Architecture Design Project

Architecture with an Impact and the Formulation of an Architectural Intervention

This capstone project is based on the theme ‘architecture with an impact’ and the formulation of an architectural intervention that embodies sensitivity in the meditation between architecture and socio-cultural needs, the designs of internal spaces, and the demands of the external constraints.

​

Designing a building on an empty try site is simple;  placing a building block in a dense urban city is tough. Progressing from the previous studio where it focused on urban streets, this semester, aims to empower the urban fabric by focusing on the needs and aspirations of the place and its people in relation to the current times. The project focuses on real-life and relevant issues which allow students to not only understand but immerse themselves in the significance of their design approaches. Hence, learn the impact of their work on social, cultural, and environmental aspects..

From Previous Semester...

Analyze, Understand and Implement.

Simple 3 step will decide the success of a project as "What we do will remain in the world and serve the community as long as they could"

​

Students are expected to approach the project through multiple layers of exploration, on programmatic, design, and technical levels within the parameters set by the given project. Moreover, each studio is set to a more ‘structured exploration’ having a specific theme and direction. The thematic studio is established based on the tutor’s expertise and students’ interest. Subsequently, students are to produce a well-resolved and explored final design supported by a 15-week development documented in the form of a final design report.
