PROJECT 1:
DIAGRAMMING ARCHITECTURE DESIGN INTENTIONS & PRINCIPLES
 

OBJECTIVES:

  • TO IDENTIFY ARCHITECTS AND THEIR DESIGN APPROACHES AND WORKS

  • TO ANALYSE THE ARCHITECTURAL WORK OF SELECTED ARCHITECT AND TURN INTO PRINCIPLES DIAGRAMS & MODE

  • TO PRODUCE BASIC ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITIONS OF SOLIDS, PLANES, LINES AND FRAMES IN BOTH DIAGRAMS AND MODEL


ARCHITECT: SHER MAKER                        BUILDING: KHIANKHAI HOUSE

IN THIS ASSESSMENT, WE WERE REQUIRED TO FORM A GROUP OF 5-6PEOPLE IN A GROUP TO STUDY ABOUT THE SELECTED BUILDING & ARCHITECT GIVEN BY THE LECTURER. I WAS IN A GROUP OF 6 MEMBERS, OUR SELECTED ARCHITECT WAS SHER MAKER AND OUR RESPECTIVE BUILDING WAS THE KHIANKHAI HOUSE. WE WERE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A BACKGROUND RESEARCH ON THE ASSIGNED ARCHITECT AND HIS SELECTED KEY BUILDING. AFTER THE RESEARCH, WE WERE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A COMPLETE SET OF ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS WITH A SCALE OF 1:50. WE WERE EXPECTED TO INVESTIGATE AND ANALYSE THE KEY BUILDING IN A GROUP. OUR MAIN DISCUSSION WAS MAINLY AROUND THE MAIN DESIGN INTENTION, SPACE PLANNING, CIRCULATION & ZONING, AND STRUCTURE OF THE KEY BUILDING. WE WERE THEN REQUIRED TO FORMULATE OUR FINDINGS INTO DIAGRAMS AND DIAGRAMMATIC MODELS.

  • 5 ANALYSIS DIAGRAM

COMMENTS FOR THE PROJECT:

WHILE STUDYING ABOUT THE KEY BUILDING BY SHER MAKER, I LEARNED A LOT FROM THE ASPECT OF DESIGNING, ORGANIZATION, THE WAY OF THINKING OF THE ARCHITECT, ETC. I HAD A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE KEY BUILDING WHILE LOOKING THROUGH THE FLOOR PLANS, SITE PLANS, ELEVATIONS, SECTIONS, AND PERSPECTIVE. AFTER LEARNING THROUGH THE DRAWINGS, I HAD LOTS OF BRAINSTORMING TO PRODUCE ANALYSIS DIAGRAMS OF THE KEY BUILDING. IT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS FOR US TO LEARN TO HOW TO PRODUCE AN ANALYSIS DIAGRAM OF BUILDINGS, IT HELP THE READERS AND VIEWERS TO HAVE A CLEARER IMAGE OF THE KEY BUILDING. THEN, WE CREATED 5 DIAGRAMMATIC MODELS TO SHOWCASE OUR DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND ELEMENTS, THE DIAGRAMMATIC MODELS PRODUCE A BETTER VISUAL FOR THE AUDIENCE. IT IS GREAT TO WORK ALONG WITH THESE GROUPMATES, I LEARNED A LOT FROM THEM AND AM GLAD TO HAVE A SUCH EXPERIENCE THROUGH THIS PROJECT.
