Task
I need to form a group which consists of five person including me. We need to do two will three pages in Canva and the pages must be in A2 size. The task has distinguished into two parts which are "Part A - Case Studies on Public Spaces" and "Part B - Public Space Intervention". In Part A, we need to choose two public spaces which have the Covid-19Â intervention and do research on them. We also need to understand about the tangible and intangible components of the public spaces. In Part B, we need to choose a space in Taylor's Lakeside Campus then reimagine the space that we selected. We can use the references that we searched in Part A and must understand the SOPs in Malaysia. Besides, we need to create a theme for the spaces that we chose and illustrate them by using conceptual plan, diagraming or others.
Progress
Week 1
I still sticked to the previous group which is the ENBEÂ Assignment 1B but without Kevin. So, the group members are me, Rumi, Nikhil and William. We had a meeting and discussed about the final decision for the spaces in Taylor's Lakeside Campus which is the Amphitheatre. It is just a short meeting and we did our own researches and findings about Part A first then discussed it in the next meeting.
Week 2
We found many public spaces actually but most of them doesn't have a specific details about the Covid-19 intervention. The website just showed some images and few sentences about the concept only. We changed our public spaces many times. And in this week, we finalised as the K-Farm Hong Kong and Duling Avenue.
Week 3
After doing some research on the K Farm Hong Kong, we still don't have a specific details and information about the covid intervention. Hence, we decided to search another public space again as replacements. Finally, we found Couchant Beach in France. We did some research of it but not much in this week because we wasted much time on finding a new public spaces.
Week 4
Everyone is busy on the ENBE Assignment 2B because this week is the submission week for the assignment. Thus, we just had one meeting. In this week, Tech Zhong Yang also just joined our group and we used much time to tell him about our current progress and plans due to some miscommunications. So, we just placed few informations on the actual Canva boards only.

Week 5
Our progress was really very slow and many things hadn't completed yet. So, we did more further researches on the public spaces then straight arranged properly in the Canva board. For me, I used Google Earth to capture the infrastructures and facilities which are provided in the sites. Then, I also did the designing part which means the arrangement of all information in the Canva board. After that, we also discussed and finalised the concept that we wanna use in the Amphitheatre which is the LEPARK AREA. We slightly found some images for the amphitheatre too and wrote down all the concept that we want to use such as Outdoor Theatre, Outdoor Relaxing Area and Outdoor Mamak. We also finalised all the Covid intervention and the further illustration will be done in the incoming week.
Week 6
This week is the submission week. Luckily, we did majority works on the previous week. After some final touchup on the first and second page which is the Part A, both of them was officially completed and  we just remained the part B. I drew the conceptual plan of the LEPARK AREA and other members added the details of the intervention and other informations of the site. After that, I sent the work to Ms Renee for checking and improvements were done which are designing an elevation view of the Covid Intervention that we imagined in Part B. For the Conceptual Plan, I did it manually but I did the elevation view digitally because its much difficult to draw for me personally. So, after designing it, I sent to Ms Renee again and she approved it then I submitted the work.
Our Final Outcome !!!

Reflection
I learnt to never give up easily actually and I could said this was the toughest research by far due to the online limitation. Luckily, our team had much team spirits and kept finding the best locations for the case study. I also learnt to made the board more infographic because my previous work looked wordy. I also learnt to work as a team in this assignment too although we had some miscommunication at the beginning. Meanwhile, conceptual plan and elevation view plan also were learnt by me. Actually my original conceptual plan was looked like a human cell because of my bad drawing but luckily I tried it again with different methods such as the size and diameters of the sites, more colourful colourings and many more. It was fun to team up with my teammates!
