ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 4

Overview:

Architectural Design IV focuses on harnessing environmental attributes and conditions through a project with a particular group of users inside a specific setting for human and environmental sustainability. Precedent studies on design projects that are sensitive to environmental conditions and sustainability issues are part of the projects.

Project 1: Disability Exeprience Pavilion

Demonstrates how architectural design is influenced by material use and raises awareness of environmental sustainability in connection to user demands and the activities involved. It deals with the understanding of material poetics in relation to user experience.

As a trio, design a straightforward structure—a pavilion, folly, playscape, relief, or architectural installation—as a "Disabilities Experience Pavilion" that will function as a constrained recreation area for disabled persons in an imagined park.

Project 2A: Masterplan

It was suggested that we go to Kepong Botanical Garden. We must gather site-specific facts and information. Along with the physical inventory, we also list the immaterial characteristics that contribute to the website's personality in the designated tutorial categories. Following the Site Analysis, students will work with their tutorial group to create a Wellness Masterplan, which will lay the groundwork for our Project 2: Wellness Center PLUS, in order to reorganise the designated site area, the Wellness Zone.

Project 2B: Wellness Centre PLUS

A Wellness Center PLUS is to be built as part of Project 2 within the Kepong Botanical Gardens, which abuts the Taman Ehsan suburban neighbourhood. Complete design concepts incorporating information from site analysis and precedent research must be submitted by students. Along with investigating the environmental poetics of building enclosure design solutions that lessen environmental impact through the use of various complex typologies of spatial organisations and a variety of passive strategies for sustainable design, students will develop narratives that respond to the environment and community as a user group within the given context. The design should enhance and complement the surroundings and the location, and it should offer the best spatial experiences for building a feeling of community. The application of the knowledge they learned in the Architecture and Environment module must be shown by the students.
