PROJECT 1 - SKETCHBOOK AND JOURNAL

This project is an on-site exercise where students have to sketch and document the physical and intangible qualities of the buildings as well as the immediate context of the site. It can be from an element as broad as the urban planning itself down to the smallest detail of the ornaments used in the building.

The sketches are to comprise at least 2 each of these categories:

1. The Genius Loci

2. Poetic Quality

3. Cultural Attributes

4. Technical /Construction details

PROJECT 2 - BUILDING REPORT AND VIDEO

The report is an additional document that accompanies the set of drawings for the building that is measured during the semester. Basically, the report will elaborate on the significance of the building measured from various aspects such as architectural, historical and cultural. In this report, students are required to relate the architecture of the building to its significance, highlighting how the two support the inhabitation of the building. Students are required to prepare a presentation, photobook and a video about their site. A video documenting the building is required to provide 3D experience of the building.

PROJECT 3 - MEASURED DRAWING

The project will be carried out throughout the semester where students will be assigned to measure and document a historical / architecturally significant or heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings. Each group will have to only measure one particular building assigned by the course coordinator. Apart from doing the measuring exercise on site, students will also need to do additional research in order to piece together all the important data about the building. The model will provide additional physical information of the building.

This project aims to produce a set of measure drawings of a historical and/or architecturally significant building or structure in a specific location. A report containing important and historical information of the building will complement the drawings. It is an on-site exercise where students are required to execute fieldwork and hands-on measuring exercise.
