This project calls for a design of a public building with some complexity that includes the complexity of site topography and vegetation, socio-cultural events, and variety of strategies for sustainable design.
It explores design solutions that harness environmental qualities and conditions for human and environment sustainability through a project with a specific community of users. Students explore design solutions that reduce environmental impact utilising clustered spatial typology and passive design approach. The design work should contribute to and merge harmoniously with nature and the site, and provide the best of experiences for the users.
The Project Site
Pulau Banding, Gerik, Perak
Brief : Nature Appreciation Centre
Building Siting : Setbacks as per authority requirements (where applicable)
Building Height : 2 - 3 Storeys. Approximate Floor Area : 800 sq m. (with the possibility to expand)
Facilities : To provide a Mixed-Use Facility to accommodate:
A. Nature Gallery
B. Video / Auditorium Space
C. Visitor / Info & Administrative Area
D. Reading & Documentation Room (Archive)
E. Observation Deck / Area
F. Café + Kitchen + Services
G. Children Explorative Area Vehicle : Access and Parking
Occupants : Consideration for disabled (wheelchair) access
Public Access : Consideration to the Public/Private accesses and separation
Pedestrian Circulation : Consideration of the pedestrian accesses into and around the Site.
Other service facilities to be provided as per required
Tasks
Pre-Design (Design Analysis)
1. Understanding the site: A thorough site investigation and analysis is required to inform students of design decision.
2. Understanding the brief: Identify and research the user needs
3. Based on the site and user needs, brainstorm ideas for exploration of the communal space.
Schematic Design (Problem Solving)
1. Conceptual thinking
2. Develop sketch plan and section to respond to environmental and user needs
Design Development (Resolving Design)
1. Develop interior poetics (inside/outside relationship) by taking into account interaction between environment and architectural space/form
Final Presentation Board
The boards are suppose to be connected.
Model
Reflection
This is my second final project using digital softwares like AutoCad, Rhino, 3D Max and also Photoshop of course. This time I am a lot more confident upon doing my presentation board and 3D model. The more experience I get from using digital softwares, the more I feel i get the hang of it that these projects gave me a chance to train myself on digital softwares as it is very important to pursue my career. However, I've tried to manage my time well on the final assignment this time but I was still a little bit out of schedule but things went fine too.
