Learning Outcomes
1. Formulate a simple brief that include appropriate architectural programme and planning
within a selected architectural context.
2. Analyse case studies to gain understanding of architectural responses and strategies of an
intentional design strategy to inform the design project.
3. Conduct contextual and user analysis in the pre-design phase.

Project 1a
Students are required to further develop the proposed design project given by the studio
supervisor that reflects the theme and finalize a programme that addresses the needs of the
required user group, as well as provides 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, environment and
cultural context in architectural design and offers a platform for students to develop their own
position in developing their individual project.

Project 1c
1. Based on your proposed sketch design, consider and include expanded aspects of design
development in tandem with the design of spaces, e.g. regulatory requirements, fire safety,
materials, construction, sustainability, feasibility and other relevant considerations, wherever
possible, integrating their development to produce a richer, more multi-layered design.
2. Develop a selected portion of your design for technological development and resolution.
Tectonic thinking in design approach.
3. Integrate environmental strategies into your design. May look into current sustainable trends
and design features.
4. To present work in a most comprehensive, systematic, creative and comprehendible manner.
Architectural Visualization, modelling and report.
