Architectural Design Studio 5 [ARC 3118]

Project 1: Preliminaries Studies

Learning Outcomes

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 market-place 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

Learning Outcomes

1. Produce a design outcome for an urban contemporary market-place 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 market-place 

programming 

3. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge and awareness of design codes and regulations 

4. Design within the constraints of feasibility and in response to basic design codes and statutory requirements 

5. Utilize 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.

Architecture Design Studio 4 [ARC 2128]

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:
1. Apply ideas of environmental sustainability in design
2. Design and create  architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural  context and existing built context which impact on users’ experiences
3. 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.
4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas based on clustered spatial typology
