Architecture Design Studio V focuses on the theme of place-making for the urban community. It aims to explore urban conditions pertaining to movement, events and spaces within urban street context and to provide appropriate architectural solutions in designing a learning centre for the urban community, for the city’s inhabitants. The studio runs through two projects: stage 1: urban study on place making aspects; stage 2 comprises of architectural strategy and design development. The students are to derive interpretations for a learning centre in order to relate and offer to the community in the urban context.
PRELIMINARY STUDIES : DETACHMENT OF KLANG
The Preliminary Studies is a preparatory assignment that focuses on investigating basic notions of the city, and learning from examples of Learning Centre around the world. The Preliminary Studies comprises of three components: Site Documentation, Site Analysis, and Precedent Studies of Urban Infills and Learning Centre. The Site Documentation and Site Analysis allow us to understand the site we will be working with this semester, while the Precedent Studies will provide an insight into architectural responses for designing an urban infill Learning Centre. The outcome of the Preliminary Studies includes the production of site documentation materials (drawings and models in both digital and physical copy for further use), a comprehensive analysis of the site, and a detailed case study of a relevant urban infill and Learning Centre.

A LEARNING CENTRE FOR ALL
For our final assignment, we were to concentrate on designing a Learning Centre within an urban infill site. The design of the building is to consist of appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban street context and user behavioural patterns as discerned and analysed in the Preliminary Studies. Apart from developing a narrative on architectural strategy in response to the relevant questions pertaining to community and its context, the design should take into consideration a holistic application of structural, spatial, functional and environmental requirements to address the user needs for a Learning Centre. The design development of this project will include an introduction to the legislative restrictions that impact an architectural scheme, the integration of lighting and acoustic design, as well as the design exploration and detailing of the façade and building envelopes that is coherent with the architectural language of the overall design project.
