The analysis of the project site is to be carried out as a group. Every member of the group is responsible to search for the latest, and accurate information from a reliable source.

Section 1 (Site Analysis)

• To require all necessary plans for the development of the proposed project

• To produce to scale the overall plan of the site (site boundaries – bearings, lengths, elevations) and its cross-section.

Section 3 (Precedent Study)

• To conduct a precedent study covering all existing (either built or proposed) green/sustainable double-story kindergarten (in Malaysia, ASEAN, Asia, and the World) with the short to medium span structure construction.

Final Board Presentation: KARAFURU KINDERGARTEN

DESIGN STATEMENT :

KARAFURU KINDERGARTEN IS A TROPICAL KINDERGARTEN THAT DESIGN IN POLITEKNIK PORT DICKSON. THIS KINDERGARTEN IS DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY, LEARN AND EXPLORE IN THE SAME TIME.

IDEA AND CONCEPT :

THE IDEA IS FROM ORCHID FLOWER BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE LIKE TINY FLOWERS THEY ARE VARIED AND NEED CARE AND ALSO ORCHID IS A FLOWER WITH A STRONG SYMBOL FOR CHILDREN. GREEN ELEMENT IS THE MAIN ELEMENT FOR THIS KINDERGARTEN AND MANY OPEING SPACE WITH STRATEGIC PLACE FOR A GOOD NATURED COOLING SYSTEM.

MULTI COLOR FACADE AND LOUVERS FOR KIDS TO PLAY AND LEARN IN THE SAME TIME IS THE ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTIC OF ORCHIDS AND ALSO IN THIS BUILDING CAN HELP CHILDREN O EXPLORE MORE ABOUT LIFE BUT IN SAFELY WAY.

THE CONCEPT THAT I GET FROM THE IDEA IS INTERMEDIATE WHICH MEAN IN THE BUILDING HAS BEEN SEPRATE BY 2 ZPNE ( CHOLDREN ZONE AND ADMINE ZONE ). THIS CONCEPT CAN BE SEEN IN PLAN WHICH THE INTERMEDIATE ZONE IS ALSO CAN BE A FUNCIONAL ZONE AND GOOD FOR CROSS VENTILATION.
