DESIGN STUDIO lI

ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 2

by Ar Nani

Architecture Design Studio 2 introduces the principles and methods of analysis, abstraction, and synthesis in design thinking that are common in architecture field. The key emphasis of the studio is “User and Context”, which investigates the relationship between user and natural environment. In studio 2, we have an investigation of the architectural spaces through prototype studies, exploration of form and space through architectural conceptualization and finally design a weekend lodging that meets user requirements and engages with the site context.

Learning Outcomes

1. Generate design possibilities through the use of architectonics in a simple architectural form space and function

2. Explore architectural design through the abstraction of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional compositions of space

3. Interpret and analyze simple site context, client’s character and needs in relation to the design of a small building

4. Translate design ideas into habitable architectural spaces through drawing and making

5. Design a simple building type that meets user requirements and respects site context that balances both internal and external design values

PROJECT 1- FAMOUS ARCHITECTS & FABULOUS HOUSES

14th Sep 2017

The first project of design studio 2 is to investigate and make analysis on the architectural elements such as lines, shapes and forms on the building that is assigned to us.

In this project, I am grouped with Kelvin Douglas, Ranjeev, Sarah Wasim, Alla and Ali. The building assigned for us is the Soi Wat Umong House, by a famous architect in Thailand.

We are asked to study the buildings and come out with diagrammatic diagrams and models. This project helps us a lot in upcoming projects as we are able to make analysis to the architectural elements and understand the factors that affect the design.

PROJECT 2 - GAZEBO

23rd Oct 2017

In a group of 4, we are required to design a gazebo which correspond to the site given. The site given to us is Taman Tugu Kuala Lumpur. Before we came out with the design concept, we pay a visit to Taman Tugu Negara and analyse the site.

PROJECT 3- WEEKEND LODGING

5th Dec 2017

For the the final project 3, we are given a site, KL Eco Forest Park as project 2 and we are required to design a weekend lodging for the users. At first we as a huge group of people were assigned to do a site analysis about the site and we students were divided into 2 groups whereby each groups got thier own site which is site 1 and site 2. I was given site 2 and I have came out with the concept " Urbanite should appreeaciate the forest by realising how important a tree in humans life and also human are important to forest by providing carbon dioxide in my weekend lodging as I realized there are a lot of trees in my chose site. By doing this project, I am able to understand the user specific design requirements and space, form and function in architectural design.
