Studio

Architecture Design Studio 5 focuses on urban study which carry the knowledge of current urban design. It aims to explore and design the community library for the society on the entire site. Students will have to begin with preliminary studies as an introduction of learning the context of the site and analyse it . After that, student need to developed with a design of community library for the street and take into the consideration of the previous analysis.

Project 1 : Preliminary Studies

TASK:
Site Analysis
The purpose of the Site Analysis is to observe and record the site’s current condition, and to collect additional information to be used in the initial design conceptualization and strategy phase.
Key concepts and themes to be discussed in relation to the analysis include: Way-finding (5 Lynchian Principles), Typology and Morphology, Figure/Ground Mapping, Patterns of Movement and Use, Human Behaviour, Street Culture

LEARNING OUTCOME:
1. Conduct case studies and site analysis to generate an understanding of the physical and cultural context and development of urban environments
2. Determine and describe the role of a community library in a contemporary urban setting
3. Examine and establish appropriate architectural responses and strategies for designing within an urban infill site
4. Produce necessary documentation (diagrams, mappings, photographic images, orthographic drawings and models) to record and communicate site analysis findings, and for further use in the coming design stages

Project 2 : Urban Infill Library @ Sentul

Learning Outcomes:

• Learnt to design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context.
• Gained better understanding about spatial planning for a public building.
• Able to generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with various considerations.
• Able to incorporate larger context into designing.
