ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116]- Project 1 Genius Loci: Site Analysis & Concept Development

Learning Outcomes

• Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context and the ‘genius loci’ of place
• 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.
