ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 3 (ARC2118)

Project 3 : Genius Loci (Visitor Interpretive Centre)

Introduction

Project 1 introduced and explored the formal and poetic articulation of architecture in a sire-less condition. Project 2 established a Design Concept as a driver for architectural development. In Project 3, the design brief calls for an architectural response to design an INTERPRETIVE CENTRE emphasizing a strong engagement and relationship to the site, spatial experiences and programmatic requirements.

 

We are to produce an INTERPRETIVE CENTRE which functioned to :

  • Provide a physical point of reference with visual significance that keeps alive the culture/history/memory/essence of the sire.

  • Provide accommodation to house and display relevant material and interpretive material for public access and information.

 

Below are the presentation board of the Interpretive Centre I’ve designed:-

Conclusion

Through Project 3, I am glad that I am able to generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context at the same time through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materials/texture. Most importantly, I am also able to improve and learn new software design skills such as AutoCad, Rhino and 3dsMax. This project really helped me in designing spaces for public users in an innovative and creative ways that would response to the sire topography, history and socio-cultural events, functional program and users’ experiences. In conclusion, this project really improve me a lot.
