Project 1c: Detailed Design and Final Executive Report

In addition to students ability to develop their own position in developing their individual project within the theme of ‘sustaining humanities’- architecture for people, place and time, one key aspect of the design project is to develop holistic and integrated aspects of technology, environment and cultural context in architectural design.

Subsequent to Phase 2: Design Strategy and Schematic Design phase, students are required to further develop scheme with the incorporation of environmental strategies and technological resolutions. The intention of integrating the E&T aspect is to strengthen design on the aspect of sustainability and buildability. Student will have additional guidance from their E&T tutor who will look into improving the green and sustainability component, suggesting on passive cooling techniques and technological innovations.

The studies will be included in a 5000 word comprehensive design report. This phase is integrated with the module Building Technology 2. The co-requisite module will look into how to improve the structural aspect and buildability of the project.
