Project 2(B) :
STREET INTERVENTION
Introduction
PHOENIX STREET
WE NEED TO CONSTRUCT IDEAS ON STREET INTERVENTION BASED ON THE CONDUCTED SITE STUDY. EXAMPLE OF STREET INTERVENTION INCLUDE STREET INSTALLATIONS, STREET ARTS, STREETS FACILITIES AND ETC. IN RELATION TO THIS INTERVENTION, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE SITE POTENTIAL/ISSUES AT FIRST. AS A GROUP, WE ARE ASSIGNED TO A SITE IN KL WHICH IS BRICKFIELDS AND THEREFORE, WE ARE TO CONDUCT A SITE STUDY WHERE AN INVESTIGATION IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH SITE OBSERVATION. WE ARE THEN TO PREPARE A SITE INVENTORY (DATA COLLECTION) AND EVALUATION OF THE SITE AND STREET. FROM THE CHOSEN SITE, WE NEED TO SELECT A STREET WHICH IS 100M-200M DISTANCE, NOT NECESSARY TO BE A LONG STRETCH, TO CONDUCT OUR SITE INVESTIGATION. WE NEED TO SELECT 2 OPTIONS AND TO DISCUSS WITH OUR LECTURER DURING TUTORIAL SESSION BEFORE GOING TO THE SITE AND FINALLY WE FINALIZE OUR STREET AS JALAN THAMBIPILLAY. WE ARE TO TAKE A TRAIN TO OUR SITE THROUGH KL’S RAIL TRANSIT NETWORK. BEFORE GOING ON THE TRIP, WE NEED TO CONDUCT A PRE-VISIT THROUGH ONLINE PLATFORM USING 3D STREET VIEW, "GOOGLE EARTH". WE NEED TO CAPTURE THE TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE BUILT ELEMENTS IN OUR SITE THROUGH PHOTOGRAPH, INTERVIEW, VIDEO RECORDING ETC. WE ALSO NEED TO BE CRITICAL WHEN CONDUCTING OUR SITE STUDY.

OUR JOURNEY STARTED BY CARRYING OUT OUR SITE STUDY. WE WENT TO OUR STREET EARLY IN THE MORNING AND WENT BACK LATE MIDNIGHT. IT WAS FUN, TIRING, AND MEMORABLE ALL AT ONCE.
SITE VISIT
BEFORE WE WENT TO OUR SITE, OUR GROUP CONSTRUCTED A CHECKLIST AND ALSO A QUESTIONNAIRE SO THAT WE CAN OBTAIN EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO TRANSFER TO OUR PRESENTATION BOARDS. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS QUITE A FEW MINOR OBSTACLES THAT WE FACED ON THE STREET STUDY DAY, I CONSIDER OUR ENTIRE TRIP A SUCCESS. RIGHT AFTER WE COMPLETED OUR STREET STUDY, WE IMMEDIATELY ORGANISED OUT FINDINGS AND STARTED TO PLAN OUR PRESENTATION BOARD LAYOUTS.
THE PLANNING OF IT IS MORE TROUBLESOME AS WE THOUGHT AND IT CONSUMED QUITE A LOT OF TIME JUST FOR THE PLANNING. CARRYING ON, WE STRAIGHT AWAY STARTED OUR DRAWING AND TRACING PROCESS. OUR GROUP DYNAMIC IS UTTERLY STRONG AND AS A GROUP LEADER I COULDN'T APPRECIATE MORE. EVERYONE WAS 100% COMMITTED IN THIS PROJECT AND WE ALSO THOUGHT OF OUR OWN PARTICULAR STRATEGY OF WORKING. OUR BIGGEST CATALYST OF WORK PROGRESS AND QUALITY MAINTAINER IS DRAWING ALL THE DIAGRAMS ON SEPARATE PAPERS RATHER THAN ON BOARD AND ORGANISE THEM ON BOARD AFTERWARDS BY USING THE ART OF TRACING. BY DOING SO WE DON'T HAVE TO REDRAW EVERYTHING WHENEVER WE ARE REQUIRED TO REORGANISE THE DRAWINGS ON BOARD. WE ALSO PRINTED OUT COMPUTER TYPED WORDS FOR US TO TRACE TO KEEP OUT WORDS NEAT AND PRECISE.
WE HAD A LOT OF GUIDANCE FROM OUR RESPECTED LECTURERS AS FOR FIGURING OUT OUR STREET INTERVENTION IDEA AND AS WE COMBINE THEIR SUGGESTIONS WITH OUR OWN IDEAS, WE MANAGES TO HAVE A STREET INTERVENTION THAT ALL OF US ARE UTTERLY SATISFIED WITH.
AS FOR THE 2D POP-UP MODEL, WE FACES TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OBSTACLES MAKING IT BUT AT THE END WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE ONE THAT WE ARE THOROUGHLY SATISFY WITH.

Reflection and Tgc
I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE, WHETHER ITS FROM MY LECTURERS, MY TEAM MATES, OR EVEN MY COURSE MATES, I CHERISH AND APPRECIATE EACH AND ONE OF THEM. I HAVE NEVER WORK IN A GROUP WITH SUCH STRONG TEAM DYNAMICS AND I LOVE THE TEAMWORK SPIRIT THAT WE POSSESS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY TEAM MATES HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND TOGETHER WE MAKE A POWERFUL ONE. I CREDIT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY TEAM MATES AS FOR MAKING THE ENTIRE PROJECT A SUCCESS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THEM. WE ARE THOROUGHLY COMMITTED TO THIS GROUP AND WE SACRIFICE OUR SLEEPING TIME TO COMPLETE OUR TASKS MARVELOUSLY. IN THIS BUMPY JOURNEY, WE EXPERIENCE A LOT OF UPS AND DOWNS BUT WITH CONSTANT SUPPORT AND MOTIVES, WE BROKE FREE FROM NEGATIVITIES AND SUCCEEDED AT THE END.
