PROJECT 1(A) : DEVELOPING AN ARCHITECTURAL POSITION & THE PROGRAMME
In this project, we are to further develop the studio design project and position in architecture and should begin with considering a position/topic in architectural design to explore. Based on that, we are required to conduct and present the following pre-design analysis:
1. Studies of the contextual conditions of the site
2. Studies on the selected user group and building types
3. Studies on precedents that inform the ideas/approach/strategies underlying the design.
Based on the pre-design phase, a simple design brief that includes: the topic of exploration, the building type, the user group and the schedule of accommodation should be developed.
Objectives:
-
Develop a simple brief for an architectural design project
-
Conduct pre-design analyse to inform the design project
REFLECTION
From this project, I've learnt to formulate a simple brief that include appropriate architectural programme and planning within a selected architectural context. Next, able to analyse case studies to gain understanding of architectural responses and strategies of an intentional design strategy to inform the design project and learned to conduct contextual and user analysis in the pre-design phase.
PROJECT 1(B) : DESIGN STRATEGY PROPOSAL
In this phase of design, we are required to take the information gathered and create 2-3 or several options for consideration. We were required to study, analyse and further develop these ideas and options through the use of conceptual drawings such as: sketches, diagrams and study models to visualize different routes and approaches to the project.
Objectives:
-
To develop a design strategy (to the level of sketch design phase) for the proposed project
REFLECTION
From this project, I've learnt to produce a formal architectural design strategy that response to the proposed brief
PROJECT 1(C) : DETAILED DESIGN
In addition to students ability to develop their own position in developing their individual project within the theme of ‘sustaining humanities’- architecture for people, place and time, one key aspect of the design project is to develop holistic and integrated aspects of technology, environment and cultural context in architectural design. Thus, students are required to further develop scheme with the incorporation of environmental strategies and technological resolutions. The intention of integrating the E&T aspect is to strengthen design on the aspect of sustainability and buildability. The studies will be included in a 5000 word comprehensive design report.
Objectives:
-
To consolidate an understanding of the holistic nature of the architectural design process, to a given degree of detail, with emphasis on design as an integrative process, drawing as appropriate on previous subjects of the program

Architecture Design Report:
REFLECTION
From this project, I've learnt to produce design development drawings for a selected portion of design with a suitable level of complexity and able to design with considerations of building performance (thermal comfort, acoustic and lighting), regulatory frameworks, and health and safety considerations. Not only that, I'm also able to produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling, verbal presentation and a design report to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.
