project 2a

GENIUS LOCI - SITE ANALYSIS & CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Society, culture, history, memory and landscape if a particular place echoes the meaning of that 'place' or its 'genius loci'. In project 2, the design brief calls for an architectural response toward the sense of place with a strong engagement and relationship to the site and programmatic requirements. Project 2A requires an analysis of the site context as a starting point. 

GROUP WORK

Conduct historical research on TANJUNG MAIM, collect data and analysis the macro & micro sites on the following:

  • Orientation (Sun Path)

learning outcome

From this project, I knew the way of conscious consideration of spatial typologies, section-plan relationship, contextual conditions as well as the human scale, natural light, materiality and textures, I have learned to document, interpret and analyze the physical conditions of the site and extract the essence of the place and generate design based on character and conditions of the site context.
