PROJECT 1
The aim of this project is to generate structure, form and space through architectural conceptualisation, with the emphasis on the
user requirement, ergonomics and site responding to develop an architectural proposition. Students will be shown the importance of
using the art of crafting and making: drawing(s) and model(s) as a critical design tool as part of the design process.
In groups conduct site analysis of the physical context, social, cultural and/or historical issues within the overall site. Our group collect data and record on the site survey. We provide dimensions of its width and depth and indicate any adjacent buildings at the levels of plans, elevations and sections to create an accurate record of what currently exists.

This project aims to interpret and analyse client’s character and needs in relation to the design of a small building. A retreat denotes ‘A place affording peace, quiet, privacy and security’ where its occupant/s would reside for a short period of time. This retreat must function as habitable architectural spaces to enable the activity associated with living, dining, showering, cooking, storage and such within the built up space of 150 square meter.
