POSITION

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROJECT [ARC3127]

This module is a thematic studio based on the theme of “sustaining humanities”—architecture for people, place and time. Designing for sustainability has been a fundamental issue for architects in our time within global and regional contexts. In line with the current discourse on sustainability, it upholds the believe that architecture can create better places, that architecture can affect society and humanity, and that it can have a role making a place civilized by making a community more liveable.

Proposed design project is developed to reflect theme and finalize a programme that addresses the needs of the required user group, as well as provide spaces that invite interaction with the surrounding contextual conditions. In addition to the theme of sustaining humanities, the module focuses on the development of integration with technology, environment and cultural context in architectural design.

OBJECTIVE

• Develop a simple brief for an architectural design project

• Conduct pre-design analyse to inform the design project

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Formulate a simple brief that include appropriate architectural programme and planning within selected architectural context

• Analyse case studies to gain understanding of architectural responses and strategies of intention design strategy to inform the design project
• Conduct contextual and user analysis in the pre-design phase

CASE STUDIES PERFORMING ART CENTRE

In addition to develop design position within the theme of ‘sustaining humanities’— architecture for people, place and time, one key aspect of the design project is to develop holistic and integrated aspects of technology, environment and cultural context in architectural design. Subsequent to Phase 2: Design Strategy and Sketch Design phase, students are required to develop environmental strategies and technological resolutions with the main intent to strengthen their design exploration/ideas, and complement their design through a comprehensive design report. This phase is carefully integrated with the Building Technology 2 module.

PRESENTATION

OBJECTIVE

• To consolidate an understanding of the holistic nature of the architectural design process, to a given degree of detail, with emphasis on design as an integrative process, drawing as appropriate on previous subjects of the program.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Produce design development drawings with a suitable level of complexity

• Design with considerations of building performance (thermal comfort, acoustic and lighting), regulatory frameworks,healthand safety considerations.

• Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling, verbal presentation and a design report to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas
