DESIGN STUDIO PROJECT 3 : DREAMSCAPE FOR THE SELF

DESIGN STUDIO PROJECT 3 : DREAMSCAPE FOR THE SELF

Objectives of Project
1. To understand and apply basic design principles and terminologies
2. Develop design skills through analysis and ‘reading’ existing buildings
3. To further the student’s ability to create and develop a conceptual narrative
4. To be able to consider objective and subjective parameters in the design process to create a space
which is practical yet poetic
5. To be able to select and make different study models (sketch, concept, diagram, section and
development models)


Learning Outcomes of this Project
1. Design a space that embodies and expresses an idea or conceptual narrative
2. Be able to identify, articulate and apply basic design principles in spatial organization and
relationships
3. Be able to create, articulate and illustrate the poetics of spatial quality
4. Be able to produce and choose wisely among variety type of models with the aim of generating and
developing design as well as better presentation of idea
5. Advance communication skills through sketching internal expression of space, diagrams and
variety type of models


TASK
1. Design a sequence of at least 2-3 spaces that takes up anywhere in the provided site
plan not more than 110 sq. m and 15m high
2. This Space is for an idol of your choice
3. Work progress is to be recorded in your Sketch Journal
4. Final Model will be of a 1:50 scale and clearly represents the design and its elements


Submission Requirement 
1. Presentation Panels - A2 Boards (2 or 3 pieces)
2. Final Model Scale 1:50
3. Verbal Presentation 5 minutes

OVERVIEW



REFLECTION
Discipline Specific Knowledge
Thinking and Problem Solving Skills
Interpersonal Skills
In this project, I have learned a lot especially throughout the in-studio projects. I also learned to comply the knowledge I had throughout the semester into the final project. This is a very challenging and useful project as we had to create it for our client and not for ourselves, which is how it happens in real life while working, when we face our clients. Not only that, I have also got to know that design takes time and architecture is all about process, especially the design and work should not be dragged until the last minute but keep on processing. Throughout the presentations, I have learned a lot about how to become a good architects from the comments lecturers gave. It was a good experience and I would love to explore again.
