STUDIO 4


Introduction

Project 1
 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. Students are required to design a small space within an open area applying ideas of environmental
sustainability in architectural design. The structure should provide both a shelter and suitable environment for users.

Project brief

The green info-shelter to be based on the following requirements:
1) Volume 3m x 3m x 3m
2) To serve the main purpose of providing info on events and activities in CODA & SABD
3) To provide shelter for students waiting for pick up (5 max)
4) Minimal area for storage/ services

There is no restriction on structure design or materials to used nor budget constraints other than the unit shall be practical, useful and
manageable in terms of its operations and upkeep. The work must respond to the features of a project which commensurate and meet with
those qualities and criteria exemplified in the green building index.
Project must demonstrate sound construction and good understanding of building economics. Responses to the site and existing context
and access requirements are essential criteria and consideration in the design.







PROJECT 2

Tasks

Pre-Design (Design Analysis)
1. Understanding the site: A thorough site investigation and analysis is required to inform students of design decision.
2. Understanding the brief: Identify and research the user needs
3. Based on the site and user needs, brainstorm ideas for exploration of the communal space.

Schematic Design (Problem Solving)
1. Conceptual thinking
2. Develop sketch plan and section to respond to environmental and user needs

Design Development (Resolving Design)
1. Develop interior poetics (inside/outside relationship) by taking into account interaction between environment and architectural space/form.

This project calls for a design of a simple public building with some complexity that includes the complexity of site topography
and vegetation, socio-cultural events, and variety of strategies for sustainable design.
It explores design solutions that harness environmental qualities and conditions for human and environment sustainability
through a project with a specific community of users. Students explore design solutions that reduce environmental impact
utilising clustered spatial typology and passive design approach. The design work should contribute to and merge
harmoniously with nature and the site, and provide the best of experiences for the users.

Objectives
 To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design.
 To develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings.


Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:
1. Apply ideas of environmental sustainability in design
2. Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural
context and existing built context which impact on users’ experiences
3. Combine the environmental needs, the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), and the users’
experiences within simple building design in the open landscape/suburban context.
4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural
design and ideas based on clustered spatial typology.
