Since last 2 years, KBU has been organizing an orientation event for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 students, which we named it as Crazy Week. How crazy it is? It is VERY crazy!!
The aims for the crazy week are to demonstrate the creativity in two and three-dimensional exploration, consideration of structure, construction, material and finishes, demonstrate critical awareness on global issues and sustainability and also demonstrate effective teamwork.
The theme for this year is BIOSPHERE. Biosphere simply means “life on Earth” that is of all living things on Earth. Students are to work within given groups to explore the terminology “Biosphere” in innovative ways using graphical presentation, installation and performance. What is so CRAZY about this Crazy week is that students are divided into 5 groups and are required to produce: Bunting design, montage design, short movie, commercial break, lighting design, installation design, furniture design and performance in 3 WEEKS time!
The day has finally come for what students have been preparing for 3 hard weeks. It started off with a short briefing by Ms Atie in the KBU multi-purpose hall. After that, students were required to proceed to assembly the pre-fabricated installation, lighting and furniture design at the given site in one hour time.
Before we continued to the performance, we were proud to invite the panel of judges to join us this year: Mr Fahkul- International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Mr Chen- TS Exim Sdn Bhd, Representative Management Team- ELK Furniture Sdn Bhd.
Presentation like what we have been practicing throughout our learning process in KBU.
Lunch time!
While others were having their lunch, some students were MIA (Missing In Action) preparing themselves to give their best in the performance later~
