Project 2: Designing with Architectural Principles and Materiality

Project task & overview:
To produce a significant gesture of architectural space(s) by exploring conceptual and operational procedures. From the first assignment, architectural principle(s) are to be selected, defined and explored in the sense of the potential meanings and implications in the sense that they will inform two areas; generating forms and crafting spaces.

Design intention:
To design an architectural folly which creates the illusion of disconnectivity from the exterior, with two circulations featuring transparency and  the play of light and shadow in conjunction to creating different spatial experiences for different individuals, and of course a space for interaction. The idea is to create a false impression from the outside and slowly through the journey, the spatial experience in which the user experiences will change the impression.

Reflection
Throughout the project, I have learnt the ability to design a simple structure through the use of architectonics as well as the ability to demonstrate a basic level of understanding of materiality and detailing as means to capture experiential qualities of the design. I have also implemented interpersonal skills and lifelong learning skills by studying independently as we are not allowed to go back to campus. Besides that, the tgc of discipline specific knowledge has also been used.
