" Whatever good things we build end up building us"
ASSIGNMENT 1 -
GEOMETRY & FORM
TASK
With the title Expressions through Architecture Design Elements and Principles, this project aims to introduce a basic understanding of architectural design elements and principles, processes, and approaches in generating ideas, developing design, creating geometric 2D artworks (tattoo stamp), and transforming them into 3D form (model).
​
Working closely with our tutor Mr Yoong and exchanging ideas and opinions in a robust process via a series of workshops will be the focus of our group. The design journey shall be prepared by including drawings, models, and sketches. This project is to exhibit our understanding of the design process and use of architectural design elements, design principles, and form transformation techniques.
ASSIGNMENT 2 -
STRUCTURE & BODY
TASK
In this assignment, I have to work with a variety of materials to get a better understanding of their nature and features, as well as how they'll be employed in the design. I am also required to create a self-isolation system and demonstrate my personal behaviour during the pandemic. In the process of building our model, pay the necessary attention to the construction details, joinery, and structural quality, as well as how the chosen materials interact. The next phase is to create a structure by combining design intention (from Project 1) with anthropometry and ergonomics.
Utilising a series of lessons, experiments, and investigations involving mock ups made of selected materials, studying architectural components and concepts with anthropometry and ergonomics to come up with a one-to-one model.
ASSIGNMENT 3 -
SPACE & SENSORY
TASK
In this assignment I am obligated to create a tectonic structure for myrself and choose a strong feeling. I'm also required to consider the features and principles from Project 2 as my design intention.
I'm also required to conduct a research on material study thoroughly and make sure it's directly related to the design intention. It is a must to investigate spatial relationships in order to convey the essence and poetry of own intent.
Using a combination of all of the above, I have to develop proposal for generating sensory experience notions.In a nutshell, it is essential to utilise all the knowledge I gained from both go my previous assignments to produce a sensory experience notion.
