ARCHITECTURE DESIGN III
This module is about experiencing space and place in architecture. It introduces us to spatial typologies and the poetics of architecture while exploring the concept of neighbourhood and community. In the initial exercises, we study and design different spatial typologies like linear, spiral, spine, and centric, focusing on simple dwelling spaces that emphasize architectural tectonics and spatial experiences. Later, the major project involves designing a small-scale community building, such as a gallery or library, situated in an open landscape or suburban context. This project requires us to consider the spirit of the place, including its topography, history, and socio-cultural significance. The design process emphasizes integrating plans and sections to achieve a form that is functional, expressive, and responsive to its site while also reflecting cultural and societal values in architecture.

FINAL PRESENTATION






REFLECTION
This module has been an eye-opening journey into understanding the deeper connection between architecture, space, and community. Through the various projects, I’ve learned to explore and apply different spatial typologies, allowing me to create designs that are not only functional but also carry a sense of poetics and meaning. The emphasis on understanding the spirit of the site, from its topography to its cultural and historical context, has given me a new perspective on how architecture can enhance and respect its surroundings.
​
I’m incredibly grateful to the lecturers for their guidance, insightful feedback, and encouragement throughout this module. Their expertise has been invaluable in helping me refine my design approach and broaden my understanding of architecture's role in society. This module has truly strengthened my ability to design spaces that are thoughtful, expressive, and responsive, and I look forward to applying these lessons in future projects.
