Currently were so busy with all the projects and assignments, that's why left the blog with so dusty.
Yes, after Project 1 STALL, and then proceeded to Project 2 which is the post office, located in USM Main Campus.

| This is the existing post office in USM. |
First and foremost, yes, site analysis is required before designing a building. Even in Project 1, we had done the site analysis also, indeed now i know what to do in site analysis. Different from first year, the site analysis we did is so simple. Through the site analysis in second year, I know how the site analysis works with criteria that are needed.
We are assigned to design a newly-built post office either demolishing all the existing structures or maintaining some structures. Besides, we are also required to design a tower either attaching with the building or isolated from the building to be an iconic structure.
Thus, I maintain some of the structures and it looks like totally having the same Floor Plan as the existing post office. The building design is with butterfly roof and the green element that I introduced here is rainwater harvesting channel. The rainwater will be collected by the gutter and directed to a water tank and then it will be reused for toilet-used and sprinkler system ( refer SECTION X-X to locate the gutter.) The tower I designed is functional which is a clock tower.
