Project 1 - Preliminary Studies
The main purpose of this project is to serve as a preparatory assignment, focusing on investigating basic notions of the city, while at the same time learning from examples of urban infill-market places around the world.
The aim of this assignment is to introduce students to the basics of irban design and its relation to architecture, and secondly to study and determine the programmatic function, societal role and spatial layout of a market-place and architectural responses for urban infills.
The assignment is broken into three components:
Site Documentation, Site Analysis (Jalan Tun HS Lee)
- equip students with a thorough understanding of the site that they will be working with this semester.
Precedent Studies of Urban Infills and Market-Places.
- to provide insight into architectural responses for designing an urban infill contemporary market-palce.
Objectives:
-
To have an overview of the formation of cities and introduce basic concepts of urban design in relation to architectural design
-
To introduce and implement basic methodologies of urban studies
-
To investigate the role of market-places in traditional and contemporary urban societies
-
To examine various examples and architectural responses for urban infills
Learning Outcomes:
-
Conduct case studies and site analysis to generate an understanding of the physical and cultural context and development of urban environments
-
Determine and describe the role of a market-place in a contemporary urban setting
-
Examine and establish appropriate architectural responses and strategies for designing within an
urban infill site
-
Produce necessary documentation (diagrams, mappings, photographic images, orthographic
drawings and models) to record and communicate site analysis findings, and for further use in the coming design stages

Project 2 Urban Infill Market Place
After the preliminaru studies, we were to work on designing a contemporary market-place within an urban infill site. Hence, the design of the market is to consist of appropriate architectural responses, addressing the aspects of the urban street context (Jalan Tun HS Lee) and user behavioural patterns as analysed previously in the Preliminary Studies.
The design should take into consideration the following:
- An appropriate formal and elevational strategy in response to the street character.
- Comprehensive application of structural, spatial, functional and environmental requirements to fulfill the need of the users for an urban market-place.
- Design development that includes an introduction to the legislative restrictions that impact the architectural scheme
- Integration of lighting and acoustic design
- Design exploration of the facade
Objectives:
-
To take into consideration key aspects of urban design and context in relation to architecture
-
To develop an awareness and basic compliance to Design Codes and Statutory Requirements
-
To emphasize the importance of elevational context and composition in developing architectural
design
-
To implement and explore the conceptual, schematic and design development phases in an
architectural design project
Learning Outcomes:
-
Produce a design outcome for an urban contemporary market-place is site-specific through its formal, cultural, legislative, structural and environmental design responses
-
Apply basic knowledge of urban architectural typologies, infill design strategies and market-place programming
-
Demonstrate fundamental knowledge and awareness of design codes and regulations
-
Design within the constraints of feasibility and in response to basic design codes and statutory
requirements
-
Utilise study models, diagramming, mapping, orthographic plan-section and elevational studies to
explore and resolve relevant spatial, structural, functional and environmental issues in the design
development phase
-
Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually
communicate architectural ideas and scheme.
