THESIS DESIGN METHOD
there are several steps in designing. it is a journey called BASIC design procedure or process that would be very interested as it involved in problem seeking and solving.
1. Brief – simple instruction and direction. this may be your problem definition , problem statement , problem identification or statement of intent.
from here , we may need to stated out
- scenario of setting ( come from the background of setting)
- background of problem
- aim ( ultimate decision – eg, build an aboriginal culture )
- objective ( answer from aims)
- hypothesis / research question ( related to objective )

 why problem seeking so important?
because it help us in initialing project and solve the problem.

 are we a creative person?
a creative person will not always think of the result of the problem but enjoy and interested into the problem solving process eg, cracking head and not much concern about the award or achievement? in order to be creative, we need to have good imagination , interest and play the opportunity for you to reimage. the malay idiom also got mentioned that “ di mana tenggelam ,di sini jalan”?

ways to collect data
A. get an idea through online , reference book to collect the general and seems / real / virtual data only
B. get into actual things , eg: get advice from other or visit the aboriginal centre to sense it ( see, hear , touch , smell , taste… haha!)
C. feel it deeply through the first hand experience and those who experience before. eg: design a keris , we might can find the craft maker
D. other : indirect resources like the photographer may touch and capture the keris before so they know its beauty part or the worker in craft industry may indirectly expose to part of the process of making keris.
nevertheless , there are other reason / problem rise and it is not in the working title . eg, the working title is to build an aboriginal center but it already having problem in relating to other aspects like tourism issue and the sustainable issue. aboriginal people not only being ignored and didn’t get any benefit , but also always being exploited as the original craft work they didn’t we didn’t appreciate as we always value it by money. we are concerned about how to improve yet wish to maintain the sustainability of community and building. if build a school , naturally is close to the education system. eg, an engineering school suddenly can have very excellent achievement after importing the musical instrument and multimedia resource into it. why? because it activate the other side of brain and can use both side con currently .
2. Analysis – seems like trying to take a big piece of an object to break it into many small pieces in order to see the relationship in between and so on , so that we can put or recompile the object into whole.
targets for our analysis
A. site / context ( site planning / analysis / synthesis )
B. user /client ( brief )
- eg, if the petronas is our our client , we have to very much concerned about the image and reputation= green colour maybe)
C. building ( included circulation / structure / building service / circulation??)
- it is sort of precedent study that we can find out the role studies and building studies
Method of analysis
A. comparison
B. SWOT
3. Synthesis – conclusion of analysis
A. start with IDEA – if really not idea at that moment , then just scripting
B. sketch scheme – have a proper scale and plan and other too.
C. sketch development
D. finalized scheme
4. Implementary :
how it is build ? but in school , these include the drawing , multimedia , model. multimedia become very public because it is movable.
5. Comunniciation
A. verbal
B. visual graphical
C. model
D. aid computer
actually all these five steps can be shortlist as a few words – IDEA & CRITIREA
only the 3 aspects we are emphasize : technical part , functionality ( at least should have the purpose of space eg, painting ?) and aesthetic effect.
this is what I wish to share with you guys , hopefully will benefit someone ….
meanwhile , hope you guys can share what you learnt too. happy learning 
and happy Chinese new year!!! haha…
