Site Analysis & Design Response
This project, we will be designing Kebun Komuniti PLUS, a Neighbourhood Garden Center with communal facilities. The we will be working within the neighbourhoods of USJ2, Selangor within the vicinity of Kebun Komuniti USJ2. The entire site USJ2 Park will be considered as the context, although the boundary for the building is demarcated. The mature neighbourhood exhibits a multi-dimensional context. We are then tasked to identify, analyse, and synthesize the context into their design solution. We will have to take note of the characteristics and needs of the community in to expand and enrich their project for Kebun Komuniti PLUS. As a conclusion of the Site Analysis, we will work with our tutorial group to develop a group masterplan with strategies and sketch planning proposals as the base for their Project 2.

Reflection
Through this assignment, I've learnt how to identify and analyze environmental qualities and contextual needs of a site and apply ideas of environmental sustainability. Other than that, I've also learnt how to design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural context and existing built context (harness environmental qualities of the site to inform design which impact on users’ experiences.
