Project 01 B :
Design Strategies and Exploration
In this stage and upon clearly understanding the 3P: people, place and project, the focus will swift to the design of the architecture. Under the guidance and studio direction of my Tutor Mr. JAS. A progression of exportation to the project proposal was taken individually to translate our own view to the place and start develop our own design intention and concept from the proposal into multiple angles and possibilities, looking carefully into the functionality, effectivity, spatial quality, and form composition.
The design exploration is to represent the designer’s inquisitive nature and attitude through a series of schemes to analyze, test and challenge the ideas.
Aim:
The Project emphasizes on ‘Sensing the City’ by immersing to people’s and place’s needs and aspirations. To design an Urban Room/City Hub which will become the city’s ‘Third Place’. The project hopes to create design which aligns to UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, SDG10 Which seeks to reduce inequalities in the society and inclusive for all. and SDG11 which emphasizes on how architecture can create changes by designing more sustainable cities and communities
Objectives:
-
To explore brief which will inform and set the design parameters for the design.
-
To develop a design strategy (to the level of explorative design phase) for your proposed project.
-
To produce a design which is well explored and optimized to an appropriate resolutio
A full exploration of the design is to be presented and represented in a series of sketches, study models, diagrams, conceptual/schematic 2D Drawings (floor plans, sections, and elevations) and conceptual 3D drawings (axonometric, perspective, and modelling)
Within the proposed Spatial Required Design Guidelines
-
Internal spaces (1800-2000 m2)
-
Programme-related spaces (40-50%)
-
Living Component (5-10%)
-
Circulation Spaces (30%)
-
Ancillary Spaces (5-10%)
-
Others (2-5%)
-
-
Outdoor spaces (varies & not included in 1800-2000 m2 calculation)
-
Basement level (varies & not included in 1800-2000 m2 calculation
The process of design starts with exploration but ends with refinement. The best designers carefully move from one idea to the other, making sure they spend enough time exploring before locking themselves into a final design. –Jared Spoo
"Sketch More" Ar. Jas.
That Mr. Jas's style. In this semester, I rarely using Digital to do my diagram as what he say is every single sketches u make there is always a though, no matter how massive it is, Sketch and refine it until u get what u really want before put it into digital.
Cultural Come From Human,
Human Carrying Culture.
From the exploration, I swift my target to Peranakan Malacca as knowing form the president of Peranakan Baba Nyonya Malaysia this Minority population getting scattered in Malacca while their culture being dilute as all the practice that they made less practice by the young generation and this unique culture of this special breed will be gone.
Hence, by this mood I think they will need this Community hub to gather back the vitality of them to this space more than other community by hosting my building and spreading their intangible cultural practice to all the young and foreigners that travel to Malacca. Meanwhile, they can involve themselves into the daily life of Peranakan to experience the real culture
Essay Report
Every single thinking, strategies, and responses were documented into an essay report.
However, this might said as an design journal for me to keep me in the right track toward my design intention. This record everything I done for this project and ensuring everything go in a right way.
and to be refine......
Reflection
Continuing from the previous project analysis and project proposal. This assignment is a progressing assignment to letting us to develop out our own design intention and concept from the proposal and letting us go into more detailed study to the site.
In this assignment, chances was given for us to explore more after getting familiar with the site from project 1a which is good for me to be more ease and creative in designing to the site by keeping me on the track.
At this point, with great guidance, a better propose architectural design responses and strategies to further justify the position and programme through a series of analytical diagrams and models is much more ease, which I feel ADP module planning is much more mature to allow student to learn more effectively through project in project analysis and studies.
