Rate Swap RefundDavid DartenInterest rate swaps (IRS) allow parties to exchange one type of interest rate for another in order to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates. In a basic IRS, one party pays a fixed interest rate while the other pays a variable rate. This means that if rates rise above the predetermined level, the party paying variable will pay the fixed rate payer, and vice versa if rates fall. IRS can cap rates so the fixed rate payer never pays above a certain level. However, IRS became problematic after 2008 when rates dropped unexpectedly low and parties paying variable faced increased costs, hurting their businesses further during an economic downturn. Rate Swap Refunds can now help clients exit swap agreements that are no longer beneficial.

Project 1-Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and DesignAngeline KHThis document presents a case study of the lighting conditions at Cafe Giacometti in Switzerland. The cafe was chosen as a precedent study due to its variety of daylighting conditions from both direct and indirect natural light. Measurements and simulations of illuminance levels throughout the cafe were taken at different times of day. The results showed significant variation in maximum and average illuminance between the central area near shaded glazing compared to the southwest corner near an unshaded window. Illuminance levels peaked at over 7000 lux near the unshaded window but dropped to 500 lux further away. This created distinct light zones within the space that occupants could choose from depending on their visual comfort needs and task.
THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE & URBANISM [ARC61303] [ARC2224]- Synopsis: Interpret...Angeline KHThe document summarizes four texts related to architecture theory:
1. An Architecture of the Seven Senses addresses the loss of sensuality in modern architecture and calls for designs that engage all five senses.
2. Semiology and Architecture discusses how meaning is derived from architectural forms and can differ between individuals.
3. Semiology and the Urban examines the multiple interpretations of urban spaces and argues against fixed meanings.
4. Towards a Critical Regionalism proposes an approach that counters placelessness in modern design through contextual responses and universal progressive qualities.
Angeline-BSc2- Integration with Design Studio 5Angeline KHThe document discusses lighting and acoustic proposals for a culinary school building. For lighting, it calculates the daylight factor and proposes artificial lighting solutions for various spaces like the culinary studio and demonstration kitchen using the lumen method. For acoustics, it calculates the reverberation time and sound pressure levels for the culinary studio and demonstration kitchen to evaluate compliance with standards. Equations and calculations are shown for both lighting and acoustic analyses.
ASIAN ARCHITECTURE [ARC 2234]- Project 1: Case Study Paper: Openings as a Met...Angeline KHThis document is a student project report that analyzes and compares the use of openings in adapted vernacular architecture and contemporary architecture at the Belum Rainforest Resort in Pulau Banding, Malaysia. It discusses factors that affect thermal comfort, how openings react to these factors, and describes the types and placement of openings in the Kampung House villas and Deluxe Suites at the resort. The report finds that both building types utilize openings strategically through orientation, size, location and shading elements to maximize natural ventilation and minimize solar heat gain to achieve thermal comfort for occupants.
ARC2615 LOG SHEETS FILE_AngelineKonKeeHooi0302068Angeline KH- Students completing an architecture internship must use their time to broaden their knowledge and experience in the field. They are responsible for seeking out opportunities to address any deficiencies in their internship experience.
- Students must download and regularly fill out electronic log sheets on a weekly basis to record their internship activities and experience in areas like schematic design, permit application, and contract documentation.
- In addition to log sheets, students must submit a written report summarizing their overall internship experience in 1000-1500 words, with details of projects and certification from their supervising architect. The report provides an opportunity for students to expand on their experience and for assessment of their internship learning outcomes.
ARC2615 REPORT FILE_AngelineKonKeeHooi0302068Angeline KHThe document is an internship report submitted by Angeline Kon Kee Hooi. It details her internship experience at Arkitek Wan Choong, including the various projects she was involved in and tasks she completed. Some of the key projects and responsibilities mentioned are 3D modeling and rendering, preparing drawings for authority submission, participating in site inspections, and contract documentation. The report expresses gratitude to those who supported and guided her during the internship.

Lum Chong Lin and analyzes the design of his Perdana Homes housing development in Kuantan, Malaysia. It discusses how Lum was influenced by modernist principles of form following function and simplicity. The design of Perdana Homes utilizes strategies like orientation, fenestration, overhangs and voids to promote natural ventilation and thermal comfort according to the local climate. The open floor plans and layout are designed for functionality and usability. Modernist ideas of standardization and simplicity are evident through the clarity of forms and reduction of ornamentation.
A3-Lighting and Acoustic ResearchAngeline KHThe document contains acoustic data for different zones in a building including material absorption coefficients and sound level readings taken during peak and non-peak hours. Sound absorption coefficients are provided for various materials used in building components like walls, floors and ceilings. Tables show the peak and non-peak hour sound level readings in decibels at different coordinates within each zone, along with the highest and lowest readings. Furniture materials and their absorption coefficients are also listed.

The student is required to propose modifications to the floor, wall, roof, and basement systems and document the changes in a report and set of working drawings. Specifically, the student proposes using a composite concrete bondek floor system, glazed timber curtain wall system, steel truss roof structure with profiled metal roofing, and a newly added basement level with micropile foundation. Documentation of the redesign includes modified floor plans, elevations, sections and construction detail drawings.
