Day 1 - Measurements and Information gathered

 i'll make this post quick and crispy.

Assignment Overview:

from what i understand, our task is to design and renovate the existing MPM room which is located exactly above the ITB koperasi/shop. Our work is to be presented on Google Sketchup, which for the first phase of this assignment will require every member to produce their own individual designs and present/discuss them by 12th May 2010 (present only to all members and Miss JV).

Mind you that this is sort of similar to our previous assignment except it needs more detail in terms of costs, materials, contractors, market availability and etc. Everything must be in detail!  But do not let that limit your creativity!.

Accuracy is vital, therefore if you need to note down prices, dimensions, nature of some materials at the market, please do, jangan malu-malu. Whatever information you have collected from the market will be needed in the future in case we have to trace back on some materials of interest.

From my experience, in terms of designing, its ok to have slight deviations but keep it to a minimum because in the end, the contractors/labourers are the ones doing the work, they'll figure out how to utulize the materials in hand to meet the intended design.

reminder for all, NO EXTREME IDEAS like jacuzzi and putting windows on the toilet side LOL but you can keep them~ ;p

don't forget, Its Miss JV's idea to have a storage partition, you might not need it. (but its a good idea!)

best of luck everyone! (If you need any help, just contact me)

Facts based on the People who uses the room

from one of the YDP -
  • the main function is to conduct meetings with MTs, Exco, Students(ECA), etc
  • he did not mind to have a laid back settings (as in, the use of tables is not really necessary. use sofa instead of a formal meeting room style)
from Asymawie -
  • break one side of the wall to create a sort of 'counter' similar to the Admin. (so that they can sell those ITB stuff from the inside)

Ilham and Eziyan should know best :p so ask from them too!
