Task
To construct a 1:1 functional bamboo structure that serves a purpose that has been given to the team.
First, learn about the composition of bamboo and how to join it. research on ergonomics and anthropometry is also important.
Examine concepts with mockup models.
Create a 1:1 bamboo structure to be installed in Kebun Komuniti USJ2 using our expertise of bamboo, anthropometrics, and ergonomics. Additionally, our structure must accommodate the needs and preferences of the park's patrons.
When the construction is finished, make presentation boards with the structure's drawings on them to deliver the presentation.

My team was assigned the function of Safekeeping.
OUTCOME
Throughout the process, we have learned about teamwork, management, structure, ergonomics, anthropometrics, and a bunch of stuff. We did a site visit pre-construction and we found out that our site is a little more challenging than the other groups because of the client's needs. Therefore, we brainstormed about the design and concerned about the possibility to built the structure out.

FINAL MODEL
REFLECTION
This is actually my favorite assignment for the semester. We spend two weeks for making models, planning, analysis, and discussions and another two weeks constructing the actual 1:1 scale bamboo. From morning till midnight, I have been through a lot physically and mentally. Our design went from A all the way to Z from the beginning, this made me more aware of the importance of good planning and a good leader. In real-world construction, everyone must work together and demonstrate their professionality to ensure the quality of the building. Therefore, I think teamwork and communication also took a really important role in a team. In that sense, our group doesn't do a good move actually, we felt really upset when our structure doesn't work on the actual presentation day. But at the same time, our tutor Ms. Sze Ee gave us many motivations and comfort us, I think she is a very good tutor. Although this assignment is really tiring, I gained a lot from it. Overall, I am still happy with it.
