We were asked to further develop the studio design project and position in architecture. we should begin with considering a position/topic in architectural design that we would like to explore, guided by our supervisor.

 

Based on that, students are required to conduct and present the following pre-design analysis:

1. Studies of the contextual conditions of our site

2. Studies on our selected user group and building types

3. Studies on precedents that inform the ideas/approach/strategies underlying our design project

 

Based on our pre-design phase, develop a simple design brief that includes: the topic of exploration, the building type, the user group, the schedule of accommodation.

 

Pre-design analysis, is where we will assemble all the parts and pieces of the bigger picture.

1. Reviewing building code and local or city ordinance

2. Initiative on establishing design parameters

3. Take initiative consider and study solar analysis and other site specific analysis

4. Research on precedents or do actual visitation to projects related and directly relevant to the proposal

5. Research on demography, user profile and understanding who we are designing for.

​

Learning Outcomes:

1.  Formulate a simple brief that include appropriate architectural programme and planning within a selected architectural context

2. Analyse case studies to gain understanding of architectural responses and strategies of an intentional design strategy to inform the design project

3. Conduct contextual and user analysis in the pre-design phase
