Project 1: A Preliminary Studies 

Objectives:

 

1. To have an overview of the formation of cities and introduce basic concepts of urban design in relation to architectural design

2. To introduce and implement basic methodologies of urban studies

3. To investigate the role of co-working spaces in traditional and contemporary urban societies

4. To examine various examples and architectural responses for urban design.

Learning Outcomes:

 

1. Analyze the site character and identify conditions of the urban streetscape and urban behavioural patterns

2. Analyze case studies to gain understanding of architectural response for urban sites and for spatial programming to inform the design project

3. 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

​

1. Based on your proposed sketch design, consider and include expanded aspects of design development in tandem with the design of spaces, e.g. regulatory requirements, fire safety, materials, construction, sustainability, feasibility and other relevant considerations, wherever possible, integrating their development to produce a richer, more multi-layered design.

2. Develop a selected portion of your design for technological development and resolution.

3. Integrate environmental strategies into your design

​

Students are expected to come up with final detailed design presentation and a comprehensive final executive report.
