POETIC JOURNEY STRUCTURE

Project 1

Project 1 focuses on poetic architecture that forms expressive experiential spatial journey which tells a story and engages with the users through their individual senses. Poetic architecture convey beauty together with meaningful experiences that leaves one feeling more fulfilled. The task will be supported by reading precedence, site visit & site exploration of a given building, plus inventory and categorization of poetic spaces.

Learning Outcomes of this Project

  • Generate design through conscious consideration of spatial typologies, section-plan relationship, contextual conditions and considerations of human scale, natural light, materiality, and textures.

  • Communicate design through effective visual and expressive verbal presentation to peer, tutors, and architects from industry

TASKS

In Project 1, we, as a group of eight students, collaborated to romanticize a typical Malaysian tropical beach and created an intriguing narrative journey. We used this narrative to develop two individual standalone Poetic Journey Structures: one as a concentric journey and the other as a linear journey. Both structures were derived from the same storyline, with minor adjustments to fit the respective formats. For our final presentation, we were required to create a two physical models, a poetic video journey and presentation boards.

Throughout this project, I learned a lot about the impact of poetic architecture on human emotions and experiences. Working in a group was enlightening as we shared ideas and refined our designs together. It enhanced our understanding of spatial typologies, design considerations, and effective communication. It helped enrich our skills in design thinking and presentation. It was an invaluable experience that deepened my appreciation for meaningful architectural spaces.
