ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 2
Architecture Design Studio 2 introduces the principles and methods of analysis, abstraction, and synthesis in design thinking that are common in architecture field. The key emphasis of the studio is “User and Context”, which investigates the relationship between user and natural environment. In studio 2, we have an investigation of the architectural spaces through prototype studies, exploration of form and space through architectural conceptualization and finally design a weekend lodging that meets user requirements and engages with the site context
Learning Outcomes
1. Generate design possibilities through the use of architectonics in a simple architectural form space and function
2. Explore architectural design through the abstraction of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional compositions of space
3. Interpret and analyze simple site context, client’s character and needs in relation to the design of a small building
4. Translate design ideas into habitable architectural spaces through drawing and making
5. Design a simple building type that meets user requirements and respects site context that balances both internal and external design values
PROJECT 1- DIAGRAMMATIC ANALYSIS
The first project of design studio 2 is to investigate and make analysis on the architectural elements such as lines, shapes and forms on the building that is assigned to us
In this project, I am grouped with Shannon Yeong , Koid ,Erna Looi , Voon Say Loon , Lee Xing Shen , Kua Ze Xin and Elisa Hiew . The building assigned for us is the Breathing House by Atelier Riri, a famous architect in Indonesia.
We are asked to study the buildings and come out with diagrammatic diagrams and models. This project helps us a lot in upcoming projects as we are able to make analysis to the architectural elements and understand the factors that affect the design.
PROJECT 2- GAZEBO
For project 2, in a group of 4, we are required to design a gazebo which correspond to the site given. The site given to us is Taman Tugu Negara . Before we came out with the design concept, we pay a visit to Taman Tugu Negara and analyse the site.
After analyzing the site, we came out with out with the design concept "Fallen Soldiers". By doing this project, we are able to generate structure, form and space through architectural conceptualization with the emphasis on the user requirement, ergonomics and site responding to develop an architectural proposition.
PROJECT 3- WEEKEND LODGING
For project 3, we are required to use design a weekend lodging for the users in KL ECO Forest Park. I have came out with the concept of intertwining human and nature in my weekend lodging to rise awareness about the important of the nature. By doing this project, I am able to understand the user specific design requirements and space, form and function in architectural design.
