This module introduces the principles and methods of analysis, abstraction, and synthesis in design thinking that are common to many design fields, including building and architecture. The key emphasis of the studio is “User and Context”, which investigates the relationship between user and naturalenvironment.

PROJECT 3

This project aims to design a solitary haven at Wawasan Recreational Park, Puchong. Solitary haven denotes ‘a structure that is designed for a clean and healthy living and working environment with access to nature to boost the immune system and improve psychological wellbeing. The structure should be within the built-up space of maximum 100sqm and be able to accommodate 2 people, including yourself and a family member comfortably in a short spend of solitary time.

REFLECTION

This is the first project that requires a site visit to perform a site analysis. It was a fun experience to meet my groupmates physically and explore the actual site. We split the task among us and researched on which site is the most suitable and interesting for our project. The workshops that are included are also helpful to improve my skills and understanding of architectural drawings. The building design has to accommodate a family member, therefore its the first project that is based on a "client". I was able to create a design that interacts with the site context instead of just a flat ground, which for mine, the building is built right next to a lake. With this, I was able to play with different ideas related to the site.
