Studio 3

Project 1

In this project, a group of 5 students were required to perform research and design a memorial base on two poems chosen in order to express poetics within our designs. The poem and song chosen was "A dog has died" and " I dreamed a drea" respectively.

Project 2

In the same group from Project 1, students have to conduct site analysis of the physical context within the identified MACRO & MICRO sites based on the Orientation (sun path), Climate (rainfall & temperature), Site contours, Adjacent street and vehicular traffic patterns, Pedestrian circulation, Neighbouring contexts, Vegetation, Views from the site, Views to and through the site, Noise, Human-Cultural and SWOT Analysis and compile them in 7-10 minutes video. Our site is the Bukit Cina located in Malacca City.

Final Project

In this project, students have to propose a design scheme which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences for their VIC. They have to select  initial design ideas and develop it by producing a schematic plan and section, and a study model 1:250 respond to the physical site context and functional requirements. Besides, they are required to generate design through conscious consideration of human scale, natural light, materials/texture, the flow of experience such as flow of space, intermediate/transition spaces, the variation and hierarchy of spaces, inside/outside relationship, manipulation of light, texture & materiality and scale & proportion. Visitors should be inspired and informed in ways that somehow express the spirit of place.
