Modern Architecture

P1A

This semester, we were asked to design a community learning center at USJ14 Park.

The site is located in the lush greenery of USJ14 Park and is mainly surrounded by low- to mid-rise residential buildings.

The students were tasked to identify, analyze, and synthesize the context into a design proposal.

Students had to pay attention to the characteristics and needs of the user community to expand and enrich their design proposal for Project 1C: USJ14 Community Learning Center.

P1B

DESIGN ESQUISSE -
LEARNING POD

The objectives of this project are as follows:
1. To develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design.
2. To develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and
social needs, as well as make poetry with materials and spaces.
3. To develop understandings on human scale, proportion, ergonomics, and materiality.

Building Siting: Setbacks 6m from Lot Boundary facing the road, 3m from other boundaries.
Building Height: 2 - 3 Storeys in variations of the cluster typologies: radial, grid, cloistered
Approximate Floor Area
Indoor Spaces: Approximately 900 sqm of net floor area.
Outdoor Spaces: Not included in the 900 sqm are outdoor learning spaces.

REFLECTION

After this study, I have a new understanding of architectural design. Because I did not study the professional knowledge of architecture in depth last semester, I worked harder this semester.
I am also very grateful to MS SZE EE. My teacher helped me a lot in class, which benefited me a lot. My knowledge in the field of architecture has increased a lot, and I will work harder on the road of studying architecture in the future.

Energy and Architecture

PROJECT

Overall, I think this module has made me realize the importance of energy auditing and how to achieve energy efficiency by changing building design and occupant behavior, which can have a positive impact on people's lives.
