MR WAN Sir,

I've generally looked through what we are supposed to do for project 6 - Urban Planning - and I've found out that there is the need for us to have a time with you, sir for consultance and also to discuss about the assignment in order to straighten out all the questions that we are going to come through.

We believe, although we are doing "simulation", we are to take the whole process as if it were reality. Hence, professional guidance from experties or immediate professionals are crucial for us to learn to listen to the advices that we are able to get in the planning process. The intention of meeting with you, sir is so that we would be able to start off on the right track, and continue to build on the outcome of the discussion, as well as that we may be supervised somewhere in the middle of the project to keep us on the right track.

Therefore, I humbly ask of you sir, if you would be willing to spare some of your precious time (about an hour to two) sometime in between Sunday afternoon to Tuesday morning with us to advise us. If it is not convenience around that hour, could you sir, kindly inform me of some of the hours that you would be able to, and are willing to guide us with this assignment.

Your cooperation is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Regards
Hii KS

It's agreed that we meet at E48B, 10pm, Monday 7Sep2009. Apart from addressing the above, we hope to have an  INSTANT URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP in one of the studios to also answer questions such as follows:

Sir, I have a question to ask. My question is if we take the part "School of Design", do we also have to design every single rooms in the building ( I mean how the rooms look like and what are the rooms function/its detail) ? or we only design the the front, side and back elevations?

sir, i would like to ask that if the site (exp. site no.5) we want to choose is too wide, can we just use a portion of it and keep the rest for future use? thank you.

Sir, Sorry to interupt u. I think there must be some mistakes when alloting the precinct to each group .It is because that while the locations of precincts r changing, the number of each site is changing at the same time. However, I found our group got the old number but a new precinct during the time I checked the URBAN SITE ACTORS . The old number was the very begining one we chose and there were no major changes in this project at that time.
Hope that u will know that. LiYang

mr wan.. the site we chose on friday was the one at Dataran Merah,which was site 13.. but suddenly you changed it to site 17, so we resubmitted another mail to choose site 17.. we wanted to do theme garden, and are already working on it.. is there any way we could still do theme garden at site 17? we noticed there's one more spot left..thanks..
By attending the Intermediate Crit/ IUD Workshop, we hope that most of the basic questions shall be answered.
