ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116]- PROJECT 2: GENIUS LOCI: Site Analysis & Concept Development

Learning outcomes

 Identify and explain different spatial types in architecture, and how they inform
spatial use and experience
• Identify and analyze case studies to inform the design project
• Create tectonic expressions of different spatial typologies which impact on the uses
and experiential conditions of space
• Generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with
considerations of human scale, natural light, materiality and textures
• Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to
communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.



In this project, we visited Western Road Christian Cemetery at George Town, Penang to conduct site analysis. In groups, we conducted site analysis of the physical context, social, cultural and/or historical issues within the overall site.

The site analysis was presented digitally, supported by a 20 mins verbal presentation. Then, we produced a 1:250 scale micro-site model.




For individual task, a personal interpretation of the site was produced in the form of sketches from the information gathered in groups via Assignment 2a. The personal interpretations of the overall character of the site informed subsequent concept development. Conclusion was made by identifying the key characters of place that formed inspiration in the design. The design concept was presented in the form of drawings & a model.
