Project 1 : Famous People, Familiar Faces-Diagrammatic Abstraction
Project 2 (a) : Site Analysis & Site Scanning
Project 2 (c) : Tea House
Architecture Design Studio 2
Project 2 (b) : Tea For Two
Objective
To investigate and to explore how spaces are created from the making of architectural elements: architectonics.-solid, planes, lines and frames. Upon completion of the project student should be able to achieve a level of understanding on the works assigned and will be able to apply the idea and concept to their project later.
The idea of using pure and diagrammatic drawing to express the architectural idea would also be in cooperated into this assignment.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
1. Gain ability to identify famous architects and their
works
2. Understand the basic architectural compositions of
solids, planes, lines and frames.
3. Gain ability to Diagram and analyse architectural work
of selected architect
Diagrammatic Analysis
Drawn Plans
Objective
The objectives of this project are to introduce the notions of concepts, program and process in architectural design and also to introduce students’ to the understanding of user specific design requirements. Besides that, the aim is also to introduce the notions of space, form and function in architectural design and awareness of site specific design and the process of site analysis
Learning Outcomes of this Project
1. Sucessfully interpret and analyse simple site context
2. Successfully interpret and analyse client’s character and
needs in relation to the design of a small building
3. Able to design a simple building type that meets user
requirements and respect site context that balances both
internal (architectural spaces/layout/circulation) and external
(aesthetics and forms) design values
The main aim of Project 2a is to identify and analyze the site context for project 2b and 2c design exploration. The class is divided into groups, to carry out a site analysis. The data collected on site will then be taken back to the studio for analysis and presentation. Each student must then synthesis the data for their own design proposal.
Site Scanning requires students to observe and explores the physical characteristic of the site. They are to observed, experienced and ‘scan’ it onto series of A5 postcard. ‘Scanning’ would entail the analysis and representation of the natural physical context onto abstract forms. The product of this exercise will then be translated to conceptual ideas for the following projects.
Site Analysis Of Bharat Tea Plantation
Objective
In a group of two, we generated a form and space through architectural conceptualisation in a given dimension which is 3 x 3 x 3 meter. We were to select a tea culture and were assign to design a structure of delight for the purpose of tea drinking. The design of the tea house needs to represent the culture itself.
