Architectural Design Studio 4 [ARC60206]
In this exercise, in a group of 3, we are to design an outdoor personal space that is flexible, lightweight as well as safe with all mechanisms being simple and easy to operate. Materials for its construction are from sustainable sources and weather proof. It is of multipurpose; must be able to accommodate/support a user’s activities which include ties back to ONE or more key characteristics of AEP in general based on their research, observation and interview.
Project 2: Site Analysis
Each group is to provide comprehensive analysis of the site. A 2A1 boards with relevant data is required, such as site plan, diagrams, analysis, 3D site model, conclusion.
Project 3: Primary School for Alternative Education
This project calls for a design of a school for a selected Alternative Education Program for primary years students in a suburban area with some complexity that includes the complexity of site topography and vegetation and socio-cultural events. We are required to provide full design proposal incorporating precedent study and site analysis at appropriate level of presentation.
It explores design solution that responds to the choice of AEP, context of the site and conditions for human and environment sustainability. We are to explore design solutions that reduce environmental impact utilizing clustered spatial typology and passive energy. The design should contribute to and merge harmoniously with nature and the site, and provide the best of experiences for the users.
