This module is a thematic studio based on the theme of “sustaining humanities’’—architecture for people, place and time. Designing for sustainability has been a fundamental issue for architects in our time within global and regional contexts. In line with the current discourse on sustainability, It upholds the belief that architecture can create better places, that architecture can affect society and humanity, and that it can have a role in making a place civilized by making a community more liveable.
We were required to develop the design project proposed by our supervisor in a way that reflects the theme and finalizes a programme that addresses the needs of the required user group. This solution should also aim to provide spaces that invite interaction with the surrounding contextual conditions. In addition to the theme of sustaining humanities, the module focuses on the development of students’ ability to integrate considerations of technology, environmental sustainability and the broader cultural context into architectural design. This studio also offers a platform for us to develop our own position in developing our individual project.Learning Outcomes:1. Produce design development drawings with a suitable level of complexity2. Design with considerations of building performance (thermal comfort, acoustic and lighting), regulatory frameworks, health and safety considerations.3. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling, verbal presentation and a design report to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.Subsequent to Phase 2: Design Strategy and Sketch Design phase, we are required to develop environmental strategies and technological resolutions with the main intent to strengthen their design exploration/ideas, and complement their design through a comprehensive design report. This phase is carefully integrated with the Building Technology 2 module.
