Architectural Design IV
Module coordinator: Mr. Nazmi Anuar
Tutor: Ar. Shahira Sharuddin
Themed “engaging environment and community”, studio iv explores design by harnessing environmental qualities and conditions for human and environment sustainability. There are 3 projects completed throughout the semester, revolving around a specific community of users within a given context.
Project 1a:
Site Analysis and Design Response
P3KU Urban Farm
In assigned tutorial groups, students will conduct site visit to identify the physical as well as the intangible qualities that shape the character of the site. Engagement with site users will establish the needs of the community at site. As the Design Response of the Site Analysis stage, students will work with their tutorial group to draw up a new plan for the demarcated site area through the design of a Kebun Komuniti Plan.
Project 1b:
Architectural Allotment
Project 1b deals with the understanding of materiality in relation to user experience in the Kebun Komuniti Plan. We are to showcase architectural form as a construct of materiality for a proposed set of activities related to the cultivation of plants. The exploration of themes centred around the cultivation of plants together with requirement for seating, shading and storage.
Project 2:
P3KU Kebun Komuniti Center
The project calls for the design of a P3KU Kebun Komuniti Center within the suburban neighbourhood of USJ18. We are are required to provide full design proposals incorporating findings from site analysis and precedent studies. Students will generate narratives that respond to the environment and community within the given context and explore environmental poetics of building enclosure’s design solutions that reduce environmental impact utilizing various complex typologies of spatial organisations and a variety of passive strategies for sustainable design. The design should contribute to and merge harmoniously with environment and site and provide the best of spatial experiences in fostering a sense of community
