Cultural History as Architecture - Visceral Board
Landscape In/To Architecture Structure as Architecture
Environment as Architecture

Workshop 1 - Cultural History as Architecture - Visceral Board
1. To identify the Genius Loci, key character, essence of the site.
2. To extract the tangible and intangible elements of the site history and/or cultural history through visuals, diagrams and sketches. 3. To map out and transform the tangible and intangible elements that extracted from the site into a visual narrative.
4. To convey findings and interpretations via visual and written narrative

Workshop 2 -Landscape In/To Architecture
1. To understand contextual at macro and micro level.
2. To understand context at micro level by exploration, creating solutions /suggestions etc
3. To understand why/ how landscape connection is crucial to the built structure and built environment, in addition to understand scale, spatial, form, materiality relationships.
4. To analyse given site data and respond to it
5. To produce a meaningful site plan with site context

Workshop 3 -Structure as Architecture
1. To integrate basic structural concept/ system into the design scheme
2. To translate structural ideas into physical development models
3. To apply structural system to design concept
4. To produce structural concept diagram

Workshop 4 -Environment as Architecture
1. To understand the environmental aspects of the site to create the design strategy for the building concept.
2. To apply passive design strategies to design concept
3. To produce climatic response diagram/s

Reflection

This semester was different from last semester where there are more workshops and lesser projects, I’m glad that I could focus more on one project with the same topic given rather than a few which was like the last semester. . I liked the idea of workshops that slowly introduced us to the topic step-by-step, starting from understanding the proposed site, then the site responses. continue with basic structural system and lastly materials and environmental sustainability, which I feel is very crucial in my learning curve. I had fun learning and to get the feedbacks from lecturer and tutors, I believe that this way will drastically improve absorption of information and the passion to learn because it is easier for us to digest chunks by chunks rather than a bulk of informations.
