Reconstructing Sustainable Outdoor Learning Environment in Malaysia from the Understanding of Natural School Design and Approaches in Indonesia
AbstractWith current development in the pedagogy of teaching and learning approaches in the world, not many studies have been done on outdoor learning in Malaysia. Most of the study was focusing on the development of curriculum and the delivery of knowledge but not many writing and approaches has been done to see outdoor learning as one of the alternative methods of learning in school design. This paper tries to briefly explain the philosophy and approaches of one of the alternative school in Indonesia which is the Natural school or Sekolah Alam which grow tremendously fast in Indonesia. With its unique methods and learning philosophy, this Toto Chan's style of learning has been considered one of the fastest growing alternative school in Indonesia. With its successful attempt in grooming unordinary children this school has proofed to be the most effective implementation of outdoor learning study methods in Indonesia. The discussion itself will consist of four (4) main parts First part will discuss on the current problem and situation in teaching and learning in Malaysia, while the second part will try to explore and review on the definition of outdoor learning with its importance and character in learning environment. The third part will focused on the lesson from Natural School approaches and philosophy of learning while the last part will do some analysis and comparison which result on the suggestion and recommendation for outdoor learning facilities design in Malaysia
Redefining library learning Facilities in Malaysia: Lesson from Frank Lloyd Wright sustainable approach in spatial and landscape design
AbstractThe main objective of this paper is to initiate and open a wider discussion on library design and learning facilities in Malaysia. It tries to take some lesson from one of the greatest modern American Architect which is Frank Lloyd Wright. The discussion itself will consist of four (4) parts. First part will discuss on the current problem and situation in reading and library issues in Malaysia while the second part will try to explore and review on the definition of outdoor learning with its importance and character in learning environment. The third part will focused on the Frank Lloyd Wright's sustainable approaches in spatial and landscape arrangement while the last part will do some analysis and comparison which result on the suggestion and recommendation for outdoor learning facilities design in Malaysia. With some understanding from the established environmental approaches of Frank Lloyd Wright's above it is expected that we can reconstruct and redefine some framework and guideline for future outdoor facilities design in Malaysia
The application of photogrammetry in architecture historical documentation: the measured drawing of Tanjung Sembrong Mosque and Teratak Selari Bonda
Architectural measured drawings refer to the process of on-site constructed building documentation in the form of presentable set architectural drawings. The drawings are produced by executing the on-site measurement before converting it into an appropriate architectural drawing scheme. Traditionally, the process begins by obtaining the measurement of the building wholly with the aid of standard measurement tools. With this method, there are issues and challenges identified in obtaining accurate measurement. The process is complicated due to human limitations in getting the measurement on the highest peak of the building. With the assistance of geomatics tools, the photogrammetry method assisting in obtaining such measurements, specifically the roof of the building. This publication explains the integration process of the traditional measurement method and photogrammetry through the measured drawing exercise of Tanjung Sembrong Mosque and Teratak Selari Bonda located at Parit Raja, Johore. The procedure involves the common measurement technique using standard measurement tools integrated with the photogrammetry methods with UAV usage to capture the coordinated aerial image of both buildings
