ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN VI
[PRJ60408]

This studio forms the culmination of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Architecture programme. This capstone project is based on the theme ‘architecture with an impact’ and the formulation of an architectural intervention that embodies sensitivity in the meditation between architecture and socio-cultural needs, the designs of internal spaces, and the demands of the external constraints. Progressing from the previous studio where it focused on urban streets, this semester, aims to empower the urban fabric by focusing on the needs and aspirations of the place and its people in relation to the current times. The project focuses on real-life and relevant issues which allow students to not only understand but immerse themselves in the significance of their design approaches. Hence, learn the impact of their work on social, cultural, and environmental aspects.

PROJECT 1A
In this phase, students in groups are to investigate, study and analyze the site to understand valuable components before designing. The study will enable students to gain familiarity with the site. To be immersed by 'sensing the place' allowing each to look into the current conditions of the site and relate it to the target user and objectives of the project. Hence, developing the most appropriate strategy and program for it.

PROJECT 1B & 1C

This project focuses on developing a narrative on architectural strategy in response to the relevant questions pertaining to community and its context. The design takes into consideration a holistic application of structural, spatial, functional, and environmental requirements to address the user needs for a Community Center for the Cultural and Creative City. 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 and the overall design project. The objectives of this assignment is to take into consideration key aspects of urban design and context in relation to architecture, to develop an awareness and basic compliance to Design Codes and Statutory requirements, to emphasize the importance of elevational context and composition in developing architectural design, and to implement and explore the conceptual, schematic and design development phases in an architectural design project.
