Architectural Techniques

Introduction
The subject extends on myriad of architectural techniques. Emphasis is given to analysis of design through methods of modeling and analysis/interpretation & diagramming as a way of visual communication. It will enhance the analytical skills and presentation skills of students in the architectural design modules.


Learning Outcome
On successful completion of this project, students will be able to explore multidisciplinary modes of expression and philosophies that relate to the conception of architectural design

Task & Submission
Project 1: 
The aim of project 1 is to research and establish an understanding of a theme, which I've chose 'Slot Canyon' as a tool to modify the narrative and spatial re-modelling for project 2. Analysis is produced using architectural elements including Light&Shadow, Texture, Spatial Form etc. 

Deconstruction of Slot Canyon

Project 2: 
Aqua Tower by Studio Gang is chosen as my case study .The architectural philosophy and design precepts of Aqua Tower is being deconstructed using diagrams.

Deconstruction of Aqua Tower

Project 3: 
Based on the respective analysis carried out on 'Slot Canyon' in project 1 and 'Aqua Tower' in project 2, I then produce a conceptual model which conveys an interpretation of the building a creative and communicative manner.

Reconstruction _ Integration Slot Canyon/Aqua Tower

Roll Presentation

Reflection
Throughout the module, I've expanded my design parameter and skills in deconstruct+reconstruct in a critical manner. Besides, I also gain a lot of knowledge and know many other architectures that mentioned in class which is really eye-opening.

Project _ Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design

Introduction

In project 1, student in a group of 6/7 people to evaluate their environment in terms of lighting and acoustics performances. Each group is required to choose a case study from the list of buildings provided. Prepare a measured drawing with appropriate scale of your case study. Show all the necessary features which effect on the lighting and acoustics conditions of your case study.

They should carry out an appraisal of day-lighting artificial lighting, noise and sound condition(quality and quantity) in the selected case study. Their identification of adequacy of the quantity of light and sound/noise for the case study needed to be carried out objectively

Inproject 2,  individual student is required to incorporate 1A2 for Lighting Integrated Design and 1A2 for Acoustics Integrated Design boards and submit in a clear folder (front/back). Within your building design, you are required to identify spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting and for your acoustic you are required to identify spaces to integrate your external noises and internal noises. Integration must be solution based and you are advised to incorporate visuals, diagrams and renderings using Ecotect or any other environmental design analysis tools in your presentation board(s). Calculations to resolve your design integrations solutions must be attached in A4 and submitted together.

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

• Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to lighting and acoustics.
• Identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics.

Tasks
Project 1: Students in group are to produce 2 board and report showing analysis on Lighting and Acoustic of the building chosen.

Project 2: Student individually are to produce 2 board and report showing analysis on Lighting and Acoustic of the space from their Design Studio IV (Community Library)

Reflection

Throughout the project, I able to work as a group as well as individually to produce a complete documentation on analysis of Acoustic and Lighting of a space. I am now well understanding of performance of lighting and acoustic through the calculation and able to determine the quality of lighting/acoustic performance of one place.
