ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 3
Module Coordinator : Ms Dee
Tutor : Ms Rai
The module emphasizes on ‘experiencing space and place’ in architecture. We are introduces to an exploration of spatial typologies and poetics in architecture; the
concept of neighborhood and community. We will be engaging with studies
and design of different spatial typologies (i.e. linear, spiral, spine, centric, etc.) for a simple dwelling
space which explores the idea of architectural tectonics and experiences. Subsequently, the major
project involves the design of a small-scale community building (e.g. gallery, small library) in the open
landscape/suburban condition which engages with the spirit of place inherent within the site, the site
topography, history and socio-cultural events. The design work explores the plan-section integration to
achieve architectural form that is tectonically expressive, functional, and responsive to its site.
Project 1: Poetic Journey Structure
The focus of Project 1 is "Experiencing Space". In groups of 7-8 students, we have to propose a spatial journey,
with key consideration of spatial poetics in architecture relating to the given subject matter. With an analysis of minimum two non-physical precedent studies per student to analyze on spatial poetics in architecture, one physical building to visit, students are required to identify and explain different ‘modifying elements’ in architecture and the different types of poetic spaces, and how they inform spatial use and experience. We have to create a spatial expressions journey of different spatial qualities which impact on the uses and experiential conditions of space.

Project 2a : Experiencing Place - The Discovery Center
The final project requires us to individually explore architectural response within the context of the site and programmatic requirements of a small single volume public building as the visitor discovery center of the given place. The purpose of the building is to showcase interpretive materials related to the given context/place and as an a place for visitor learn about the place. Emphasis is given to design solutions integrating site, program, and spatial poetics.

Project 2b : Experiencing Place - The Discovery Center
The task is to design a Discovery Center (Visitor Center) specifically for Kampung Janda Baik. The overall project should emphasize and celebrate the diversity of culture, heritage and history, and the well-being of the place (example the fresh air and natural environment) the community, activities, and economy.
