DESIGN OR BUILDABILITY? STUDIO OR PRACTICE?
(BLTN…)
This is in response to the vibrant discussion on Studio Vs Practice. I rather enjoyed the throw outs by everybody. And my excuse for the silence was the prep for start of sem.. hehe.
I don’t really want to broaden the discussion. Great points have odi been made. Just want to throw in my simple way of seeing things and then close the Fido Anecdote.
Conceivably, there are 3 types of buildings:
1. Buildable and Built Buildings
2. Buildable but Unbuilt Buildings, &
3. Unbuildable Buildings
Those of us from Melb and here who are pretty focused on Type 1 sound like ppl who’ve seen the light, or something, after moving on. And really, there is great wealth in that arena. I’m not trying to be punny: Wealth monetarily as well as in an epistemological sense. Carry on, I say, carry on---it’s a wonderfully exciting adventure. Most of the precedents that inform our education in architecture (as far as schools of architecture go, as opposed to liberal arts faculties) are Type 1 buildings. And it is not true that Built Buildings have no “design”.
There is a great deal of Type 2 buildings around, in the Studio and in Practice. Ask any architect. Yes, there are shelved schemes in the drawer (hardisk) that the economy, the fickle client or competition jury set aside. Brilliantly designed and detailed though they may be. No? Yes, most 5th Year Thesis projects belong to this category, too.
Those of us who feel attracted to Type 3 buildings need not apologize for it, nevertheless. That your colleagues may not share your access to something so esoteric and unfathomable, do not understand their value, should not deter us. Because they shed so much light on the murkiness that is the muddied attempts at design in Type 1 and 2 buildings. Pragmatically, you need to be astute as you analyse your educational programme for crevices or plateaus which allow you to explore and place your Type 3 buildings.
At the end of the process that is Architectural Education, it is more than likely that you will be unable to divorce the Buildable from our “Unbuildable”. You will somehow see all 3 types in each of the projects you have designed. And we all hope that we will carry the holistic thing into practice. Reality, I reckon, is friendlier to the messy than the pure.
Oca, with his wonderful wit, has a way with metrical writing. I’ll just piggy back on him.
studio is studio…and practice is practice?
Some reckon studio is the practising for practice
My classmate who told me the Fido story never said which sch it occurred in. I would personally grade the guy A+ for wit, for the simple act opens up a whole world of discussion on animal rights, recycling, economy of means, brief expansion, etc. But I reckon he would earn a D or E for deliverables, unless he had videoed and packaged the performance…
In any case my classmate said the guy failed the project.
This is in response to the vibrant discussion on Studio Vs Practice. I rather enjoyed the throw outs by everybody. And my excuse for the silence was the prep for start of sem.. hehe.
I don’t really want to broaden the discussion. Great points have odi been made. Just want to throw in my simple way of seeing things and then close the Fido Anecdote.
Conceivably, there are 3 types of buildings:
1. Buildable and Built Buildings
2. Buildable but Unbuilt Buildings, &
3. Unbuildable Buildings
Those of us from Melb and here who are pretty focused on Type 1 sound like ppl who’ve seen the light, or something, after moving on. And really, there is great wealth in that arena. I’m not trying to be punny: Wealth monetarily as well as in an epistemological sense. Carry on, I say, carry on---it’s a wonderfully exciting adventure. Most of the precedents that inform our education in architecture (as far as schools of architecture go, as opposed to liberal arts faculties) are Type 1 buildings. And it is not true that Built Buildings have no “design”.
There is a great deal of Type 2 buildings around, in the Studio and in Practice. Ask any architect. Yes, there are shelved schemes in the drawer (hardisk) that the economy, the fickle client or competition jury set aside. Brilliantly designed and detailed though they may be. No? Yes, most 5th Year Thesis projects belong to this category, too.
Those of us who feel attracted to Type 3 buildings need not apologize for it, nevertheless. That your colleagues may not share your access to something so esoteric and unfathomable, do not understand their value, should not deter us. Because they shed so much light on the murkiness that is the muddied attempts at design in Type 1 and 2 buildings. Pragmatically, you need to be astute as you analyse your educational programme for crevices or plateaus which allow you to explore and place your Type 3 buildings.
At the end of the process that is Architectural Education, it is more than likely that you will be unable to divorce the Buildable from our “Unbuildable”. You will somehow see all 3 types in each of the projects you have designed. And we all hope that we will carry the holistic thing into practice. Reality, I reckon, is friendlier to the messy than the pure.

Design Studio 3 - Grandmother Stories
When Mr Ian and Mr Keith asked us to sketch what we think is the most memorable part in both our house and our grandmother's house as the first task, it only took me one second to figure them out.
The window on the left is in my sister's room, not my room, but I always adore it the most. In the morning, the see-through gordyn frames the beauty of morning light and waves to the soft flow of the early wind. It is very memorable because I always look to it every morning and it is beautiful. The sad part is I hardly ever sit by the window, enjoying the beauty of it.
The picture on the right is the view from the inside of the house facing the main gate of my grandmother's house, which is located in Chinatown and is about 70 years old. It is very memorable because every Chinese New Year, the big family would gather at the house, all the sons, daughters, grandchildren, relatives, and friends; and the door becomes one wonderful beauty. A lot of shoes and sandals would pile up by the door, scattered, picturing the togetherness of the family at that particular time of celebration.
The window is a beauty by itself, looking all good with its design without being used, but the door is even more of a beauty: the door ties our memories of every Chinese New Year celebration we've had together all these years, a memory that will be cherished, timelessly.

Deg Studio 3 Project 1 Brief
SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING & DESIGN
Centre for Modern Architecture Studies in Southeast Asia
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116]
Prerequisite: Architectural Design Studio
Project 1
PRECEDENT STUDIES: Analysing spatial poetics, spatial typologies and programming in architecture (Group work)
3 weeks
15% of final mark
Architectural Design Studio 3 is designed as a series of studio-based exercises leading to the design project for the Eight International Student Design Competition 2010 with the theme ‘A memorial to a Memorable Event: Making Manifest the Memory’ organised by The Commonwealth Associations of Architects (CAA).
[Caption for illustration on original brief document: The sheer scale of loss in the 2004 tsunami is beyond comprehension, and certainly, beyond any type of direct architectural representation. Our proposal for the memorial therefore does not attempt to index the event literally, but rather through abstraction. It is a landform rather than an object, an experience rather than a focal point. It is a space which relates to the mystery and power and dynamics of nature as much as to the human impact of the event.
Tsunami Memorial Centre @ Khao Lak ]
As part of this, the objective of Project 1 is to identify and analyze functional needs and spatial poetics through precedent studies. The main aim is to analyse and compare 2 selected architectural precedents, (1) commemoration of memories in relation to architecture & landscape; (2) commemoration of memories through built forms and spaces.
Each group of students is to analyse and compare the spatial poetics, spatial typology and programming of the selected precedents. The analysis and comparison of the design approaches for the open landscape and the built spaces will inform the preceding design projects for the remaining semester. Thus, the selection of precedents is should be critical and inspirational.
Learning Outcomes
1. Explain different spatial types in architecture, and how they inform spatial use and experience
2. Identify and analyze functional and poetic needs through case studies to inform the design project
Tasks
In groups of 3-4 students, select 2 precedents for analysis: (1) a memorial architecture that relates to the open landscape and (2) the other which relates to architecture and built spaces. The precedent study should provide the following analysis:
SPATIAL TYPOLOGIES
How are the spaces organised or arranged?
How did it inform the way spaces are used, moved through and experienced?
See Francis D.K. Ching’s Form, Space & Order & Purves’ Formal Patterns
PROGRAMMING: What are the breakdown of areas and their functions? How are the spaces related?
SPATIAL POETICS
What are the design strategies employed to commemorate the memories/event?
How are the spaces articulated in terms of the poetics, sensuality and tactility of architectural spaces?
· Spatial types (how did the spatial typology used influenced the way spaces were experienced?)
· Flow of experience (identify key circulation/journey, and select at least 5 experiential spaces to study). For each space, study the following: Engagement with senses; Manipulation of light and its effects on space (natural & artificial); Texture and materiality; Scale and proportion of spaces (in relation to human)
· Co-relate the plan to one of the most interesting section of your selected building. Study the section and analyse how it is designed. Comment on the relationship between inside/outside, volumes and scale of space, variation and hierarchy of spaces
See Steven Holl’s Questions of Perception: The Phenomenology of Space & Juhani Pallasmaa’s The Eyes of the Skin
Subsequent to your analysis of each precedent, compare the manner in which memories are commemorated in the open landscape and the built spaces
Use diagrams, photos and minimal annotations to illustrate your analysis. The analysis should be presented in a power-point presentation of approximately 20 minutes per group. Submit a soft copy in CD on the day of presentation.
Assessment criteria
Clarity of analysis
Extent & Depth of analysis
Evidence of research in the formulation of analysis
Use of computer programs to prepare for visual presentation
Professionalism & quality of presentation
Ability to work as a team

Deg Studio 3 Course Outline
(Hi Veron! Hope you're fine. We're all ok at the studio...Got off to a roaring start and we've odi selected our bld and landscapes for precedent study..hehe)
Dear Students, as BB7 is still not up yet your course outline and brief for Project 1 is posted here.
SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING & DESIGN
Centre for Modern Architecture Studies in Southeast Asia
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116] Prerequisite: Architectural Design Studio
Abstract
In the subject, students are introduced, firstly, to spatial typologies in architecture; and secondly, the importance of site context and the meaning of place in design. In their preliminary design work, students engage with studies and design of different spatial typologies (i.e. linear, spiral, spine, centric, etc) for a simple dwelling space which explores the idea of architectural tectonics and experiences. Subsequently, the major project involves the design of a small scale community building (e.g. gallery, small library) which engages with the spirit of place inherent within the site, the site topography, history and socio-cultural events. The design work explores the plan-section integration to achieve architectural form that is tectonically expressive, functional and responsive to its site.
Objectives
To develop awareness of a wider place, a genius loci (town, countryside, coast), and the design response towards the place.
To emphasise the importance of site and program in architectural design.
To introduce different spatial typologies in architectural design (spatial organisation and relationships).
To emphasise the importance of section in the design of architectural space.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:
1. Identify and explain different spatial types in architecture, and how they inform spatial use and experience
2. Identify and analyze functional and poetic needs through case studies to inform the design project
3. Create tectonic expressions of different spatial typologies which impact on the uses and experiential conditions of space
4. Generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materiality and textures
5. Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the physical conditions of the site and ‘genius loci’ of place
6. Formulate simple programmatic requirements based on the given design brief
7. Design a small scale community building which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences
8. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.
Mode of Delivery
This is a 6 credit hour subject held over 14 weeks. The mode of delivery will be in the form of Studio and Self-Study. The breakdown of the hours is as follows:
Studio: 12 hours/week
Lecturers: Dr. Veronica Ng (VN), Ar. Ian Ng (IA) (PT), Anand Krishnan (AK)
Contact details are as follows:

3. Anand Krishnan email krishnanv3@gmail.com
Student-Centered Learning Approach
A student-centered approach will be employed in the delivery of this unit. The Studio sessions will be conducted to facilitate students in the design and design process.
· The Studio is significant for the development of design works. The Studio will engage in different forms of teaching & learning methods which includes Exercises for your design projects, Peer Critiques and Review of Projects.
· As each studio session is set to achieve different milestones, attendance to all sessions is compulsory.
· Students should be self-directed in their design process, and work vigorously on their design projects within studio hours. The design tutor will facilitate your learning process.
· Students are required participate in interim reviews and pin-ups. This is compulsory and leads to the final assessment of each project.
BB7 will be used as a communication tool and information portal for students to access course materials, project briefs, assignments and announcements.

Project 1 PRECEDENT STUDIES: Analysing spatial poetics, spatial typologies and programming in architecture (Group)
The main aim of Project 1 is to introduce different spatial typologies in architecture, and how they inform spatial use and experience through precedent studies. Working in groups, you are to analyse and compare 2 selected architectural precedents. You are to select (1) an architecture that emphasise on commemoration of memories in relation to architecture & landscape; and (2) an architecture that emphasises on commemoration of memories through built forms and spaces. The analysis and comparison of the design approaches for the open landscape and the built spaces will inform the preceding design projects for the remaining semester.
Project 2 ‘A memorial to a Memorable Event: Making Manifest the Memory’
Subsequently, Project 2 consists of 3 assignments:
Assignment 2a (Group)
DISCOVERING THE PAST EVENT AND THE SITE
The main aim of Project 2a is to identify and analyse suitable site context for design exploration. In groups, investigate potential past event in Malaysia for design exploration. Carry out a thorough research and site analysis for the selected event.
Assignment 2b (Individual)
MEMORY & SITE/LANDSCAPE: MANIFESTING MEMORY THROUGH ARCHITECTURE IN THE LANDSCAPE
The main aim of Assignment 2b is to introduce simple site context (open landscape) as a significant aspect which shape architectural design. Individually, design memorial spaces within the open landscape to commemorate a significant past event selected in Assignment 2a. This design project should apply knowledge gained from precedent studies in Project 1. It emphasises on the relationship between architecture and landscape in architectural design to engage with the use and the user experience/senses.
Assignment 2c (Individual)
THE VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE FOR A SELECTED MEMORABLE EVENT
Assignment 2c explores architectural response to the selected event within the context of the site and programmatic requirements of a visitor interpretive centre. The purpose of the visitor centre is to showcase interpretive material related to the event and commemorate a selected event within the given locale. The project should apply the knowledge gained from Project 1, particularly organising and articulating spaces and the sensuality and poetics of space to inform user’s experiences within the architecture. Emphasis is given to design resolution integrating site, program and spatial poetics.
Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities (TGC) Portfolio
The portfolio is an edited document that is to include all the work produced in this unit. It should demonstrate the student’s learning process and outcomes.
Type of assessment and feedback
Each student will be graded in the form of formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments will provide information to guide the student in the design process. This form of assessment will be conducted through Interim Critique/Review sessions. Summative assessment will inform the student about the level of understanding and performance capabilities achieved at the end of each design project.
Attendance and Participation
Your attendance is compulsory. You are expected to attend and participate actively in class. The lectures and tutorials will assist you in expanding your ideas and your project progression.
Your work will be graded based on your performance throughout the semester. Your class participation is as important as the end product.
You are required to do your work in the studio, which is the most productive design environment.
Please adhere to the studio critic hours and submission requirements during classes.
Each of your presentation in the studio critic hours will be graded and calculated as part of your final grade.
Rules and Regulations
The School imposes a late submission penalty for work submitted late without a valid reason, which must be supported by relevant documentations, e.g. a valid medical certificate. A student MUST notify the Programme Director within 48 hours to ensure that the Board of Examiners is notified of the evidence. The evidence will assist the Board to reach a fair consensus and action.
Any work submitted after the designated dateline shall have the percentage grade assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for each subsequent day late. A weekend (Saturday and Sunday) counts as 1 day.
However, the lecturer(s) reserves the right to NOT accept work submitted more than 1 week late.
Class will officially begin as in the schedule. Any student who arrives late after the first half-hour of class will be considered as absent. Any medical certificate must be forwarded to the lecturer in case of any sickness, which prohibited you from attending the class.
Plagiarism will be taken as a serious case and will result in failure of the course.
This course outline is subjected to changes at short notice.

The evidence will assist the Board to reach a fair consensus and action.
Any work submitted after the designated dateline shall have the percentage grade assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for each subsequent day late. A weekend (Saturday and Sunday) counts as 1 day.
However, the lecturer(s) reserves the right to NOT accept work submitted more than 1 week late.
Class will officially begin as in the schedule. Any student who arrives late after the first half-hour of class will be considered as absent. Any medical certificate must be forwarded to the lecturer in case of any sickness, which prohibited you from attending the class.
Plagiarism will be taken as a serious case and will result in failure of the course.
This course outline is subjected to changes at short notice.
