PROJECT 3: FINISHING AND PRESENTATION
For the final project, students are required to design a space for the self by attaching it to the walls of an imagined ‘city’ in an empty abandoned lot in between two buildings. The space is to fit a specific use (as a dream space: for viewing, space for contemplating, space for selfexploration, space for exercising, space for dreaming, space showcasing and so to speak a dream space for the user).
​
Student will be required to design 2-3 spaces with a gross floor area of 70-100 sq.mts. Hideout should not occupy more than 70% of the site. The design should either attached with at least one or both walls of the two buildings. Study model is required with the scale of 1:50.

THE FINALISED DESIGN
REFLECTION
This project marks an end to my semester 1. I am now able to generate design concepts through the process of exploring various sources and abstracting ideas. I can identify key architectural design elements and principles with the ability to discern how they inform space and form. I also can relate the idea of the individual ‘self’ and the body’ to space and its experiential qualities. I am able to articulate and apply architectural design elements, principles and materials to create an architectural composition that demonstrates place-making. I can utilize a process-oriented approach involving sketching and model-making as tools for generating and developing design ideas. Lastly, I can produce legible orthogonal drawings and architectural models to visualize and communicate final design.
