Introduction

• Built environment programs at IIUM
• U/g and P/g studies in
• Architecture
• Urban Regional Planning
• Landscape Architecture
• Quantity Surveying
• Applied Arts and Design

4
Introduction

• The problem
• Difficulties faced by freshmen in understanding
  the processes
• Design complex
• Construction and technical
• Roles and functions of key players (management)

5
Proposed solution

• Design a new course
• Objectives
• 1.To make students understand the processes of
  design and construction (the technical aspect)
• 2.To make students understand the roles and
  functions of key players (management)

6
Proposed solution

• Concept of DIY
• Integrate theory practice
• explain doing
• Multi-disciplinary
• Role play representing architects, engineers,
  surveyors, constructors
• Near-real work environment

7
Proposed solution

• The course design
• Integrated multi-disciplinary project (AQS 1301)
• Life project
• Brief project planning
• Site inventory analysis estimating
• Design construction drawings BQ
• Construction
• Motivation, leadership

8
Proposed solution

• The course delivery
• Within a semester (3rd Semester 8 full weeks)
• Three parts
• Part 1 Lecture and tutorials (week 1-4)
• Part 2 Studio critic (week 1-4)
• Construction (week 5-8)
• Part 3 Motivation camp (week 4)
• Assessment

Observation 2001 - 2004

• Course started 2001
• Projects
• Recreational park (01), Bus stop (02)
• Gateway (03), Gazebo (04)
• Observations on the students
• 1.Enjoyed the near-real environment (they
  design, they construct, under supervision,
  assisted by skilled workmen)
• 2.Understand better the processes of design and
  construction

10
Observation 2001 - 2004

• Observations on the students
• 3.Understand better the roles and functions of
  key players (architects, engineers, surveyors,
  constructors)
• 4.Creative in solving problems
• 5.Disputes happened (in all aspects of the
  processes)

Case study The Gazebo

• The course delivery the gazebo (04)
• 150 freshmen 4 staff
• Design construction
• Area of site 40m2 (gazebo 9m2)
• Cost limit RM20,000.00 (GBP2,900.00)
• Duration 1st March 04 20th May 04
• Assisted by 2 skilled workmen
• Completed within budget but delayed by 3 months

Impact to student

• Simple survey
• Students that have been involved
• 25 out / 23 returned (92)
• Results
• Understand design construction 83
• Understand roles and functions of key players 70
• Understand leadership communication 61
• Results correlates with observations

15
Conclusion

• AQS 1301 achieved its objectives
• The concept of DIY is instrumental in making AQS
  1301successful
• AQS 1301 should be continued
• _____________________________
• Constraints in delivery
• Budget
• suitable sites
• Large no of students
