Project 1

Task:
​
Explore architectural design through the abstraction of 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional
composition of space.
​Conduct background research on the assigned architect and their selected
key building and to produce a complete set of architectural drawings (scale 1:50). The drawings
shall be hand drawn on A3 landscape format and carefully rendered.

3. You are then required to investigate and analyse the key building through the drawings (i.e.
floor plan, sections, elevations etc). Your analysis should be focusing on the following criterias
only:

• MAIN DESIGN INTENTIONS / DESIGN ETHOS
• CONTEXT – Tropical settings, weather, natural lighting & ventilation
• SPACE PLANNING (organization & relationship) - centralized, interlocking
• CIRCULATION & ZONING – spiral, linear, radial / private, semi-private
• STRUCTURE – grid, rhythm

and how these intentions are translated via diagramming architectural principles.
Based on your analysis, formulate your findings into a set of 5 analysis diagrams
and 5 diagrammatic models. The diagrams and models should be precise and
informative to express the analysis of the ideas hidden in the key building.
