ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROJECT
(PRJ 60408)
PRE-DESIGN STUDIES & ANALYSIS
Assignment 1
This capstone project is based on the theme ‘architecture with an impact’ and the formulation of an architectural intervention that embodies sensitivity in the meditation between architecture and socio-cultural needs, the designs of internal spaces, and the demands of the external constraints. Progressing from the previous studio where it focused on urban streets, this semester, aims to empower the urban fabric by focusing on the needs and aspirations of the place and its people in relation to the current times
DESIGN STARTEGIES & EXPLORATION
Assignment 2
In this stage and upon clearly understanding the 3P: people, place and project, students will take the project to the next level. Under the tutor’s guidance and studio direction, students are to progress by exploring the project proposal presented by the group in Project 1a, individually. Each student explores design ideas within the proposal into multiple angles and possibilities, looking carefully into the functionality, effectiveness, spatial quality, and form composition
FINAL DESIGN PRESENTATION & PROJECT
Final Assignment
Subsequent to Project 1b Schematic Design phase, students are required to further develop and finalize the scheme for the Urban Room project. A fully resolved and developed design scheme with the incorporation of environmental strategies and technological strategies and technical resolution. In this phase, students will be aided with additional input from a series of lectures focusing on poetics, tectonics, sustainability, building safety compliance, façade, and aesthetic and presentation techniques.
