PROJECT'S RESEARCH

1.QUESTIONNAIRE

Q.HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR HOUSES??

A.by using our hands with materials like knifes to cut the bamboo trees down and the leafs.

Q.HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?

A.well approximately a year an a half.

Q.WHAT IS THE CAPACITY WHICH THEY COULD WITHSTAND?

A.the whole family can stay on the house but when a girl from the house is married outside,she moves out to stay with the husband.

Q.HOW ARE THEY BUILT?

A.they are built using material from the forest,as it provides everything. men of the village gather up and help the owner to build the house using their hands and the resources they have.

Q.WHAT MATERIAL DO YOU USE TO BUILD THEM HOUSES?

A.we use bamboo trees to make the wall,poles supporting the houses and also for stepping on,which is more like mats or floor. for roofing we use leafs called "rumbia" as many as possible and put them close by so that water may not enter.

Q.WHY ARE THEY ALL SUSPENDED FROM THE GROUND A FEW INCHES, IS THERE A SPECIFIC ANSWER TO WHY THEY ARE NOT ON THE GROUND LIKE MOST HOUSES BUILT NOWADAYS?

A.we try t avoid snakes from crawling inside,and also from water as its always raining in the forest. so with the houses suspended we are show of not sleeping with snakes and other crawlers or not having our properties soaked into water and spoiled.

Q.HOW MANY TYPES ARE THERE?

A.we only have one type,and its the one you see around everywhere.

Q.VENTILATION?

A.well as you can see the house walls are made of bamboo sticks so air ventilation is good.

Q.ORIGINALITY,HAS THE OLD HOUSES DESIGNS BEEN CHANGED FROM THE ONES WHICH ORIGINATED?

A.i am afraid not,this has been the design of the houses ever since my friend.

Q.WELL IT WAS NICE TALKING TO YOU,HOPE TO DO IT AGAIN.

A.same here,only time shall tell when.

Q.thank you sir

A.you are most welcome

2.OBSERVATION

My observation at the "ORANG AS LI SETTLEMENTS" we visited,i observed a lot of things. First thing when we arrived the eldest of the village welcomed us with a warm smile like they we expecting us. we started to interact with the people and they were all happy to have us as their visitors for the day.

Now i ll talk about the arrangements of the houses,well they were built in some sort of a circular shape with the entrance at the other end, more like a "horse shoe". they had 9 houses and 4 more houses which were not complete. and fortunately we found one of the man preparing bamboo for the new house.

The people there live like one big family and they were all under one house chilling. some ladies were washing clothes at the tap water pipe.

RESEARCH AND DATA PLANNING

• Questionnaires:
• a popular means of collecting data, but are difficult to design and often require many rewrites before an acceptable questionnaire is produced.
• Interviews:
• a technique that is primarily used to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons and motivations for people’s attitudes, preferences or behaviour.
• Observation:
• involves recording the behavioural patterns of people, objects and events in a systematic manner.
• Portfolios:
• recording information about how each problem arose, methods used to solve it, and difficulties encountered. it records everything in sufficient detail to analyse. It is very time-consuming.
• facts findings:
• things which are truthfully told and no one can stand in your way and argue. The facts of the place,people or their lifestyle,which is mostly true if taken first hand.

VIDEO:

-here i just want to include a few footage of how it looks like and the atmosphere around that place.

HISTORY

The Orang asli people lived alone until they were involved in tradings with the Indians.this made them visible and easily contacted by the world.They retreated further into the inland to avoid everything.They were also the target of Christian missionary and subjects of anthropological research.

SLAVERY

Slave raids into Orang Asli settlements were quite common,in the 18th and 19th centuries. Slave-raiders were mainly local Malays and Bataks, who considered the Orang Asli as 'kafirs', 'non-humans', 'savages' and 'jungle-beasts.During the raid,adults were killed and women and children were captured and sold to local rulers.This period is a sad one never to be forgotten by those still alive.

ECONOMY

Orang Asli living in remote forest areas engaged in some trading with the Malays, with jungle produce being exchanged for salt, knives and metal axe-heads.

FINAL POSTER:

ASSIGNMENT 1:submission

OBJECTIVE:

-TO STUDY AND IDENTIFY THE DESIGN ISSUE BASED ON FLORA AND FAUNA IN MALAYSIA

DEFINITION:

—FAUNA AND FLORA:Fauna or faunæ is all of the animal life of any particular region or time. The corresponding term for plants is flora.

IN MALAYSIA

—About 70% of Malaysia consists of tropical rain forest
and its the rising star of South East Asian tourism, a nation looking to the future while cherishing the ways of the past.

—Malaysia has plenty of natural attractions to satisfy even the most discerning of adventure seekers. More than 50 per cent of its land mass is still covered in forest cover. And with the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean lapping its shores, there is an enormous variety of flora, fauna and marine life to be enjoyed.

POSTERS DESIGNS

This was some of the designs i did,so that i can a direction as to what i was suppose to do and my lay outs and the rest.

POSTERS

In this poster i used different colors which are more visible and eye catching, this was because malaysian flag has all this colors except for green which on its own represent nature.

In this one i made ma background blue as to that the topic lies along the lines of nature both animal and plants and since there are no animals i just used blue.

"TrIP tO FRIM"

date:Tuesday 22 June 2010

time: 8:45am

We took a trip 2 one of Malaysia s best nature sites called "FRIM", which stands for FOREST RESEARCH INSTITUTE MALAYSIA.Here is a map of how you can get to the place:

It was an eventful day,including the journey which took about approximately an hour and a half to two hours.Some of the facts i learnt about the place was that they had one of the biggest amazon fish which is A "DRAGON FISH",it eats small monkeys and sometimes they feed it "KFC" which is one of life s finest tasty treats.

Here is a picture of the fish:

(sorry its not clear)

Second was a "DREANDROCALAMUS GIGANTEUS" which has flowers but only produce them after 50 to 100 years.The "KULIM KHADAH"-garlic which was eaten by old people and can also be used 2 replace onion. It helped in the process of blood circulation.The "ELEPHANT TREE" which really looks like an elephant with the trunk and all.

here is a picture:

There was a lot to learn from nature and finally we made it to the "CANOPY WALKWAY" which was at the top of the mountain and it took us an hour to get up there.So to make the post interesting i will just put up the pictures so you can feast your eyes on nature's magnificence and see how i spent my day which to me was "ZE BEST EVA"

ENJOY...!!!

..::arrived at the place and this was how far the bus could take us...."WAIT FOR MORE"::..

..::entrance to the jungle side::..

;;::they call that one the "GHOST PALM",and it was used for family planning::..

..::now i officially welcome you to the forest,thats the beauty of its trees...they formed a map-like image and for your information that is one of the reasons why its always dark in the forest::..

..::taking pictures of the "rubber tree",which we mostly use to rub pencils n other things::..

..::i find the leave fascinating,it has its unique touches::..

..::trees::..

..::finally made it to the top,and getting ready to do the "walk on air"...::..

..::our instructor on duty::..

..::now this is more like it,students attentive and listening to the man up there in charge "GOD"...hehe,just kidding...the instructor,who was telling us the rules and regulations which we should abide by while in his territory and some of the things he shared which i found most important was the number of people walking on the "canopy walkway" which is "5" and distance which we should keep apart::..

..::well here we go,first step on thin ice...it was not that scary walking to the corner which then came a long walk from the corner tree to the 2nd platform. fortunately the young lady you see who i was following was cool and collected and could do stunts while up there, so she made it more easy and a lot fun::..

..::this was the 2nd platform and it only carries a maximum of 4 people,so 1 more we all go down 1000 ft...just kidding,well it is just for cautious purposes::..

..::oohh i forgot to mention Pino,he told me that he was just thinking of home while on that plank...you can see him shakin in his pants::..

..::3rd platform base looking at the 4th platform which pretty looks lyk a long way::..

..::approaching the last platform,in other words "finish line"

..::on our way back down the hill,tired as hell but not really::..

..::touch down,finally on common grounds::..
