PROJECT 1 (B) : MINIATURE SHELTER IN NATURE

Indroduction

‘Shelter” in this assignment is defined as a place/space that provides cover or protection, as from the natural phenomena. Info Graphic is visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly. From the previous lecture and discussion on earth system/components and natural environment, as a group, we are to extend your knowledge through research and to choose one or a combination of two of the earth components below as your main natural setting of site which is atmosphere , hydrosphere, geosphere and biosphere. From the chosen natural setting above, you are to find a main suitable site which approximately 2500mm x 2500mm size and within the chosen main site, we need to select a shelter site which approximately 500-1000mm x 500-1000mm. The miniature shelter shall be in the shelter site. We are required to do a site study including site survey, site inventory and site analysis upon the selected site. At the same time, each group will be assigned to an animal lego character and concurrently while conducting the site selection and study, each group need to study and consider the needs/essentials of the character in terms of its nature and adaptation. Explanation and justification are required upon interrelation of character and selection site. 

Process

In this project, we got the opportunity to study and survey a site at Janda Baik on 20th April till 22nd April 2018. The objective of this trip is for students to select a site and create a miniature shelter for the animal lego character. Our group have been assigned Leornado as our animal lego character. As you can see from the pictures above, my teammates and I worked and enjoyed together in this group assignment. 

We have been facing a lot of difficulties while doing this assignment. This group assignment was really tough and challenging for us. Our group had redrawn the works for many times.

Reflection

Throughout this assignment, i had extend my knowledge about the natural elements at its basic unit, form and function. I also understand the interrelation between natural elements and man-made elements. Besides, I have learnt to analyse the function of the natural elements and built environment by looking at the natural elements, topography and landscape and to initiate ideas that relate to natural elements through observation, data collection, evaluation and deliver them by using different techniques. This assignment gave me the opportunity to differentiate the characteristic and the quality of natural elements by looking at the natural components, elements, topography and landscape.
