Design Studio 3
Project 1: Journey of the 5 Senses
Project 1 consists of 2 main tasks as described below:
1A- PRECEDENT STUDIES: Analysing spatial poetics & spatial typologies in architecture
Project 1A is to identify and analyze spatial order and spatial poetics through precedent studies. Students required to analyse the spatial poetics & spatial typology of the selected precedents. In groups of 4-5 students, select 2 precedents for analysis. One precedent must
be pre-modern movement, and one precedent must be contemporary. Also, one precedent must be linear, and the other concentric. Record the analysis on 2 A3 panels that includes diagrams, photos and minimal annotations illustrating the analysis of your selected precedents.
1B- Journey for the 5 senses
Use the design strategies in 1A, design a poetic spaces themed "journey of the 5 senses". Students are given literature, poetry, lyric to read and we are required to visualise it from an architectural viewpoint. Translate the literature, poetry or lyric into a journey by using 2 contrasting spatial typologies which is linear and concentric. Design should be consider the human scale, light / shadow, materials / texture.
Project 2: Genius Loci: Site Analysis & Concept Development
Group work
In the same group from Project 1, we are required to conduct site analysis of the physical context within the identified MACRO & MICRO sites.
Besides the tangible analysis of the site, we should also focus on the intangible site analysis. Such as the historical tracings of the MACRO site, mapping a site over a series of significant stages in the course of its history provides a description of the life and memory of
a place. They can provide inspiration for a contemporary idea that connects directly with past archaeology/memory/history
of the site. Produce a site analysis of the identified MACRO (40%) & MICRO (60%) site by a 7-10 minute digital presentation per group.
Individual work
Students must show how their conceptual ideas / design strategy and its development into a design scheme works and how it is responsive to the context. Students must also show how the design has been developed into an “Experiential space” taking into account the considerations of users, context, function and experience
