Pre-Design Studies & Analysis
Introduction
Architecture Design Project started with a studies and analysis on the site in each tutorial group. This studies will focus on investigating basic notion of the city, the condition of the site, collecting data and voice from the local, analysis their needs and potential opportunities design approach to the site.
The study will enable students to gain familiarity with the site. To be immersed by 'sensing the place' allowing each to look into the current conditions of the site and relate it to the target user and objectives of the project. Hence, developing the most appropriate strategy and programme for it.
In this phase, students in a group are expected to:
To conduct a comprehensive investigation and study of the site using and townscape appraisal checklist for site investigation thru observation, research, surveys, and interviews.
To use references to understand and analyze the site and context in a more in-depth manner. Apply learnings from relevant readers, such as ‘Life between buildings using public space, legibility analysis extracted from Responsive Environments, Cities for People, How to Study Public Life, New City Spaces, Soft City,
To look into precedents: relevant projects and buildings that provide a better understanding of the project and program-relevant ideas.
To define the programme(s) suitable for the project and analyze the impact of it.
The Project Aimed for:
Develop a short yet concise and comprehensive studies on site aligning it to the theme of architecture with an impact, align to the needs of people, place, and time.
Conduct pre-design studies and analysis to inform the design project.
At the very first stage of this project a site visit conducted, data collected and documented in a CDE so everyone of us able to access to every single information of the site.
