PSY Final Project- Group Project and Presentation

Here comes the final work! In this project, we were required to come out with a built environment design in a group of about 4-7 members that could reflect social theories and concepts that we intended to elaborate on. All the drawings should be presented on a piece of mahjong paper with proper title and annotations. A write up was to be done to explain the details of our plan and the social concepts applied. After all, we were to present our work verbally as a group and record it down for marking and reference.

The intended outcome of this project is to apply social theories in our plan and presentation as well as to understand various social issues and circumstances in our current society.

My group members:

Chan Jia Xin

Chong Hui Xin

Saba Sanei

Tan Sheau Hui

Our group has designed a recreational park for relaxing and socializing with different people as to reduce stereotype, discrimination and prejudice in our society.

Present to you, PSP Park!

Reflection

I have realised that a built environment could be designed to bring positive effects on our social world only after this project was done. It was a fun process planning with my group members on our intended design.

 Discipline Specific Knowledge

I learned about applying social theories into a design of a park based on our current society trends and needs such as providing outdoor facilities for the adults and skate park for the children and teenagers.

 Thinking and Problem Solving Skills

Planning on a space requires creative and critical thinking so that our proposal could be great and the most important is to make it functional and suitable to the users. We have discussed several times to get the best ideas for this project.

 Communication Skills

Not only communicate among group members, we have gained confidence in verbally presenting our work to others. I learned to give and accept opinions from others so as to achieve the ideal outcome.

It is also important to know our part for the presentation so that it could be done smoothly as a team.

 Citizenship and Global Perspectives

Last but not least, I learned to understand more about our current social issues and values. It is good and easier to propose our space design if we are aware of the values and opinions from different perspectives.
