ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116]

PROJECT 3: GENIUS LOCI: VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE (VIC)

Task 1    SCHEMATIC DESIGN

We need to propose a design scheme which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences.Beside that, we need consolidate initial design ideas and develop it by producing a schematic plan and section, and a study model 1:250. The schematic should respond to the physical site context and functional requirements. Consider and develop the primary circulation of the visitor through your architecture (the route).  Produce spatial model(s) at the scale of 1:250 to illustrate your ideas. We also need to consider about the building science concept into our design.

Task 2    KEY SECTION AND EXPERIENTIAL SPACES

 

After task 1 we need to develop the schematic ideas. Consider the flow of experience: flow of space, intermediate/transition spaces, the variation and hierarchy of spaces, inside/outside relationship, manipulation of light, texture & materiality and scale & proportion. Produce thumbnail sketches/models to illustrate your ideas. Develop your design through the sectional drawing of your architecture. Produce 1 key section 1:50. Produce interior perspectives to illustrate the experiential spaces of your architecture. Visitors should be inspired and informed in ways that somehow express the spirit of place.

Final Presentation Board

I learn a lot in this project which are how to generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context. Beside that, i learnt to  design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materials/texture. Design a small scale community building which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.
