PROJECT 1 |Memorials themed              'Journey of the 5 senses'

 

 

Project 1 is an introductory project by which we are required to explore issues of spatial typologies and poetics through simple design exercises. Working in groups of 5 students, we are to propose 2 schemes for a Memorial themed ‘journey for the 5 senses’. We are required to design the Memorials in the form of semi-open architecture by using two contrasting spatial types of your choice. There is no specific site for this design work. The story of our Memorial should translate the narrative of events given by our tutor, and it should be informed by precedents studies.

Task
Students require to select 2 precedent studies building for analysis, 2 A3 panels.
i. Pre-modern movement & Contemporary
ii. Linear & Concentric
After that, students have to design two memorial parks, 8 A3 panels required 
i. 10 x 10 x 10 m for concentric
ii. 50 meters for linear

 

 

 

 

 

PROJECT 2 | GENIUS LOCI:

       Site Analysis & Concept Development                 

The first assignment for Project 2 requires an analysis of the site context as a starting point. It is a fundamental need for any design project as it will suggest a series of parameters to suggest architectural solution, one that will be appropriate to the place and its meaning, and contributes to its context. The site needs to be understood, in both intuitive and personal ways, as well as quantitative and measured means. Techniques to record and understand the site are varied, from physical surveys to qualitative aspects of experience and personal interpretation of the place.

TASK

We are require to produce 2 things which 

(a) Site Analysis present in group
(b) Concept Development which is Individual project
i. hand sketches [2 x A3 Panels]
ii. Concept Drawings [Plan, Section, Elevation]
iii. Digital Model [A3 Panel]

PROJECT 3 | GENIUS LOCI:

    VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE (VIC)

 

Project 1 introduced and explored the formal and poetic articulation of architecture in a site-less condition. Project 2 established a Design Concept as a driver for architectural development. In Project 3, the design brief calls for an architectural response to design AN INTERPRETIVE CENTRE emphasising a strong engagement and relationship to the site, spatial experiences and programmatic requirements.

 

 

 

TASK

(i) SCHEMATIC DESIGN

(ii) KEY SECTION AND EXPERIENTIAL SPACES

 

 

 

LEARNING OUTCOME

1. Generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context

2. Generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materials/texture

3. Design a small scale community building which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences

4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas
