ARCHITRCTURE DESIGN STUDIO 5

ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 5

Architecture Design Studio V focuses on the theme of place-making for the urban community. It aims to explore urban conditions pertaining to movement, events and spaces within urban street context and to provide appropriate architectural solutions in designing a Art Centre for the urban community, for the city’s inhabitants.

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. Demonstrate the fundamental knowledge of Design Codes and Regulations

4. Explore plan-section and elevational studies to resolve relevant aesthetic, construction and environmental issues in the design development phase

5. 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.

6. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually communicate architectural ideas and scheme

PROJECT 1- PRELIMINARY STUDIES

The Preliminary Studies is a preparatory assignment that focuses on investigating basic notions of the city, and learning from examples of Art Centre around the world. This assignment aims to firstly introduce students to the basics in urban design and its relation to architecture, and secondly, studying and determining the programmatic function, societal role and spatial layout of a Art Centre and architectural responses for urban infills.

The Preliminary Studies comprises of three components: Site Documentation, Site Analysis, and Precedent Studies of Urban Infills and Art Centre. The Site Documentation and Site Analysis will equip students with a firm understanding of the site they will be working with this semester, while the Precedent Studies will provide an insight into architectural responses for designing an urban infill Art Centre.

The site given is Jalan Sulaiman , Kajang. After an in depth investigation on site, we have to select a better site for our project 2 - Art Centre.
