PROJECT 1:
Part 1: Research Findings .....................................................................................(10% - 3 members)
For the First part of the project requires us students to do an in-depth research regarding the 6 listed Therapeutic which were namely
1. Weight management
2. Occupational
3. Native
4. Dietary/ Nutrition

6. Cerebral
My group which consisted of only 3 members; Me, Wafaa and Clawdie has received "Dietary/ Nutrition" as our assigned topic.
PROJECT 1.a: Site and Building Analysis / Precedence Studies...............................(10% Class Work)
The Second part of the project 1 required us students to do a site and building analysis as well as compile findings and conduct a presentation. The entire class has been given separate task in order to obtain maximum information thus also helping to reduce each students work load. A complete set of informations regarding the site surrounding/ context as well as the existing building condition is to be crucially documented in any appropriate media as it is to be presented as a group presentation to the board of panels.
These were the groups that we were being assigned to:
Site
Visit Site Measurements Group
Site Context Studies Group
Swot Studies Group
Post
Site Visit Technical Drawing
Production Group
Data & Swot Studies Group
Model Making Group
Reflection:
I personally felt as tho the subject of "Dietary/ Nutrition" was a tough subject to tackle. Having said what usually comes to mind when a person mentions "curative centre" is usually a spa; a place for pampering and relaxing. The first part of the project my group and I did not find any difficulty in delegating the task equally. We gathered a bunch of information regarding Dietary/ Nutrition; Definition of Dietary, Importance of Healthy Eating, Food culture in Malaysia and the Dietary Issues Faced. Even by understanding the current situation of how us Malaysians react to consuming healthy food there was a constant challenge of how to create a "Different Curative Centre" something that would differentiate and make our curative space stand out.

PROJECT 2.a:
The second task was for us group members to choose the therapeutic recuperation and come up with a Brand + cooperate identity. The idea is to incorporate the brand into a designed promo booth that is built within the space area of 1500 x1500.
Requirements:
Presentation Slides, Presentation Video
Scale Model of Promotional Booth
Branding Presentation Board
Side View
Reflection:
The idea of incorporating a brand was important to fully understand what the curative centre was to offer. I've once again teamed up with my previous group mates and decided on a brand name"Sukha" which represented a healthy eating lifestyle. The idea of the promotional kiosk was also design in a way so that the kiosk would have both a negative and positive design in which allowed customers to view the booth in all directions. The challenges I've came to realise was that alot of consideration is to be considered when creating a promotional kiosk such as making it portable and lightweight. Therefore, our designs were made lightweight and easy to store away.

FINAL PROJECT: Curative Retreat
Reflection:
From all the time spent doing research regarding Dietary/ Nutrition for the Curative Retreat Centre, I can safely say that great thoughts have to be put into in order to create a different more appealing design, one that stands out. I suppose time management was something that I struggled with, knowing that I was indeed weak with technical softwares, it froze me. However, redoing my submission boards I did try my best. Learning to use photoshop as well as Illustrator to further enhance the images and recompose the boards were important lessons learned.
