As the last obligation for the exit blog in this theories subject which prepared and lectured by Ms.Sue, I'd like to summarize a little bit of my journey with all my subjects and life going through this semester. Well, I'm now in the end of semester 4, so it's quite many obligations need to be completed within this month including coming final exam. I'm taking 5 subjects in this semester which are IA design 4, IA Tech 4, Minor 2, Theories of Architecture and Contract and Law subjects. For my general opinion and time I've spent during this semester, I feel weak and not really confident to what I'm doing with every single things and even my personal things.
In IA design 4 class, I feel that I've lost my direction and confident to my design project and it makes me quite sick and stressed with it. But 1 thing I feel glad is that Mr.David and Mr.Redzwan are presented and guide us during this semester, I do enjoy my design class with them and got a lot of advices that how to do an excellent work to professional step even I do not do well in this semester but it's worth for me.
In IA Tech 4 class, I almost get it all done till the last assignment which given by Ms.Baizura.
I do enjoy all assignments but not for the lecture sections.
Minor 2 class, I think this is an interesting subject that lecturers are actually giving us something different that other Universities may not be having this system. So beside doing interior or architecture design things, we are actually learn about photography, advertising and self-introduction knowledge.
Theories of Architecture class, this subject is actually driving me crazy while I have to read all articles that I'm totally don't understand and explain it all in blog, but I think this is not about the weaknesses of this subject after lecturers gave us the explanation about all the articles given and from them I only understand what was all articles talk about. I think this subject influence me something to my design thinking and it might help me for further developments in the future.
The best moment during this semester is that I learn something new which I never knew before and gain my knowledges which I never get before even there's not much advantages and developments I got from the school but I'll still appreciate it all. Appreciate my worthiness through the best result I've got.
Talk about the philosophy of my future in Architecture field, I think I might still hold my philosophy since I was coming to this field and it's BEAUTY OF THE SIMPLICITY yet I can still create an outstanding design projects. But to say the truth is that normal peoples might appreciate more to the beauty of the spaces with some designated structures instead of the inversely which some experts or professionals can only appreciate it.

Taboo and Transgression, Architecture and Desire
Through Bernard Tschumi divided the pleasure of architecture into several fragments that are loosely related to each other which are:
- A double pleasure – pleasure of architecture can only be achieved by merging both pleasure of space and pleasure of geometry/order/concept.
- Gardens of pleasure – garden would be a part for pleasure, in a useless manner, as it is built exclusively for delight.
- Pleasure and necessity
- Bondage – a metaphor of order which the more the restriction, the more the pleasure to be achieved.
- Rationality – By treating classical elements as decaying fragment, rationality of building was carried to the extremes of irrationality.
- Eroticism – eroticism is not the excess of pleasure but the pleasure of excess.
- The mask - a metaphor of seduction that the main objective/meaning of architecture differs from the appearance that creates pleasure.
- Excess – Exceeding is a matter of preserving the erotic capacity of architecture
- Architecture of pleasure – Merging of concept and experience of space as well as transgression of rules bring pleasure of architecture.
- Advertisement for architecture – Architecture is about the function of both sensual experience of a real space and appreciation of rational concept. The unveiling part behind these would be the pleasure part of architecture.
- Desire/fragments – desire is some sort like movement between fragments. Movement is like the core/meaning/function of a design while fragment is like the appearance of a design. The architecture is pleased as it fulfills some utilitarian function.
In the past, architecture rarely transgresses its limit in the reality.
It’s still a desire to exceed the limit that has been set in the architecture world.
According to Foucault: “ Transgression is an action which involves the limit, that narrow zone of a line where it displays the flash of its passage, but perhaps also its entire trajectory, even its origin.”
Hence, a limit has its meaning only when it can be transgressed.
Pushing architecture towards its limit can make the architecture pleasing.
We experience a building through our senses, vision, hearing, smell, tactile and taste.
The most beautiful buildings also reflect our physical bodies and celebrate our senses.
A building is sensuous because it is pleasing to our senses.
In my opinion, I think the property of space decides to encourage human sexual desire.
When human is in a space where has excellent atmosphere and comfortable furniture such as nice sofa with designated coffee table that would definitely make us think that it is a space for relaxing.
In the other situation, to encourage human sexual desire, mostly a space for sexual activity should be a private space, comfortable, secured and less opening and etc.
In the contrary, a space with big opening, more opened to public, poor condition with bad smell and view will definitely prohibit human sexual desire.

Architects seek to express an aura of sensuality when designing.
Nevertheless, there will always be taboo and transgression while designing, such as the balance of form together with function as form will definitely be affected by the function.
For example, bedroom which is a space for resting requires a peaceful feeling. The taboo for designing bedroom is less opening space. However, the desire for having nice atmosphere requires bigger opening.
As a conclusion, I think the balance in considering the taboo and the wish for transgression should be maintained in order to have a good design.

Field trip : Asthetics, Ruins & Space (Kellie's Castle)
Went through the field trip and all the information I had, I finally realize that this mansion was built with the same reason as Taj Mahal, Agra, India : LOVE
Kellies Castle is a mansion with the symbol of love, like the Taj Mahal. And in the architecture, there is definitely some moghul influence visible.
Kellie's Castle was built by a Scottish planter called William Kellie Smith. So he built the castle for his wife because he loved his wife so much.
Smith went for a short trip to Portugal in 1926. He died there of pneumonia. His wife was still in Malaya, heartbroken. She decided to pack and return to Scotland. She sold Kellie's Castle to a British company called Harrisons and Crossfield.
Kellie's Castle was never to be finished. It became a ruine with many legends. Legend of the ghost of Smith wandering through the ruins. Other legends were off secret underground tunnels. But apart of the two known tunnels, none were ever found.
The restoration of Kellie's castle
At arrival at Kellie's Castle you can "meet" William Kellie Smith and his two children. Their sculptures are standing on the exterior wall. The one of his beloved wife fell off some years back.
I think through this first photograph, I feel that this mansion is a great mansion which is architecturally moghul style influeced. Using of bricks finishes to represented the strength of the mansion itself.
As if we look carefully, this carved sculpture is held in both places which Mr.Smith had ever planned as a living room and guest room. This structure is precisely at below of beams.
I think this sculpture would be nicer if the mansion is completely constructed but unfortunately it wasn't.
This is a mysterious corridor which Mr.Smith's soul will be appeared along this corridor.
Through this picture, it is actually to show the interesting contrast of this mansion, this area is appropriately held in the middle of the building.
This is the place where Mr.Smith store his wine called wine tunnel. I think this tunnel is interesting as this tunnel took places at underground of this building and appropriately held below the drink area.
As if we look properly, this tree has a figure of a bear. It is an amazing tree that creates the message of nature living to the human being and this tree is more popular day through days.

The tunnels have been sealed off for safety reasons. The rumour is that Smith's car is parked in one of the tunnels. True or not, I can't tell.

An architecture of seven senses
According to this article, I have my own experience about seven senses of the building which is more to see, touch and feel the atmosphere of every spaces I've been through. I do apply those elements that not only make me see beautiful, pleasant touch and excellent feel but everyone.
I always create a thing by consider for general thinking, uses, functions and flexibilities.
I have my own habit since I came into this field and it feels like a little bit strange and it's :
- Like to touch every textures or materials that I can see and feel interesting or never seen it before in my life, then I'll start to imagine that it would be awesome if I apply those textures at every suitable spaces.
- Like to examine with every interesting structures, circulations, scent of the spaces, the atmospheres very carefully, no matter I'm at restaurants, retail shops, night clubs outdoor buildings, then I might reuse it into my design idea development.
- Like to realize and understand with every structures that could influence me to my design thinking and slowly analyze it.
According to this article, there are some other authors did wrote some similarity with this article such as :
-Laura Hollengreen who talks about the "Jewish bodies, Christian senses, and Urban spaces" and she did mentioned some elements from this article.
-Nina Ergin who talks about the "Olfactory Aspects of Ottoman Mosque Architecture"
-Tijana Vujosevic, The haptic Sensorium of the Moscow Metro
-Sandy Isenstadt, Groping in the dark
-Jack Quinan, The Soundscapes of Frank Lloyd Wright's Larkin building

Monuments, Testimony and Memory
About the Jewish Museum, I think this building is an interesting building which played with two lines of thinking, "organization and relationship". One is a straight line but broken into many fragments, the other is tortuous line but continuing indefinitely. So by this two elements which has a strong meaning behind brings this Jewish Museum building to integrate physically and spiritually into the consciousness and memory of the city of Berlin.
So, I would say yes that the Jewish museum is a successful museum in commemorating the dead. It goes through two thousand years of Jewish history in Germany and the contributions of this community to the culture, art and other fields. The architect, Daniel Libeskind, has created a building/museum/artpiece that opens to every visitor to experience, perceptually, mind and body.
Else, the National Museums in Malaysia generally have the same effect with this Jewish Museum either, but there's a big differentiation of the way our National Museum spread the physical and spiritual of the building itself for sure. Daniel Libeskind, the architect of Jewish Museum created this building very closely with the body and soul of the human to the building.
But the most of Museums here were designed more closely to the cultural elements.

Remembering the home
Remembering back to the childhood memories are fun that child don't need to care anything yet cared by parents. Since I was a child, I had moved the place where I lived twice. Once I realized, both homes had a same characteristics which was mostly made by concrete wall with plywood finishes. I remembered that I did like to draw onto a walls surrounding me as since I was a child.
The most memories that I've been lived with my family through childhood was my second house.
My second house isn't so big but as I can describe that it's the most comfortable and protected home i've ever lived in. There's a mini garden, the main door at the middle of the building and quite a number of windows surrounding. There's 2 level high and my room was separated with my parents which their room was on the ground floor and mine at first floor.
Sometimes, I was influenced by my Dad to recycle and reuse a things because he cares so much about the global warming. He moved all the furniture from my first home that can be still use to the second home as where I live in nowadays. Even it looks quite pretty old but sturdy still.
This is my first inspiration to my home design and architectural method.
Secondly, my home is almost covered by plywood surrounding walls and ceiling. It's a textured plywood so I think by applying plywood or even wood texture laminated, it might creates warmness of the house.
These two methods are inspiring me a lot to my design inspiration that I will apply to every of my design projects.

Heidegger's thinking on Architecture
The relationship of man & God
As I know, God creates human and human creates themselves to this world.
For example the temple. The temple building encloses the figure of the God, and in this concealment lets it stand out into the holy precinct through the open portico. By means of the temple, God is present in the temple. This presence of the God is in itself the extension and delimitation of the precinct as a holy precinct. The temple and its precinct, however, do not fade away into the indefinite. It is the templework that first fits together and at the same time gathers around itself the unity of those paths and relations in which birth and death, disaster and blessing, victory and disgrace, endurance and decline acquire the shape of destiny for human beings.
The relationship of man & nature
Man is also a nature. All the existences were the creation of Almighty God. All the creations were given some knowledge and man only given the super sense of common the sixth sense to know everything. While nature contrasts with human society and the outer world contrasts to the individual, the outer world includes both nature and human society. Thus, the relation between man and nature is actually that between human society and nature, not between an individual and one's outer world. Obviously, an individual can form a relationship with nature but, because one is not able to exist without society, in forming a relationship with nature an individual must act as one of the particles of human society.
Personal trip to a temple
As the assignment that given by the lecturer, I did a personal trip to 1 of chinese temple in KL named Thean Hou Temple. It was completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989. The property belongs to and is run by the Selangor and Federal Territory Hainan Association. This temple, built by the Hainanese community living in Kuala Lumpur is dedicated to Goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother).

This temple, built by the Hainanese community living in Kuala Lumpur is dedicated to Goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother).
Thean Hou temple was constructed between 1981 and 1987 at a cost of approximately 7 million ringgit
The installation dates of the Goddesses are as follows:
- 16 November 1985 - Tian Hou
- 19 October 1986 - Guan Yin
- 16 November 1986 - Shui Wei Sheng Niang
The temple was officially opened on 3 September 1989.
Architectural FeaturesThis syncretic temple with elements of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism is a grandiose structure and represents a successful combination of modern architectural techniques and authentic traditional design featuring imposing pillars, spectacular roofs, ornate carvings and intricate embellishments. Its grand architecture has made it a popular tourist destination.
The front entrance of the temple features a multi-arched gateway with red pillars, the colour symbolic of prosperity and good fortune. Souvenir stalls and a canteen are found on the 1st level. The 2nd level houses the multi-purpose hall while offices are located on the 3rd level. The 4th level has 3 tiers and the prayer hall is located here.
Prayer HallThe prayer hall houses 3 altars, each with a sculpture of one deity or goddess. As one enters the prayer hall, the altar on the right is dedicated to Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy. Tian Hou is in the centre while Shui Wei Sheng Niang (the Goddess of the Waterfront) is at the left. In the middle of the hall and between the altars are two pairs of Kau Cim oracles that can be used by visitors.
Despite the dedication to Tian Hou, worship of Guan Yin (or "Guan Shi-Yin") is a recurrent theme at the Thean Hou Temple.
Followings are some images and sketch that I've done after visited :

The Concept of Place
From my opinion through the topic The concept of Place which has a meaning of "Place of action and Point of departure".
I think this theories have so many detail informations and drawings by the legendary expert architects such as "The walking City of Ron herron which define place in terms of relatively anonymous mega-structures", Peter Cook the spokesman of the English Archigram group, Milton Webber the American urbanist expert, Kevin Lynch, The Architectural theorist Christopher Alexander, etc.
In this theory, what we can learn is actually a very detail of architectural documentations which provided by our father of architecture.
From the location of buildings, landscapes and environments, site planning, space planning, human circulation, the proper concept application in the building and developments, methods, elementations and the technic of constructions. They did so much experimental things about architecture and there's a meaning behind on every each building and existential spaces they have done.

Minority Report - Film Review
The Basic Plot line
Minority Report is a 2002 science fiction neo-noir directed by Steven Spielberg and loosely based on the short story "The Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick .In 2054, an experimental Washington, D.C. police force called Precrime has completely cut murder in the city. Precrime employs three "precogs", mutated humans with precognition to view murders that occur in the future; the officers of Precrime then analyze and interpret the three visions to track down and stop the murder before it happens. John Anderton is chief of the force, working under its director Lamar Burgess, however, he hides the fact that he is addicted to drug called neuroin since the disappearance of his son Sean, which also caused his wife Lara to leave him.
Using Agatha's future insight to avoid capture, Anderton takes Agatha to a hacker to try to extract her vision of Leo Crow's murder, but finds it is the same as the original report. However, Agatha then provides Anderton with her vision of the death of a woman named Anne Lively, which Anderton records. Chased by Precrime, Anderton and Agatha end up at the apartment where Crow is to die; they find his room, covered with hundreds of pictures of children including Sean. When Crow enters, Anderton holds him at gunpoint, but Crow denies any involvement with Sean, and that he is only here to be killed by Anderton to have his family paid off handsomely. Anderton refuses to kill Crow and demands to know who had set this up, but Crow forces himself on Anderton's gun and makes him pull the trigger, killing him as predicted. Anderton and Agatha flee to Lara's home, while Witwer and Precrime investigate the crime scene.
Burgess then kills Witwer, noting that without Agatha, the precog hive mind wouldn't be able to predict this murder. After being taken in by Lara, Anderton comes to realize that Anne Lively is Agatha's mother, and the knowledge of her death is the reason for the manhunt against him, and shares this with Lara. Precrime eventually arrives at Lara's home and Anderton is taken into custody, while Agatha is put back into the system. Burgess, preparing for a celebratory dinner for the Precrime program, consoles Lara, but accidentally reveals more about Lively's murder then he should know. Lara calls in help from Anderton's former friends to free Anderton from prison. During the dinner, Anderton calls Burgess while Agatha's vision of Lively's death is played for the guests. The footage clearly shows Burgess as the murderer, having set up a false target just as Witwer had predicted. Burgess had killed Lively to stop her from attempting to take her daughter Agatha back. Burgess had then set up Anderton in order to cover up Anderton's knowledge.
As Burgess finds and draws a gun on Anderton, Precrime receives reports that Burgess will kill Anderton. Thus demonstrating Precrime works but becoming a murderer himself, or he can spare him, showing Precrime as a failure. If one knows his or her own future, he or she can change it. Burgess decides to commit suicide and kills himself as Precrime arrive at the scene. As a result, the Precrime division is shut down, with all those incarcerated by them released. Far out on a remote island, where they can no longer be troubled by future visions.
The Impressive or Unimpressive about the movie
After watched this movie, I think this director has a such a creative and imaginative thinking to encourage people to understand and figure it out what is actually this movie means. More to tactics and mysterious movie. One of the main questions the film raises is whether the future is set or whether free will can alter the future.
Another things that impress me in this movie is their technology :
- Driverless car which could be commanded by the police to deliver their occupant to the police station.
- Iris Recognition systems which tracked the movements of all citizens, and were also used for authentication and payment, and to deliver highly targeted advertising to passers-by.
- Mobile surveillance robots which swarm through a building and use iris recognition to find a sought person.
- A high speed gestural user interface for computers, where hands are moved in front of a screen
Intention of this film
The intention that the director want to carries out is the paranoid side of the futuristic world.
The director was trying to mention that everyone's future is in everyone's own hands. Choices that we make are important because it will determine our future. Thinking deeply before actions.
Impact of this movie to design thinking
I think this movie have a great impact to design thinking especially the technologies that they created in this movie because I'm sure that the future technology will be developed stronger and better.

My Story
It's a damn long story to tell if I wanna describe it all from my childhood memories which was bad things are more than a good things to describe.
Let's pick some good points of mine since I was in a childhood moments. ^^
yea, I had a dream which was never be happened in my future and it's a "PILOT".
This idea was then disappeared after I knew that I'm very poor at geography but
indeed every pilot must be very good in this field. This is my dream when I was in
primary school.
But then when I was in secondary high school, I started to fall in love with drawing since I had admitted that I have got a talent in this field. It's hard to believe that I love drawing until almost all of my note books were fully drawn without writing any notes that given by teachers at that time.
I do development with my drawing skill every time while I'm drawing. Try to think the
things that no one could be able to draw and create. Kinda selfish huh? ^^
But at the last moment before my secondary high school farewell, it's so sudden that my mind has came out the idea to study further overseas in this design field and finally I've chose to study Interior Design in Malaysia.
The motive I choose this field is because of some encouragements which make me to be stronger and more confident to walk through all these.
At the very first moment while I had a discussion with my dad about study further in Interior Design field, he strongly agreed with my idea and fully supporting me to following my decision.
Beside that, I think even if I know my life will be a little more stress and busier than before.
To the good of my future life, I need to be stronger and I'm sure this is the way I am and what I will be.
During studying my career and opportunities in this field, I admit that getting beyond the best and worst experiences in studying architecture are a part of beneficence and strong encouragement to improving myself in the field and career that I stand on.
The best experience of mine during studying architecture is to realize that own the knowledge and experiences are not only the money that so easy we could spent onto it but instead of our efforts to laying hands on.
The worst experiences that I've known in studying architecture might be a lack of the lecturing systems and professionalism that one school has got. Beside the effort of every students have, the profession of lecturers themselves are also a very important encouragement to students. Because every students will appraise to every lecturer's characteristics. (denoted) ^^
Else, I'm sure that everyone has the best and worst habits throughout studies, and neither have I.
Best habits that I've got :

Let's pick some good points of mine since I was in a childhood moments. ^^
yea, I had a dream which was never be happened in my future and it's a "PILOT".
This idea was then disappeared after I knew that I'm very poor at geography but
indeed every pilot must be very good in this field. This is my dream when I was in
primary school.
But then when I was in secondary high school, I started to fall in love with drawing since I had admitted that I have got a talent in this field. It's hard to believe that I love drawing until almost all of my note books were fully drawn without writing any notes that given by teachers at that time.
I do development with my drawing skill every time while I'm drawing. Try to think the
things that no one could be able to draw and create. Kinda selfish huh? ^^
But at the last moment before my secondary high school farewell, it's so sudden that my mind has came out the idea to study further overseas in this design field and finally I've chose to study Interior Design in Malaysia.
The motive I choose this field is because of some encouragements which make me to be stronger and more confident to walk through all these.
At the very first moment while I had a discussion with my dad about study further in Interior Design field, he strongly agreed with my idea and fully supporting me to following my decision.
Beside that, I think even if I know my life will be a little more stress and busier than before.
To the good of my future life, I need to be stronger and I'm sure this is the way I am and what I will be.
During studying my career and opportunities in this field, I admit that getting beyond the best and worst experiences in studying architecture are a part of beneficence and strong encouragement to improving myself in the field and career that I stand on.
The best experience of mine during studying architecture is to realize that own the knowledge and experiences are not only the money that so easy we could spent onto it but instead of our efforts to laying hands on.
The worst experiences that I've known in studying architecture might be a lack of the lecturing systems and professionalism that one school has got. Beside the effort of every students have, the profession of lecturers themselves are also a very important encouragement to students. Because every students will appraise to every lecturer's characteristics. (denoted) ^^
Else, I'm sure that everyone has the best and worst habits throughout studies, and neither have I.
Best habits that I've got :
- I will just have a gasp after I keep all my responsibilities done.

- Willing to accept any criticism and inputs.
