Architectural Design Studio 1

Project 1: Self-Expression through Object

REPRESENTING ME

Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify and abstract theme/ideas of the ‘self’

2. Construct a representational piece of art based on the initial ideas that have been abstracted and redefined through the process of translation and interpretation

Project Summary:

Bird cage in orange represents a warm space that closes me from touching the world, while the flower buds represent myself that’s ingrown. Stepping out from the cage, I carry my backpack and start my journey. From a smooth brick road, a path full of rocks and holes, I face different obstacles and I have to solve them. The world isn’t cold enough, someone may build a bridge for me. But who knows? Thorn may gonna hurt you! Not to say that the fire can burn my steps. However, when I pass through all of these, I can continue my journey with my own brand and a beautiful grown flower.

Project 2: Self-Expression through Architectural Space

ME IN SPACE

Learning Outcomes:

1. Be able to identify and articulate basic design principles in spatial organization

2. Be able to distinguish and discern the role of scale and proportion in the relationship between the human body and a designed space or enclosure

3. Design and produce a space that embodies and expresses an idea or conceptual narrative

Project 3: Space for the Self

MY CITY DREAMSPACE

Learning Outcomes:

1. Design and produce a space that embodies and expresses an idea or conceptual narrative

2. Be able to distinguish and discern the role of scale and proportion in the relationship between the human body and a designed space or enclosure

3. Be able to identify, articulate and apply basic design principles in spatial organization and relationships

4. Be able to select and apply materials to embody and enhance the sensory experience of the space

5. Be able to create, articulate and illustrate the poetics of spatial quality

Design Communication

Project 1 (A): On-site Sketching

Learning Outcomes:

1.To understand the notion of space in architecture.

2.To develop skills in visualizing of space through observation and perception of a given site

3.To develop skills in sketching as a mode of communication

Project 1 (B): Tonal Values

Learning Outcomes:

1.To understand the notion of space in architecture.

2.To develop skills in communicating the above in various tonal and depth values.

3.To develop various techniques of hatching through different medium

Project 2 (A): Orthographic projections: plans, sections, elevations

Learning Outcomes:

1.Demonstrate drafting skills in modern and traditional methods of architectural drawing.

2.Record and present clear and legible architectural information manually.

3.Identify and apply architectural conventions and symbols.

4.Demonstrate in pencil and ink examples of:

    •line types

    •line weights

    •line quality

    •hand lettering

Project 2 (B): Axonometric projection

Learning Outcomes:

1. Ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of an axonometric projection.

2. Understanding of what axonometric projections are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the design process and presentation.

3. Ability to produce legible architectural drawings.

Project 2 (C): Perspectives

Learning Outcomes:

1. Ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of one point and two-point perspectives.

2. Understanding of what perspectives (and its different types) are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the design process and presentation.

3. Ability to produce legible architectural drawings with strong creative intent.

Architecture History and Culture

Project: Precedent Study 
Learning outcomes

1. Recognize and recall appropriate verbal architectural vocabulary when referring to building types, styles and periods.

2. Exemplify the sequence of historical periods and how they are represented architecturally.

3. Classify the sequence of historical periods and how they are represented architecturally.

4. Produce building analysis which document intentions, concepts, patterns, disciplines, architectural language and contextual relationships.
