Project 1
A PERSONAL SPACE
Introduction:
Project 1 deals with user experience that requires students to design a personal space which intended for a specific user based on an in-depth study of the user's need. It is to develop awareness of environmental sustainability in a design and student's ability to meet the imperative and inter-related social needs. In addition, the project will prepare students to programmatic requirements of specific group of users for Project 2.
The objectives of this project are:
• To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design.
• To develop the students' ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings.
• To further develop understandings on human scale, proportion, ergonomic and materiality.
Learning Outcome:
• Identify and analyze environmental qualities and contextual needs of a site (Human environment within an architectural space)
• Apply ideas of environmental sustainability (gained from precedent studies, ESD and Building Science 1 in architectural design)
• Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural context and existing built context (harness environmental qualities of the site to inform design ) which impact on users' experiences.

Project 2
CENTER FOR THE ELDERLY
Introduction:
The project calls for a design of an elderly center in a suburban area with some complexity that includes the complexity of site topography and vegetation and socio-cultural events. Students are required to provide full design proposal incorporating precedent study and site analysis at appropriate level of presentation.
The objectives of this project are:
• To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design.
• To develop the students' ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings.
• To emphasize on space planning of clusters of building,
Learning Outcome:
• Apply ideas of environmental sustainability in design
• 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
• 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.
• Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modeling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and
ideas based on clustered spatial typology.
