We are to choose an aspect of the urban site that we are interested in.

Theme Chosen:
Urban veranda: interaction between streets, pedestrian walkways and the shop-fronts (veranda as a place for people to mingle, rest)

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:

Apply ideas of environmental sustainability in design
Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetic in relation to the basic natural context and existing built context which impact on users’ experiences
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.
Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas based on clustered spatial typology.
