Architecture Design Studio 4

For Project One, we were paired in groups to create a Green Info Shelter. Locating at a site selected in Taylor Lakeside Campus. This assignment explores the environmental poetics of a structure that respond to the basic natural context such as the sun, wind, heat, cold, energy issue, and the existing context.

In Project Two, we were brought to Belum Rainforest Resort, Pulau Banding Resort. Where we were to conduct a site analysis together with our course mates and construct a site model of the resort to the scale of 1:200.

Given Site

With the given site, we assigned to design a Nature Appreciation Center, individually. Encouraging us to explores design solutions that harness environmental qualities and conditions for human and environment sustainability through a project with a specific community of users.

Architecture Technique

For our Project One, we were required to research and establish an understanding of a theme that will be used to analyse a selected building. The theme selected by me is Poseidon, the Greek God.

In Project 2, we were ask to choose a building to analyse, using diagrams as a method of having a better understanding of the building chosen in terms of its conception and exploration of key issues or programmatic criteria during the design development process. The building chosen by me is M.H. De Young Museum in San Francisco. Designed by Herzog & De Meuron. 

Whereas in Project 3, we were to combine both project one and two and reconstruct a conceptual architectural model which conveys an interpretation of the building in a creative and communicative manner.
