PROJECT 01
"Diagramming Architectural Principles"
Task
Architectural diagrams based on a designated building are translated and analyzed in groups of six. Create a set of architectural drawings and a set of five diagrams for analysis using models and diagrams. Drawings should be manually drawn on 6-8 landscape-oriented A3-sized paper.
PROJECT 02
"Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality CONTEMPLATIVE PAVILLION"
Task
In a breakout of 3 students from Project 1, design a pavillion based on architectural language that was learned from the previous project. Generate forms and craft spaces that are sustainable and harmonious ways of living in a contemplative manner. Choose a tropical rainforest site condition and research on materiality, communicate the ideas through manually drawn drawings in 4-8 lanscape-oriented A3-sized papers, and model with a maximum volume of 125 m3.
PROJECT 03
": Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality + Context + User: THE TROPICAL SANCTUARY"
Task
Project 3 required the creation of a tropical sanctuary for myself and another user. We visited the National Botanical Garden in Shah Alam and produced a site analysis to show how we reacted to the micro-site chosen in our design for workshop activities. Moving on, it leads to the final result of Project 3, where the built-up area requirement is 100 sq m, and we must apply the workshop expertise to produce the final design. Drawings must be hand-drawn on three A1-sized papers that are landscape-oriented.
Reflection
I made new friends throughout my time at ADII, and I had the opportunity to receive instruction from Ms. Alina for Projects 1 and 2, and Ms. Patma for Project 3. When I run out of ideas, the solutions that the instructors provided to my questions were incredibly kind and helpful. In this modern age, where nature needs to be protected and buildings may have a significant impact on it, I was made aware of the significance of sustainable design through this module.
