04. Sense of Place (Introduction)

In Project 04: Sense Of Place, we are given the task to identify a suitable location to place the outcome of Project of Project 03 on any particular site on any particular site on USM Main Campus. We need to get site information to be analyzed. The information must be cover every environmental aspects of the site like location, topography, prevailing wind direction, sun path and site potential.


We have to generate an A4-size report that provides information related to the selected sites. The report shall contain the Key Plan, Location Plan and Site Plan, as well as other relevant data that can provide complete information on the selected site.


For the Plan of USM, we found in 2 place: Development Department of USM and IT lab of Housing, Building and Planning School. Most of us face some problem of the size of plan. The size of the plan is too large and we have to zoom into A3 size.

Most of the Information, I search for internet. Beside that, we had to visit to our site and observe around the site. Meanwhile, we also have to take some photo for evidence of report.


In this project, I have to draw the site plan and the section elevation of my site. Many measurement have to be made to made diagram more clear. At the end of the project, I learned the basic knowledge of preparing a report for a particular project site. Aspect of technical drawing and writing are exposed by me in this project.
