elderly centre
At the static Old Klang Road, there is an obvious deathly silence lying in the neighbourhood. To bring the “re-live and remember” to Old Klang Road with a special affection for the past, but a way to remember that is future and how to save memory by solving current needs, thus achieving together two worlds in one place, past and future of Old Klang Road.
A habitat is a person's usual or preferred surroundings, a place where the person feels “COMFORT”. To build a “HOME” where there is a laughter, where strangers become family. Re-habitat, is to bring back the comfort that everyone strives to have and revive the static surroundings. To create the opportunity to gather the calm and tranquil neighborhood. To bring back laughter to the community.

/project 1 : a personal space/
Project 1 deals with user experience that requires students to design a personal space which intended for a specific user based on an in-depth study of the user's.
We are required to design an outdoor personal space that is flexible,lightweight as well as safe with all mechanisms being simple and easy to operate for an elderly.It is of multipurpose which is able to support a user's activities which include either seating, leaning or resting.
Our site is at the little sisters for the poor elderly center. We had the chance to choose our own client and interviewed her. Our client is a healthy old lady who was a retired preacher.
We have designed a personal space which allows her to undergo different activities such as reading, praying, meditation and some simple physiotherapy.
