Project 1 : Preliminary Studies
​
Objectives of Project:
1. To have an overview of the formation of cities and introduce basic concepts of urban design in relation to architectural design
2. To introduce and implement basic methodologies of urban studies
3. To investigate the role of community libraries in traditional and contemporary urban societies
4. To examine various examples and architectural responses for urban infills
​
​
Learning Outcomes of this Project :
1. Conduct case studies and site analysis to generate an understanding of the physical and
cultural context and development of urban environments
2. Determine and describe the role of a community library in a contemporary urban setting
3. Examine and establish appropriate architectural responses and strategies for designing within
an urban infill site
4. Produce necessary documentation (diagrams, mappings, photographic images, orthographic
drawings and models) to record and communicate site analysis findings, and for further use in
the coming design stages
Project 2 : Final Project, community library
​
Objectives of Project:
​
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 of this Project :
​
1. Produce a design outcome for a community library that 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 community library programming
3. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge and awareness of local 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.
