25 Architecture students from Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus had their SABD Measured Drawing and Documentation in one of the famous historical building in Penang

named Wisma Yeap Chor Ee. They had been measuring and sketch all the parts of the building for 5 days which is to be present for their final submission on 12 Mac 2014.

WISMA YEAP CHOR EE is a historical building located at China Street Ghaut, Pen-ang. It was built around 1922 for Yeap Chor

Ee who was famous with “a rags-to-riches Chi-na-born tycoon who owned all the properties on the south side of China Street Ghaut. The whitewashed building is three storeys tall and

is entirely rusticated.

BUILDING STORIES

COURTYARD

This building consists 3 storeys floor with linear arrangment of columns. Most of the space and rooms look alike and have the

same type of doors and windows.

In the middle part of the building, it

consists of an open space which can

be known as a courtyard. With four

walls and no roof, it gives a natural

feeling as it is connected to the nature.

STAIRCASE

HALLWAY

第二楼

The staircase is a triple quarter landing staircase. This type of staircase allow the user to see the trace of each floor wider. It also tends to save some space and give

aesthatic value to the building.

Most of the hallway and passageway in this building has an open frame to see the courtyard. It is just so interesting when

the rooms can be quite dark but when you walk using the hallway automatically your

vision become wider as you can see the nature and the facade of the building.


TIME MANAGEMENT

DOCTOR, I’M SICK...It’s quite sad to hear some of the students weren’t

feeling well and some need to run to clinic for doctor’s

aid and medication. Despite their sickness, they still

be on site and did their work attentively. They took

precaution by wearing mask to the site and advice the

other students to do the same thing too.

AIN ’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!BIRD POOPS, RUSTY, DIRTY, SMELLY!

The title states it all. Students couldn’t care less about

those awful things. They just continued with their work

eventhough there was no ventilation such as air cond

and also working under the hot sun. This prove that

these students deserve a clap to strive everything all

out.

GHOST BUSTER! ! ! 2 student got locked outside balcony with mysterious reason.

These 2 students were in charged to measure the balcony due to their

elevation part. They remembered that they open the door widely to

prevent from any case to happened. There were no one also in the

room with the balcony except for both of them. Surprisingly, when

they finished their task and turned their head, the door was shutly

closed. They hurrily called their friend to open the door for them and

accused their friend for doing so. But more surprisingly that no one

had time to play joke with them and really think that the door was

closed by itself.

“Hurmm..Now, we understand the reason why we have to leave

the building straight away when the clock strikes 5pm exactly”

With perfect schedule and neat divisional task, the students could performed their task

attentively and finished their work early. Every divisional task been assigned a

leader to handle the teams. As for the schedule, they perfectly made one

for themselves to follow and concentrate perfectly with their work.


SCREENING LIVE INTO MOVIETHEIR MEASURED DRAWING’S BUILDING WAS

SCREENED INTO MOVIE

Since the building give out a lot of aesthatic and historical value,

it had been a location setting. It was directed by an oscar-winning

producer, Ang Lee. The building was transformed into a shopping

boutique in Shanghai as the backdrop for a scene.

LONGEST CAFE IN PENANG

The students took their free time for an educational art

seminar in the longest cafe in Penang which known as

CHINA HOUSE. They met an artist who sketch a lot

while travelling or sight seeing. He adviced the students

to keep on dancing their hands on paper by sketching.

The reason is to increase their creativity and understand

their drawing with more details and story.

HOUSE CONVERT

TO A MUSEUM

BRINGING BACK LIFE

This museum was the first home of Yap Chor Yee.

After that, his descendant convert the building to a

museum in 2008. Through the journey of Yeap Chor Ee,

the gallery gives an insight into his remarkable life and

the lives of immigrants who arrived on the island from

China more than 100 years ago.

On the way back to their campus, unexpected

story happened when one of the bus couldn’t be

driven on the road anymore. Luckily, they used

two buses to traveled them from one place to

another.They just have to cramped inside one

bus with another group of students that mea-

sured different building. In the end, they all

went back safely and reached home to their

family :)
