Architectural Design 3
Module Coordination : Ms. Delliya Mohd Zain
Tutor : Mr. Mohammad Hazazi Hamzah
The module emphasizes on ‘experiencing space and place’ in architecture. In the subject, we are introduced to, an exploration of spatial typologies and poetics in architecture; and, the concept of neighborhood and community. In the preliminary design work, we are engage with studies and design of different spatial typologies. Subsequently, the major project involves the design of a small-scale community building (discovery center) in Kampung Janda Baik, which engages with the spirit of place inherent within the site, the site topography, history and socio-cultural events.
Project 1
Poetic Journey Structure - Spatial Translation
Project focuses on poetic architecture that forms expressive experiential spatial
journey which tells a story and engages with the users through their individual senses. Poetic architecture convey beauty together with meaningful experiences that
leaves one feeling more fulfilled. The task will be supported by reading precedence,
site visit & site exploration of a given building, plus inventory and categorization of
poetic spaces.
Project 2a
The Discovery Center (Genius Loci) - Site Analysis, Site response and Design Concept
Project 2a requires an analysis of the site context as a starting point. It is a fundamental need for any design project as it will suggest a series of parameters to suggest architectural solution, one that will be appropriate to the place and its meaning, and contributes to its context. The site needs to be understood, in both intuitive and personal ways, as well as quantitative and measured means. Techniques to record and understand the site are varied, from physical surveys to qualitative
aspects of experience and personal interpretation of the place.
Project 2b
The Discovery Center (Visitor Center for Kampung Janda Baik, Pahang)
In this final project, students are required to design a structure that will allow user to “DISCOVER” about the people, place, activities, culture, history etc. associated to Kampung Janda Baik. It will function as a visitor center that could display interpretive exhibits, include a walk-through historical or cultural journey museum-like exhibition, as well as an interactive and engaging “edutainment” program and areas or spaces to connect with the local people and the natural environments of the place.
