| hospital wards and how their design is reflected in the external facade |
Mondays are hectic, I am not sure if staying at home to work helps or not. In any case, it proved to be a long day of listening to people, asking questions and offering opinions. Consultation - that's what it is.
The morning started with a quick chat to organise our thoughts for this afternoon's meeting with OMS; sorting out our material based on the agenda, and there was the M&E candidates to interview today. The rest of the morning was spent with Tay and the Year 2 students, all doing their best except for 4, Hfz, Sfn, Az and V - instead of a firm rebuke, this time we kept our doors open and asked them to contact us to discuss, and told them there is still time to do a decent project to pass.
This continued until 1pm and a little beyond, soon the Segamat meeting would start and there is always a bit of tension in the air when meeting HL (with her staff). It seems that we will have plenty to do in the next three months for the planning submission and that the project will be three years in its construction ending in early 2025 ( I'll be 60!)

| learning from our first hospital, the high level windows were omitted from this scheme |
These slides were used earlier to explain the design of the ward rooms and its relationship with the building's elevations, we also talked about passive design, about borrowed light, looking out windows and using money efficiently. We also interviewed 3 candidates - I learnt that clients value working bosses, and honesty; I made up my mind about how to recommend the QS for this job that afternoon.

| The strip windows from Bagan were especially effective, so we are re-adapting them here for Segamat. |
