Assignments
These are the assignments I had for AD2...
01
DIAGRAMMING ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES
The first assignment, you are required to ‘learn from precedents’ by analysing their design objectives and principles, not limited to site and contextual approaches but also exploration of solids, planes, lines and frames in architectural design. Emphasis is given to the elements of architecture and architectonics that generate architectural form and space, produced by drawing and making. Your task is to investigate how spaces are created from the making of architectural and constructional elements: architectonics.
02
DESIGNING WITH ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES AND MATERIALITY
The second assignment will challenge you to explore your conceptual and operational procedures in order to produce a significant gesture of architectural space(s). You need to select architectural principle(s) from the first assignment. This architectural principle(s) that you have selected will need you to define them. Your task is to explore the potential meanings and implications of this architectural principle(s) in the sense that they will inform two areas; generating forms and crafting spaces
03
DESIGNING WITH ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES, MATERIALITY, CONTEXT AND USER
This final project requires you to further explore and integrate the design idea and construction method of the previous assignment into a more complex program. You are required to define a proposition for a small freestanding structure in relation to the natural landscape. Emphasis is given to the interpretation and synthesis of the user, site and function in architectural design. The design of this structure must demonstrate your application of architectural objectives and principles, materiality, constructability and the context in creating a memorable spatial experience for the user.
