For the entire semester, students will concentrate on designing a contemporary market-place within an urban infill site. The design of the building is to consist of appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban street context and user behavioural patterns as discerned and analysed in the Preliminary Studies.

Apart from developing an appropriate formal and elevational strategy in response to the character of the street, the design should take into consideration a holistic application of structural, spatial, functional and environmental requirements to address the user needs for an urban market-place. The design development of this project will include an introduction to the legislative restrictions that impact an architectural scheme, the integration of lighting and acoustic design, as well as the design exploration and detailing of the façade and building envelopes that is coherent with the architectural language of the overall design project.

The objectives of this assignment are as follows:
  1. To take into consideration key aspects of urban design and context in relation to architecture
  2. To develop an awareness and basic compliance to Design Codes and Statutory Requirements
  3. To emphasize the importance of elevational context and composition in developing architectural design
  4. To implement and explore the conceptual, schematic and design development phases in an architectural design project

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

1.       Produce a design outcome for an urban contemporary market-place is site-specific through its formal, cultural, legislative, structural and environmental design responses
2.       Apply basic knowledge of urban architectural typologies, infill design strategies and market-place programming
3.       Demonstrate fundamental knowledge and awareness of design codes and regulations
4.       Design within the constraints of feasibility and in response to basic design codes and statutory requirements
5.       Utilise study models, diagramming, mapping, orthographic plan-section and elevational studies to explore and resolve relevant spatial, structural, functional and environmental issues in the design development phase
6.       Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually communicate architectural ideas and scheme.



Project Requirements and Design Stages, Objectives and Outcomes
The scheme for a contemporary urban market-place should strictly span a total floor area of between 1000m2 -1200m2 , and comprise between 3-5 storeys only within its infill lot.

Sufficient floor area must be allocated for the design of a public realm, circulation and ancillary functions (i.e. loading/unloading bays, ingress and egress, refuse circulation, collection and storage) that is required for a market-place of this scale and type.
Following are the space allocation within the proposal
Retail Space                           60%
Urban Realm                          20%
Services and circulation         20%

The design scheme must also take into consideration the appropriate building setbacks and basic fire requirements (i.e. escape distances, stairs and shaft).

SHAPE GRAMMAR

Image
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...

ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE

PROJECT 1 The first outcome of the project will be an A3 sized illustrative chronology poster of Islamic Architecture that interprets the Islamic architectural language and the unifying and diversifying principles of Islamic architecture influences to the architectural development of the Southeast Asia countries in general and Malaysia in particular. a. The Seven Unifying principles of Islamic architecture: viii. Architecture as Tawhid: Unity & Uniquity of Allah) ix. Architecture of Ihtiram: Respect x. Architecture with Ikhlas: Sincerity xi. Architecture as Pursuit of ‘Ilm: Knowledge xii. Architecture for Iqtisad: Balance xiii. Architecture of Haya’: Modesty xiv. Architecture as Dikr: Remembrance b. The Diversifying principle of Islamic Architecture: i. Architectural principle of ‘Urf REFLECTIONS: Thie project enabled me to study the Islamic principles of architecture,and to understand the architecture of Mosques in South East Asia.
