Architecture Culture And History

Project 1 - Precedent study and analysis

 

INTRODUCTION

This project focuses on investigating historical works to enrich architectural design and ideas.

Through the study of existing buildings, students are able to communicate and expand their own

architectural vocabulary and develop design concepts. In a group of 4, we were required to

conduct precedent study analysis on specific building through drawing, model-making, on-line

forum discussion and verbal presentations. This precedent study analysis should help clarify the

research question of “why” that specific building is historically, culturally and architecturally

importance; and “how” the design concepts derived from that particular building can be developed

and expanded to be creatively and innovatively integrated into their Studio 1 design project.

 

OBJECTIVES

1. To introduce basic architectural theory through a consideration of intentions, concepts,

patterns, disciplines, architectural language and contextual relationships.

2. To creatively and innovatively develop and expand the design concept derived from the

precedent study analysis.

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. To produce building analysis which document intentions, concepts, patterns, disciplines,

architectural language and contextual relationships.

2. To produce graphical development, expansion and elaboration of intentions, concepts,

patterns, disciplines, architectural language and contextual relationships as integration to

design project.

 

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

• Part B : Present the informations of historic building on A2 board (individual)

• Part C : The model is 30 cm x 30 cm in dimension with 10 cm depth and material used should be balsa timber
