DESIGN STUDIO V
PROJECT 1: PRELIMINARIES STUDY
Objectives:
1. To have an overview of the formation of cities and introduce basic concepts of urban design in relation to architectural design
2. To introduce and implement basic methodologies of urban studies
3. To investigate the role of community libraries in traditional and contemporary urban societies
4. To examine various examples and architectural responses for urban infills
Learning Outcomes:
1. Analyze the site character and identify conditions of the urban streetscape and urban behavioural patterns
2. Analyze case studies to gain understanding of architectural response for urban infill sites and for spatial programming to inform the design project
3. Produce necessary documentation (diagrams, mappings, photographic images, orthographic drawings and models) to record and communicate site analysis findings, and for further use in the coming design stages
PROJECT 2: community library
Objectives:
1. To take into consideration key aspects of urban design and context in relation to architecture
2. To develop an awareness and basic compliance to Design Codes and Statutory Requirements
3. To emphasize the importance of elevational context and composition in developing architectural design
4. To implement and explore the conceptual, schematic and design development phases in an architectural design project
Learning Outcomes:
1. Demonstrate the fundamental knowledge of Design Codes and Regulations
2. Explore plan-section and elevational studies to resolve relevant aesthetic, construction and environmental issues in the design development phase
3. Produce a design outcome that encompasses the appropriate site-specific architectural responses through its formal, cultural, legislative, structural and environmental design solutions for specific urban issues.
4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually communicate architectural ideas and scheme
