Design Strategies & Exploration
Introduction
In this stage and upon clearly understanding the 3P: people, place and project, the focus will swift to the design of the architecture. A progression of exportation to the project proposal was taken individually to translate our own view to the place and start develop our own design intention and concept from the proposal into multiple angles and possibilities, looking carefully into the functionality, effectivity, spatial quality, and form composition.
The design exploration is to represent the designer’s inquisitive nature and attitude through a series of schemes to analyze, test and challenge the ideas.
Aim
The Project emphasizes on ‘Sensing the City’ by immersing to people’s and place’s needs and aspirations. To design an Urban Room/City Hub which will become the city’s ‘Third Place’. The project hopes to create design which aligns to UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, SDG10 Which seeks to reduce inequalities in the society and inclusive for all. and SDG11 which emphasizes on how architecture can create changes by designing more sustainable cities and communities
Objectives
To explore brief which will inform and set the design parameters for the design.
To develop a design strategy (to the level of explorative design phase) for your proposed project.
To produce a design which is well explored and optimized to an appropriate resolutio
A full exploration of the design is to be presented and represented in a series of sketches, study models, diagrams, conceptual/schematic 2D Drawings (floor plans, sections, and elevations) and conceptual 3D drawings (axonometric, perspective, and modelling)
Within the proposed Spatial Required Design Guidelines
Internal spaces (1800-2000 m2)
Programme-related spaces (40-50%)
Living Component (5-10%)
Circulation Spaces (30%)
Ancillary Spaces (5-10%)
Others (2-5%)
Outdoor spaces (varies & not included in 1800-2000 m2 calculation)
Basement level (varies & not included in 1800-2000 m2 calculation
