Design Studio Project 1 : Journey of The 5 Senses
The main intention of this project if mainly to allow us to explore our senses even further. We had to create 2 memorials, one for Lahad Datu and another for Mr.Lee Kuan Yew, the prime minister of Singapore. The main objective in this project is to fully understand poetic feeling and spaces based on our creativity and thoughts on the space created in the memorial. These spaces can be guided by the precedent studies that we've done, which are linear and concentric.
1a PRECEDENT STUDIES: Analysing spatial poetics & spatial
typologies in architecture
5% of final mark
As part of this, the 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. Each group of
students is to analyse the spatial poetics & spatial typology of
the selected precedents. The analysis of the design approaches will inform the
preceding design projects for the remaining semester. Thus, the selection of
precedents should be critical and inspirational.
Tasks
In groups of 4-5
students, select 2 precedents for analysis. It could be local, national and/or
international examples. One precedent must be PRE-MODERN MOVEMENT, and one
precedent must be CONTEMPORARY. Also, one precedent must be LINEAR, and the
other CONCENTRIC. Record your analysis on multiple sheets of A3 butter paper. The
precedent study should provide the following analysis:
SPATIAL
TYPOLOGIES
- State and describe the
spatial typologies applied in the design
- Explain how the spaces
are organised and ordered
- Explain how the typologies ordered the use of the design
SPATIAL
POETICS
- Design considerations
employed to explore spatial poetry/poetics/experiences
- Spaces articulated in terms of the poetics, sensuality and tactility of architectural spaces
- Plan-Section relationship
Subsequent to your analysis of each precedent, conclude
the manner in which spatial experiences and use are designed and articulated.
Use diagrams, photos and minimal annotations to
illustrate your analysis.

1b The Journey for the 5 senses
15% of final mark
Using
the design strategies based on the Project 1a, design a walk themed ‘journey
for the five senses’.
Tasks
1.
Read
the given poetry and visualise it from an architectural viewpoint.
2. Via white card or digital
modelling, produce study models for each spatial typology.
3.
Based
on the sketch design, develop plans and sections (at an appropriate scale
depending on your design scheme) with considerations of human
scale, light/shadow, materials/texture. Section is to be drawn using pencil on
butter paper.

In this project, I've really learned a lot about Linear and Concentric, which really helps a lot in designing because both has got their own intention and style. I've also learned that time management is very important for this project as it takes time to fully complete the project although it's a group work. Last but not least, this project had really taught me about how to design and create poetic spaces for user's experience. Poetic spaces are really important while designing because it actually relates to how a user feels while they're in the building, that can lead to a further detailed thinking of architecture.
