ASIAN ARCHITECTURE

PROJECT 1:

This project is driven by Architectural Design Studio 4, as an approach to support students’ design through extensive research within the framework of sustainability design in Asia. The sustainability design framework focuses on the building assigned for site visit, with research objectives defined through in-depth literature review, leading to a well-established case study paper structure and writing.
Assessments involve oral presentation and a written paper of 3,000 to a maximum of 4000 words. The final topic of the paper should be evolved in discussion and consultation with the tutors and should be finalised by the fifth week of the course. Students will present the summary of the paper with images in class – which contains an outline of the paper covering issues and themes explored, as well as a bibliography.

PROJECT 2:AN ASIAN STREET

Every street in a city has its unique characteristics which can be identified from its function, urban fabric and history. Some streets may constitute rich heritage values which reflect the local culture of a particular community; some of them may be utilized mainly to serve the livelihood of a local community by catering to various economical activities; some may be well developed with modern facilities, as a result of vast urban development.
Every city in Asia has its own unique characteristics, due to the different ways of life of its dwellers. The appearance of the streets today may have changed in the past decades due to modernisation and globalisation, which in turn may have changed the way of life of its community.
This project will involve the study of STREETS in an Asian city to understand the historical and social aspects of a city by examining the development of tradition, modernization and globalization of streets.
Students are required to visit a designated area of streets in an Asian city and present observations in a series of photography work and written essay.

SHAPE GRAMMAR

INDIVIDUAL EXERCISES Based on shape rules taught in class,we were asked to complete a batch of exercises to show our understanding of the rules learnt. PROJECT 1 This is a group project where each group is required to find a natural or man-made element surrounding them that they believe having some underlying design principles. Then, facilitated by the tutor the group should analyse the design principles and translate them into shape rules. Next, the group shall use the newly established rules to create new and original façade designs for any chosen block in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. Form a group of 2 students. Each group is required to find a natural or man-made element from actual observations, books or internet which they believe having certain underlying design principles or rules. This could be identified especially if the element has some repetitive components, gradual enlargement or reduction in scale, gradual rotation, or other predictable ...

MEASURED DRAWINGS-KUALA LUMPUR TEXTILE MUSEUM

Image
TASK: We were assigned to measure and document a historical / heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings,and a model. Along with the drawings and model,an analysis report and photobook were to be submitted too,in order to complete the project.For the presentation,a website and video were also required. Along with the measured data and recordings,we had to individually produce 20 sketches of the building.The sketches were to show physical and intangible qualities and characteristics of the building. REFLECTIONS: Completing this assignment helped me to undertake the responsibility of producing accurate drawings which could be used in the future. It aided in using the most appropriate method of architectural historic documentation and helped me recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation.I learnt to explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements as well as interpret historic architectural element, structure and b...
