Design Studio 4 Project 2

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:

• 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.
