Task
The assignment consists of two components: an individual task and a group task. For group task, We were required to conduct a site visit to Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest to design a discovery center. This involved studying and gathering data from both the macro site, which is the Tanjung Biru area, and the micro site, which is the the given site area. Next, we were required to produce site analysis diagrams, manually draw measured drawings, build a site model, and compile all of these components in a presentation slide. For individual task, we are required to produce personal interpretation and perception sketches of the site.
Progress
The location of the site visit is Tanjung Biru, Port Dickson and Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest. We collected all the necessary data like sun path, wind direction, vegetations, circulation, context and etc in a group.

Individual task
I have photographed some views and elements on site to help with my sketches.
Site visit
Outcome
As a group, we came to a conclusion that Tanjung Biru is like a "fragmented shoreline" as the surrounding around the area has lost majority of it's natural elements due to neglect or
lack of care. Additionally, Tanjung Biru is part of Negeri Sembilan but Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest is part of the Malacca state but yet the beach is the uniting factor that ties all these elements together so it creates this dichotomy. In order to unify them, there must be some sort of reintegration of the micro site into the macro site due to it's disconnection.
Site Model
Reflection
Throughout this assignment, I acquired valuable experience collaborating effectively within a team while gathering data and information during our site visit. This process provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the site's overall condition and relationships, thereby aiding in the comprehension of spatial typologies, section-plan relationships, contextual conditions, and considerations related to human scale, natural light, materiality, textures, and more, all of which informed our design approach. Furthermore, I learned a lot while creating site analysis diagrams with relevant sketches and annotations. Additionally, I learned the techniques necessary to produce a physically scaled model of 1:100, ensuring each element adhered to the correct scale and using suitable materials to achieve precision and best results.
