eco campaign 2015 eco ideas proposal competition
first runner-up
19 June 2015
In this varsity-level competition, participants from all schools present their ideas on ways to decreasing carbon-emission, urban heat island effect and other negative impacts on our environment through ways of waste management, innovative technology or any other methods.
Our team's idea is to revolutionize residential housing plans by redirecting waste from housing units to an urban farming zone. Agriculture with close proximity to the living areas produces organic food back to the residents. This decreases the demand of transportation of food from other places and fully utilize waste as fertilizer, thus making residential houses more self-sustainable.

methods of documentation and measured drawings
part 1: sketchbook journal
This subject is a short semester that lasts for 2 months, aiming to provide a platform to us to develop an understanding of the principles of building preservation and conservation by recording it in three documentation methods; measured drawings, written documentation and photographic documentation. In groups of 10-30, we document historically and architecturally significant buildings in the form of as-built drawings. Fieldworks were conducted to create complemented with a report that explains about the background, history, concept, style construction technics and ornamentation of the building.
Consisting of 13 people and a graduated senior helper, my team and I went to Xi'an, China to do this project. Our site is the theatrical complex of Li Yuan in Guanzhong Folk Custom Art Museum, Xi'an built in 1324.

part 4: report
part 5: measured drawings
Field work done on-site within the compound of Li Yuan.
A month was spent on completing the model, report and measured drawings. Laser printing methods and AutoCAD skills learnt were utilized.
This project is an eye-opener and a memorable experience to all of us as we get the taste of doing field work thousands of miles overseas in freezing temperatues. We learnt on ways to conduct accurate measurements and understand the cultural attributes of a built environment. Due to time constraints and lack of human resources, we learnt to juggle time and manpower when doing this project. These skills will be useful in the following semesters.
