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.

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.
