The Echo of Dristhi Chi Yu Qian Enough with night life haunts and unhealthy entertainment centres. Better to find calm through yoga. A final year student of KDU Penang University College pursuing her diploma in creative media design offered a wholesome paradigm shift when she embarked on a project idea that turns an entertainment centre into a yoga centre integrated with cafes and parks. “I came out with an idea of a huge transformation of an original entertainment space into a calming yoga centre,” said Chi Yu Qian. “These days, working adults tend to be overstressed and find ways to release their tensions at clubs and bars till past midnight,” she added. Chi had a vision in which her yoga centre would be equipped with yoga elements, a café and parks where people can socialise while adopting a healthy lifestyle. “I usually get inspiration from my daily life because the design is just all about everything around us,” she expressed. Chi was among 16 students who showcased their final year projects in the A.G.E Final Year Exhibition held on Aug 24, 2018, in First Avenue Mall. This is the finale for the students, who were pursuing their Diploma in Interior Design or Diploma in Creative Media Design. BUILT ENVIRONMENT 17
KDU ALUMNI KDU believes that people should learn more from people and not just from books. Here at KDU Penang University College, not only is that practised, but people also celebrate the inspiration they bring to each other. I still remember the first day I stepped into college on a Monday morning, realising a new path of my life would begin. Time passed in the glimpse of an eye and 2 years went by. Now, I am looking forward to attending the first lecture of my degree in BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture. I learned useful tips and knowledge from highly skilled lecturers and, of course, hard work and the determination to learn helped a lot in developing a better me. Learning will always be much more fun and easy with the help of lecturers and tutors who share their knowledge and experience with us young interior designers. In the second semester, we had 2 main core design subjects, Interior Design Studio 1: Interior Architecture and Design Studio 2: Computer Aided Design Visualisation. We learned new design software and new methods of presenting our projects to clients by utilising Virtual Reality (VR) and barcode scanners. By using these technologies and a new way of presenting our projects with a 360-degree view, we managed to amaze architects from Paramount Property who came for our final presentation. Now I truly hoped to complete my degree with flying colours and good reviews to face the future working industry. I am looking forward to the next few remaining semesters JOHN POH and will continue to work harder than ever to achieve my dreams and make everyone proud. Alumni of Diploma in Interior Design 2nd Year Student of B. Arts (Hons) in Interior Architecture I am an Interior Designer from Penang who recently completed my diploma course in KDU Penang University College. Throughout my years studying, not only did I enhance myself as an interior designer, but I also gained many precious memories and came across different kinds of people. I started my life in KDU Penang UC in January, 2015, with just a handful of classmates. The first semester passed uneventfully but on my second semester, I met many new people from the March 2015 intake. Slowly but surely, I was making new friends. We once had a task given by our lecturer to work as a team to decorate an event’s backdrop. It was like a bonding session for us to get to know one another but surely, arguments were inevitable. It made us grow and learn to respect each other. From that point onwards, I gained confidence and close friends. That was the true beginning of my life in KDU Penang UC. The memories we shared and the bonds we made allowed me to improve myself as a person. KDU Penang UC changed an introverted person like me. I left my comfort zone and embraced challenges. One of the most memorable experiences was being a curator for our final year exhibition in 2017, M.A.D.E. Being in a spot where you must balance the need to get good grades with the desire to organise the event successfully was YEAP WEI TING certainly tiring yet fulfilling. I’m glad that my life in KDU Penang’s Department of Built Alumni of Diploma in Interior Design Environment was a fun and fulfilling one. Currently, I am looking forward to furthering my Best Student for 2017 studies once again in KDU Penang UC, in which I hope to experience another exciting time. 18 KDU PENANG UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
