ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The internship period of 2 months with Archimetry Sdn. Bhd. was a great

opportunity and definitely a big step forward towards this professional

journey. It was both an exciting and dreadful experience as to the reality that I

am about to face going down this road. This suits me up and gave me an

insight on the responsibilities of being an architect.

Therefore, I felt very grateful for the generous guidance provided by all the

seniors in the office, and most definitely, kudos to my supervising architect, Ar.

Alex Lye together with Ar. Wan Noorlaila. Meeting these amazing people and

the experience shared from them within these two short months are priceless.

My deepest gratitude to my colleagues as follows: Intan Harin (Architect), Izhar

Mohd Salleh (Senior Draughter), especially to Zainam Ahmad (Senior

Draughter) as he is my neighbour/colleague who gave me tons of advice when

it comes to drafting, which broaden my experience in that area, and to Chong

Jun Hao (Technical Assistant) and finally Che’ Nurul Adawiyah, our office

manager.

Last but not least, the principals of this office, Ar. Wan Noorlaila Wan Salleh

and my supervising architect, Ar. Alex Lye Wei Khang, who gave me

uncountable advices and guidance (theoretically and practically) on what it

takes to be an architect, which helped me a bunch in my future endeavours.

I was awoken on what this opportunity has to offer, and this proves to be a big

stepping stone in my future career development. The knowledge and skills I

obtained in this short period of time will be a big part of my journey to an

architect. Finally, I hope to see you all again in near future.

Best regards,

existence and application of the Uniform Building by Laws and similar

Building Regulations existing nationally and internationally.

ii. Generate an awareness among students with regards the different

activities that occur within the typical architect’s office.

PROJECTS/SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE

3.1 BANDAR BARU ENSTEK SCHOOL / SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE

71760 bandar baru enstek, negeri sembilan

Fig. 3.1.1. Finalised proposed master plan of Bandar Baru Enstek School.

First master plan I did using both CAD and Adobe Photoshop.

During the 1st week of practice in Archimetry, I was fortunate enough to be a part in the

schematic design phase, whereby, Ar. Alex was proposing the master plan of the Bandar

Baru Enstek School to the client. I was tasked to calculate the approximate area of the land

and propose the layout of the school compound. At first, I had to propose the classroom

arrangement and size to set up the building blocks’ proportion to layout the master plan.

Below are some of the proposed classroom arrangements. Ar. Alex wanted a non-barrack/

typical classroom arrangement as to its inefficiency in classroom engagement. So, I looked

into some feasible ones and proposed a few to him with the allocation of 30-40 students per

classroom.

195, jalan ampang, taman uthant, 55000 kuala lumpur

Fig. 3.2.1. Proposed townhouse layout on Lot 249, 195 Jalan Ampang.

On 2nd week onwards, I was given a part in the 195, Jalan Ampang project. This project

started off as a luxury apartment building over the existing old colonial residential house on

that piece of land. But through some reviews with the client, they decided that apartment is

no longer an option as to how limited the land was. Instead, we were asked to propose

some townhouse layout for the client. By doing a whole lot of referencing and online

research on viable townhouses, I finally came out with the above layouts. Maximising the

usage of space on that one acre of land. Refer to Fig. 3.2.1.

Fig. 4.1.1. Amending the wrong information displayed on the BP (building plan).

Together with my senior, Intan Harin (Architect), we went all the way to Nilai to submit the

BPs to apply for permit to the OSC (one-stop centre) in Majlis Perbandaran Nilai. Before we

leave for the submission, we have to fold tons of A1 sized papers into a specific submission

size and compile them properly. Carrying kg’s worth of papers around for an application of

permit. From there, I realised the respective local authorities that we have to comply with

when it comes to submission and we can actually make changes on the paper itself. That

surprised me the most.

This project was handed to me to amend the floor plans and subsequently project the roof

plan, elevations, sections and the natural lighting & ventilation table. Later on, followed up

with the tender drawing of the refuse chamber and gate details. This project made me

realised that there were plenty of things left to learn in AutoCAD. For example, the office

uses pen settings for printing out precise line weights and line types, which I have no idea of

until I received some advice from my fellow colleague Zainam Ahmad (senior draughter).

The office also uses certain colours for indication of different materials used for the building.

The layers are much more in detail compared to how I have been doing, which gave me an

insight on how are things done in an office. Kudos to these draughters who manage to

handle a few projects at the same time. The practice in AutoCAD definitely jack up my pace

on drafting which will help me a ton in the long run.

Jalan senjolong, taman bukit ria, kuala lumpur

Fig. 4.3.1. Site plan.

For this project, I was tasked to amend the floor labelling, elevations, sections, facade and

car park podium level, as to fit the requirement provided by the local authority. The car park

podium cannot be more than 20% of the overall height of the building. The challenge was

that our site is located at a pretty sloped area, therefore, the podium went up a few more

floors compared to the ones on the flat ground, which increased the overall height of the

building to 36 floors. Through this project, I got to know more on the building requirements

and apartment building layouts. Besides that, car park requirements was also important in a

building that can fit up to near 400 units.

Fig. 5.1.4. Tiles arrange to get the dimensions precise.

From the site visit to the constructing showroom in Jalan Maarof, I learnt that it is near

impossible that the contractors can deliver the precise dimensions of the building with great

workmanship taking into account. As architects, we have to discuss with the contractors and

allow a certain number of tolerances to ease up the work. Then, acquire the following

materials from manufacturer provided with the tolerated dimensions. For example, Ar. Alex

gave additional budget to construct sub-frames for windows to close up the gap between

the wall and the frame but the contractor did not execute it properly. Using more silicon to

seal up the gap between the frame and the wall which solved the current problem but it

does not work in the long run. Especially in Malaysia’s weather, the silicon will harden and

crack pretty soon. Therefore, Ar. Alex felt unsatisfied by the performance of the contractor.

7.1 CONCLUSION

In this short period of time, the practical training proves to have taught me a lot of what I

am about to face. Put theoretical thinking aside, there were a lot of procedures, rules and

regulations an architect firm has to comply to. How big of a responsibility for an architect to

carry to provide a safe environment for the mass. This is a chance to work in the real world,

to get out of our little conceptual bubble.

To sum this up, this practical training gave me exposure on the how an office operates and

how much more complicated the outside world is. These are the things that I have to pick

up along the way. Overall, this was an exciting journey, aside from the overly tedious

drafting work. Last but not least, I would like to thank my mentor, Ar. Alex Lye Wei Khang

and all my colleagues who aided me in this short 10 weeks of practical training.
