Introduction

Architecture Design I

Architectural Design I is structured as an introduction to architectural design. This preliminary design module aims to present and explain design through the expression of the perception of ‘self’ and the body, construction, and materiality in terms of tectonics. Students will undertake a series of studio-based exercises and assignments that introduces the fundamental methods, principles and approaches in design thinking and basic spatial design. This will be enhanced with understanding of anthropometrics and designing intrapersonal space with creative exercise involving the body movements and experiences of the user.

PROJECT 3

In project 3, we will look back our shading structure in previous project and further develop it to a Sensory Space, with to anticipate and accommodate users’ needs and emotions. Our sensitivity to the articulation and mastery of spatial experience should ignite a sensorial experience for ourselves as a first-year student in university. We will have to produce scaled models and final drawings as our submission. Few materials are proposed which we will have to choose 2 to 3 materials from the list.
