Architecture Design Project ( Studio 6)
This capstone project is based on the theme of architecture with a social impact and the resolution and integration of technology, environment and cultural context in architectural design. Progressing from the urban issues of urban street environment, the design studio extends srame>tudents development of architectural position and design brief in proposing strategy to resolving social issues pertinent within the conditions of the urban landscape (for example, elderly, neglected communities, school, youth center, woman empowerment, skills training center and others). Located in an urban area, students are to further develop the site through and area chosen by their design supervisors, in which it will address the social needs of a particular urban place and provide interaction and connection of people in the urban spaces. Subsequently students are to produce detailed design of a selected portion of the scheme. The design work is to be supported by a comprehensive design report. The module is integrated with Building Technology 2 wherein, design shall consider the structure and construction of the building, use of the most appropriate structural building and apply considerations of building services, utilities and system.
Project 1A
The first project of this module require students to work in a group to conduct a site survey, study and prepare site analysis with design brief.
Project 1C
This project involves the creation of the design proposal in which is used to drive and lead the students into the final design for the project. The final design should demonstrate student’s ability to integrate considerations for technology environment and cultural context through a finalized architectural design. As degree graduating students, the work is expected to have a structural sense (buildability), maturity (considering by laws and regulations), exploration (creative use of materials and space) and workability (a well referenced spatial organization & planning)
