ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116]- Project 1: Journey for the 5 senses

Learning Outcomes

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

Project 1A- PRECEDENT STUDIES: Analysing spatial poetics & spatial typologies in architecture

In this project, we selected Jewish Musuem which is designed by Daniel Libeskind and Musuem of Wood, designed by Tadao Endao as our precendent study. We identified and analysed the spatial poetics & spatial typology of the buildings.

Project 1B- The Journey for the 5 senses

In this project, we proposed 2 schemes for a ‘walk’ themed ‘journey for the 5 senses’. Using a poem entitled A Bed of Clouds by Ashley L. May as an inspiration for our design, we designed a narrative space for a linear type of building. As for concentric space, we designed the walk in the form of a semi-open architecture.
