Project 1_Exploring The Environmental Poetic: Taylor’s “GATEWAY”

Introduction
Project 1 explores the environmental poetics of a structure that respond to the basic natural context such as the sun, wind, heat, cold, energy issue, and the existing context. Students are required to design a structure within an open area applying ideas of environmental sustainability in architectural design. The structure should provide both a shelter and suitable environment for users.

Learning Outcome
On successful completion of this assignment, students will be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Identify and analyze environmental qualities and contextual needs of a site 
  • Apply ideas of environmental sustainability (gained from precedent studies, ESD and Building Science 1) in architectural design
  • Employ particular material and construction technique 

Submission



Reflection

Throughout this project, I learnt to apply space and facilities properly as well as get a deep understanding about Gateway function. 

The design is adapted to its topography as well as climate. We also apply creativity on structure to install out indoor game. Much more important is the respond to site which we can do better like respond to its circulation, activities, surrounding buildings etc.
