ARCHITECTURAL ALLOTMENT
Project 1B
Produced in parallel with Project 1A: Kebun Komuniti Plan, Project 1B deals with the understanding of materiality in relation to user experience in the Kebun Komuniti Plan. Within the context of each tutorial group’s Kebun Komuniti Plan, students will break up into smaller groups (3-4 students) to design an Architectural Allotment, which is intended to showcase architectural form as a construct of materiality for a proposed set of activities related to the cultivation of plants. The exploration of themes centred around the cultivation of plants together with requirement for seating, shading and storage will relate to the programmatic requirements in Project 2.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
-
Design and create architectural spaces with consideration of environmental poetics in relation to the basic natural context and existing built context (harness environmental qualities of the site to inform design) which impact on users’ experiences)
-
Establish an appropriate level of understanding of materiality and detailing as means to capture experiential qualities of the design.
TASKS
In our previous project groups, we were subdivided into smaller teams comprising 3-4 students. Our task was to conceptualize a compact architectural allotment that seamlessly integrates into the masterplan. This allotment serves as a small structure designed for plant cultivation, featuring integrated elements like seating, shelter, and storage.
