design studio FOUR.

       project TWO.

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

 

Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:

 

1. Apply ideas of environmental sustainability in design

2. Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural context and existing built context     which impact on users’ experiences 

3. Combine the environmental needs, the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), and the users’ experiences within simple building           design in the open landscape/suburban context. 

4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas based on               clustered spatial typology. 

 

Project brief

 

This project requires students to propose a communal facility accommodating several related functions such as meeting and learning in a suburban context. Students are to develop their own concept for the communal space based on their research of the area and the community’s needs. This working method is intended to have the student design in near full-freedom; however they will be required to make an informed response firstly to the surrounding context. Their capacity to respond architecturally and contextually to this task will form part of the basis upon which they will be marked.
