ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 1

Architectural Design Studio 1 is structured as an introduction to architectural design. This preliminary design module aims to present and explains design through the expression of the perception of ‘self’ and the body. Students will undertake a series of studio-based exercises and assignments that introduces the fundamental methods, principles and approaches in design thinking and basic spatial design.

Learning Outcomes

1. Generate design concepts through the process of exploring various sources and abstracting ideas.

2. Identify key architectural design elements and principles with the ability to discern how they inform space and form

3. Relate the idea of the individual ‘self’ and the body’ to space and its experiential qualities.

4. Articulate and apply architectural design elements, principles and materials to create an architectural composition that demonstrates place-making.

5. Utilize a process-oriented approach involving sketching and model-making as tools for generating and developing design ideas.

6. Produce legible orthogonal drawings and architectural models to visualize and communicate final design.

Project 1- Representing me

The first project of design studio 1 is perform an art form which represents our own characteristics and personalities. Selection of materials are important as I used line, shape and colours to express myself and formed a creativity art form.

On the other hand, the presentation board is created as it includes generating of idea and concept.

Project 2- A temporary shelter

We were assigned in a group of 8. We are given an opportunity to express creativity to produce a shelter by applying scale and proportion to create space for shelter.

In this project ,We have to apply the design elements and principles in the tent as well as consider about the anthropometry of human in the tent.

Project 3- Space For The Self

The last project of design studio is to design a hideout for your personalities. We have to select a site for our hideout as well. This project requires us to apply all the techniques and knowledge that we have learnt from the lectures and previous project such as design elements and principles, anthropometry and narrative skills

This project is also integrated with design communication. We have to produce orthographic drawings for our hideout as well as interior perspective drawings.

I have designed the space for the self by using the terms that best describe me which are

1.Mental

2.Emotional

3.Physical

My final space for the self,ADVENTURE is designed.
