ZHARCHITECTONIC: Architecture Design Studio 3

[Studio3] Visitor Interpretive Centre

Project 3 requires an architectural response to design an interpretive center emphasizing on engagement and relationship to the site, spatial experiences and programmatic requirements.

[Studio3] Project 2 : Genius Loci

The first part to Project 2 requires an analysis of the site context which was located in Labrador Park, Singapore. It is a requirement for any design project as it will suggest a series of parameters to suggest architectural solution relating to the context of the site.

The information collected was then presented in a single presentation board.

The second part of Project 2 was to design an interpretive center based on the analysis done. This design process would later be carried on into project 3 as the design is further developed.

[Studio3] Project 1A & 1B : Journey of the 5 senses

The main objective of Project 1A is to identify and analyze spatial order and spatial poetics through precedent studies. The main aim is to analyse 2 selected architectural precedents and analyse the spatial poetics & spatial typology of the selected precedents. The group consisting of 5 students, select 2 precedents for analysis , one being pre-modern and the other being contemporary with the spacial typology of linear and concentric.

Project 1B is a continuous project from Project 1A, and requires the group to design a walk themed ‘journey for the five senses’ based on a chosen poem.

I perish here of

desolation, not

stronger enough to

shatter the wall, and let
