PROJECT 1B | PRECEDENT STUDY & ANALYSIS SKETCHES & ANALYSIS REPORT

In this precedent study and analysis sketches, we must prepare illustrative and abstractive diagrams, drawings and text. The drawings should include actual and conceptual design ideas of floor plans, building sections, analysis diagrams and sketches expressing clarity and in-depth investigation of the precedent studies.

 

 

QUESTION

Precedent Study Analysis :

1. How does the building reflect the spirit of the time and place for which it was built?

2. What are the initial ideas and the design concept?

3. How the initial ideas and the design concept affecting the architecture? 

 

Illustration of Precedent Study Analysis :

2. Building Massing Analysis (i. Material and Structure - geometry of making, ii. Geometry - alignment/anthropometry/social geometry/ideal geometry)

REFLECTION

In this project, I have learnt a lot more about Basilica Church of Saint Denis. I was facinated by how the building was designed and structured even back then. The knowledge of using pointed arches to support the weight of the ceiling and flying butresses to resist the lateral forces pushing the walls outward are very useful for today's architects. Throughout this project, I have learnt to analyse thorougly and research is very important.
