ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 5 [ARC 3117] - Final Project

Learning Outcomes

1. Produce a design outcome for an urban contemporary market-place is site-specific through its formal, cultural, legislative, structural and environmental design responses
2. Apply basic knowledge of urban architectural typologies, infill design strategies and market-place programming
3. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge and awareness of design codes and regulations
4. Design within the constraints of feasibility and in response to basic design codes and statutory requirements
5. Utilise study models, diagramming, mapping, orthographic plan-section and elevational studies to explore and resolve relevant spatial, structural, functional and environmental issues in the design development phase
6. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually communicate architectural ideas and scheme.

  For this project, I designed a vocational training based culinary market which is a contemporary market-place within an urban infill site in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. The design of the building is to consist of appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban street context and user behavioural patterns as discerned and analysed in the Preliminary Studies.

  Apart from developing an appropriate formal and elevational strategy in response to the character of
the street, a holistic application of structural, spatial, functional and environmental requirements was taken into consideration to address the user needs for an urban market-place.

  The design development of this project includes an introduction to the legislative restrictions that impact an architectural scheme, the integration of lighting and acoustic design, as well as the design
exploration and detailing of the façade and building envelopes that is coherent with the architectural
language of the overall design project.
