ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROJECT
This studio forms the culmination of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Architecture programme. This capstone project is based on the theme ‘architecture with an impact’ and the formulation of an architectural intervention that embodies sensitivity in the meditation between architecture and socio-cultural needs, the designs of internal spaces, and the demands of the external constraints. Progressing from the previous studio where it focused on urban streets, this semester, aims to empower the urban fabric by focusing on the needs and aspirations of the place and its people in relation to the current times. The project focuses on real-life and relevant issues which allow students to not only understand but immerse themselves in the significance of their design approaches. Hence, learn the impact of their work on social, cultural, and environmental aspects.
1A- Pre-design Studies & Analysis (Group/Studio) - 10%
In this phase, students in groups are to investigate, study and analyze the site to understand
valuable components before designing. The study will enable students to gain familiarity with
the site. To be immersed by 'sensing the city' 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 align to the project typology & parameters.
Project 1b & 1c
Final Design Presentation and Final Design Report - 70%
Progressing from the pre-final design review, students are to work on the feedback and work on to fully resolve the design. As the final stage, the design should strongly demonstrate the student’s ability to exhibit design flair and technical competence
