STUDIO 3
Project 1a - PRECEDENT STUDIES
Analysing spatial poetics & spatial typologies in architecture
The objective of Project 1a is to identify and analyze spatial order and spatial poetics through precedent studies. The main aim is to analyse 2 selected architectural precedents. Each group of students is to analyse the spatial poetics & spatial typology of the selected precedents. The analysis of the design approaches will inform the preceding design projects for the remaining semester. Thus, the selection of precedents should be critical and inspirational.

Project 1a - ‘Journey for the 5 senses’
POETIC ARCHITECTURE
Using the design strategies based on the Project 1a, design a Poetic Space themed ‘journey for the five senses’.

Project 2 - GENIUS LOCI
Site Analysis & Concept Development
Society, culture, history, memory and the landscape of a particular place echoes the meaning of that ‘place’, or its ‘genius loci’. These qualities will inform the architectural concept and generators for Project 2. In Project 2, the design brief calls for an architectural response toward the sense of place with a strong engagement and relationship to the site and programmatic requirements.
Learning Outcomes:
-
Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context and the ‘genius loci’ of place
-
Produce a concept design for a Visitor Interpretive Centre based on the site analysis conclusions.


Project 3 - GENIUS LOCI
VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE (VIC)
Learning Outcomes
-
Generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context
-
Generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materials/texture
-
Design a small scale community building which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences
-
Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.
