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 small space within an open area applying ideas of environmental
sustainability in architectural design. The structure should provide both a shelter and suitable environment for users.
Objectives
- To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design.
- To develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:
1. Apply ideas of environmental sustainability in design
2. Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural
context and existing built context which impact on users’ experiences
3. Combine the environmental needs, the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), and the users’
experiences within simple building design in the open landscape/suburban context.
4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural
design and ideas based on clustered spatial typology.
Project 2: Nature Appreciation Center
This project calls for a design of a simple public building with some complexity that includes the complexity of site topography and vegetation, socio-cultural events, and variety of strategies for sustainable design. It explores design solutions that harness environmental qualities and conditions for human and environment sustainability through a project with a specific community of users. Students explore design solutions that reduce environmental impact utilising clustered spatial typology and passive design approach. The design work should contribute to and merge
harmoniously with nature and the site, and provide the best of experiences for the users.
Objectives
- To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design.
- To develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as
make poetry with the buildings.
