Project o1 >> A Personal Space

In a group of 3, we were to deals with user experience that requires us to design a personal space which is intended for a specific user based on an in-depth study of the user’s need. It is to develop awareness of environmental sustainability in a design and ability to meet the imperative and interrelated social needs.
In addition, the project will be preparing us to programmatic requirements of specific group of users for the upcoming Project 2.

Objectives of Project
The objectives of this project are as follow:

To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design
To develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings
To further develop understandings on human scale, proportion, ergonomic and materiality.

Learning Outcomes of this Project

Identify and analyze environmental qualities and contextual needs of a site (human environment within an architectural space)
Apply ideas of environmental sustainability (gained from precedent studies, Environmental Sustainable Design and Building Science 1 modules in previous semesters).
Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural context and existing built context (harness environmental qualities of the site to inform design) which impact on users’ experiences.

Project o2 >> Primary School for Alternative Education

The project required to design of a school for a selected Alternative Education Program for primary years students in a suburban area with some complexity that includes the complexity of site topography and vegetation and socio-cultural events. Full design proposal incorporating precedent study and site analysis at appropriate level of presentation are required to be presented. It explores design solution that responds to the choice of AEP, context of the site and conditions for human and environment sustainability. Design solutions that reduce environmental impact utilizing clustered spatial typology and passive energy were encourage to explore. The design should contribute to and merge harmoniously with nature and the site, and provide the best of experiences for the users.

Objectives of Project
The objectives of this project are as follow:

To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design
To develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings
To emphasize on space planning of clusters of buildings

Learning Outcomes of this Project

Apply ideas of environmental sustainability in design
Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural context and existing built context which impact on users’ experiences
Combine the environmental needs, the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), and the users’ experiences within simple building design in the open landscape/suburban context.
Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas based on clustered spatial typology.
