Architectural Design IV
This module introduces to the essence of exposure to real world clients, assessing their needs and giving them exactly what they want. On a design standpoint, producing something that responds and compliments its surroundings, benefiting its users and potential users.
The module is divided into two intense projects, consisting of group and individual, all of which revolve around the P3KU Urban Farm in USJ18. It is an organisation that provides opportunities to disabled teenagers giving them exposure to real world activities. Their site is full of potential given its location, setting and demographics. It is a pleasure to be able to work in such an inclusive organisation and its given location.
Project 1
The P3KU Masterplan
The existing P3KU site is in dire need of a revamp of their current random circulation of randomly placed spaces around. This project require us to consider their needs and layout conveniences in terms of privacy and hopes to bring in more people into their site.
Our redesigned P3KU masterplan intends to maintain as much privacy while allocating spaces for the public to interact and hold activities within the site.
Project 1B
Komorebi | Architectural Allotment
Adopting creative ways to make gardening interesting and interactive, architectural allotments are structures that allows users to have a more hands on experience of gardening and feel its spacial qualities.
Komorebi presents a play of climber and potted plants that are edible for users to taste. The spatial qualities of nature taking over man made structures is portrayed with the climber plants hanging off and potted plants growing out from the ground. Users are able to embrace nature in a unique way.
Project 2
Embracing Nature |P3KU Community Garden Centre
A building that acts as a hub for USJ1 residents to gather and hold events or just hold gardening classes. The facilities from shopping to dining produces produced by P3KU are ways to boost their earnings and putting its place on the map for others to come and experience.
Embracing Nature extends its theme to design a building that constantly remind users that nature is abundant and cannot go to waste. The many design strategies elevates the spacial experience of being in the building.
