are:

  1.  i)   Progress Report 
  2.   ii)   Design Proposal Report (final report)

       i)   Progress Report

§      As the project runs for 6 weeks, each group is required to produce a progress report for the project on weekly basis. The report should consist the following component:
1)       discussion on the progress of that week;
2)       discussion of the problem that have arisen;
3)       discussion of work lies ahead, photos of current progress;
4)       Schedule of work and cost involved.

§  The progress report should be in printed A4 size format (font Arial 11; 1.5 spacing, 5-8 pages).

§  Submission of progress report should be made on weekly basis to the Studio master and some of the groups will be selected to present their progress at the lecture hall during every Monday Studio Session.

                ii)  Design Proposal Report (final report)

§  The proposal should consist of the following elements/components:
i)                     Purpose, goal and objective
ii)                   Background study and site analysis
iii)                  Proposed design development
iv)                  Construction method, material selection & basic
v)                   Building services
vi)                  Elemental Cost Analysis (ECA)
vii)                Model Cost Estimate
viii)               Project Scheduling

  •   For the ‘Proposed Design Development’ part, students are encouraged to just reduce the A1 size presentation drawing board to A3 size presentation drawing paper and attached it as Appendix A in the report.

  •  For the construction method, students need to mention the type (traditional/conventional, modular, IBS, mixed etc.), propose the superstructure and substructure used and explain the rationales why the method of construction is selected.

  • For the ‘material selection’, students need to mention the material selected for roof, floor area, stage background (if any) and all applied structures (column, roof structure, shading device, base etc.) together with the detailing of structural joints (3 details).
  •    For building services, students should focus on lighting system, sound and Public Address (PA) system.

  •  As simple estimation budget for the stage construction, each group need to provide an Elemental Cost Analysis (ECA) that consider the structure, finishes and basic services of their project.

  •  In addition to ECA, each group also needs to provide estimation cost for their physical scale model construction (Model Cost Estimate) of their STAGE.

  • In the report, each group needs to provide its own project scheduling and management plan.

  • Besides, each group also needs to state the role of each group members, organization chart of the group and simple gantt chart (reporting on the project).
  • The submission for this Project 6b(ii) (Design Proposal Report) is one complete typed report (printed in A4 format; font Arial 11; 1.5 spacing, 1520 pages).

Project 6a: Amphitheatre Stage Design

In a group of 16 members , all 12 groups of RUS104 need to design a project studio Comprehensive that's includes the aspects of site analysis , architectural and interior design , structure and material selection, simple costing , project management , and construction technique of the scale size building ( model ) . 
  •  For this purpose , each group needs to design a single storey structure and amphitheater stage ( for ' live performance ' function) by following the required design processes like conducting site analysis , conceptual ideas and Producing Sparking Schematic design BEFORE Continuing with the design development 
  •  The design must consider the Topography condition of the given site ( next to the end of the HBP E08 Studio Block facing the Penang Bridge) and tropical climate of Malaysia Which is characterized by heavy rain , intense sunshine , etc Windless condition 
  •  The permanent design stage must also be Able to withstand loads (including wind load) 
  • The maximum size of the stage is 4.0m ( width ) , 6.0m ( length ) and 5.0m                                          
  •  The main stage is the material of the timber  
  •  The design stage should consist of:- Roof / covered structure- Area for backdrops or LCD screen- Raised floor area for performance of not more than 24m2 
  •   The amphitheater Seating Area should accommodate 100 seats of people of Melayu, deck level                                                                                                                                                            
  •  The presentation drawings of the proposed amphitheater stage should design consists of:- Key Plan ( NTS ) and Location Plan ( NTS )- Inventory Site (NTS )- Conceptual Design Bina and relevant bubble diagrams- Site Plan (with roof plan of the stage and Landscapes ) ( 1:100 scale)- Floor Plan ( 1:50 scale) ( along with the Dimensions & Specifications )- Elevations - Front, Rear, Right & Left Sides ( 1:50 scale)- Horizontal and Longitudinal Sections ( 1:50 scale)- 3 Details of structural joints ( 1:20 scale)- At least three perspectives drawings
  •   A design statement (not less than 50 words) should also be hand - written to explain the concept and uniqueness of the design approach , materials used , construction techniques etc. .
  •   The presentation drawings should be in color .
  •  All the above mentioned drawings and descriptions should be composed in two ( 2 ) A1 size cartridge papers on board 
  •
