Design Studio 3
Course Objectives:
Precedent Studies: Analysing spatial poetics & spatial typology in Architecture.
The objective of project 1a is to identify and analyze spacial order and spacial poetics through precedent studies. The main aobjective is to analyze 2 architectural precedents.Each group of students is to analyze the spatial poetics& spatial typology of the selecteon of precedents should be critical and inspirational.

Group work: Site condition & analysis
Objective:
Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context and the "genius loci" of place
Genius loci: Visitor Interpretive Centre (VIC)
Objective:
1. Generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context
2. Generate design through conscious consideration if sectionplan relationship with considerations of human, natural light, materials/texture
3. DEsign a small scale community building which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users' experiences.
4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbalpresentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.
