​Bachelor of Science (Honor) in Architecture

This project is driven by Architectural Design Studio 4, as an approach to support students’ design through extensive research within the framework of Contextual Architecture in Asia.

 

The Contextual Architecture framework focuses on students’ selection of building, with research objectives defined through in-depth literature review, leading to a well-established case study paper structure and writing. Assessments involve oral presentation and a written paper of 2,000 words.

 

The final topic of the paper should be evolved in discussion and consultation with the tutors and should be finalised by the fifth week of the course. Students will present the summary of the paper with images in class – which contains an outline of the paper covering issues and themes explored, as well as a bibliography.

 

 

Objectives of Project :

 

To integrate architectural design and research through a specific case study, supporting students’ design through extensive research within the framework of sustainability design in Asia.

 

To introduce students to activities which culminate in the production of the study; collection, indexing and evaluation of information; analysis of information; compilation and organization of study; writing of study; assembly of illustration and text; design of layout; binding and presentation.

 

Through an extensive research, I am able analyse and discuss in depth on the selected research area based on the assigned building, within the framework of sustainable design. I am also able to identify significant elements of sustainable design through investigation and produce a critical interpretation of sustainable design of the assigned building in the form of writing and oral presentation.
