RACHEL PHAIKLIN'S
SEMESTER 5 ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
1. Analyze the site character and identify conditions of the urban streetscape and urban behavioural patterns
2. Analyze case studies to gain understanding of architectural response for urban infill sites to inform the design project
3. Analyze case studies to gain understanding of the role and spatial programming of a market-place in an urban setting
4. Demonstrate the fundamental knowledge of Design Codes and Regulations
5. Design within the constraints of feasibility and in response to design codes and statutory requirements
6. Produce plan-section and elevational studies to explore and resolve relevant aesthetic, construction and environmental issues in the design development phase
7. Produce a design outcome for an urban contemporary market-place that encompasses the appropriate site-specific architectural responses through its formal, cultural, legislative, structural and environmental design solutions
8. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually communicate
architectural ideas and scheme.
ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN STUDIO 5
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the module, students will be able to: 1. Identify and collect relevant research data
2. Explain a set of architectural and structural documentation
3. Relate basic structural elements and structural principles in construction
4. Analyse and document construction methods and materials
5. Evaluate existing construction system and detailing of the selected project
6. Critique issues pertaining to construction principles, materials, techniques, codes of practice, process of assembly, and detailing
7. Critique issues pertaining to energy efficiency, embodied energy as well as ecological impact
8. Generate alternative construction solutions by means of sketches and drawings
BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 1
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
1. Describe the theoretical issues related to design through study of architecture and urbanism and its related studies
2. Identify the different architectural theories which inform the development of architecture and urban forms
3. Analyze and critique the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural, and intellectual context
4. Analyze architecture and urban forms in relation to relevant architectural theories 5. Produce, orally and in writing, a critical interpretation of architecture and urbanism in relation to relevant
theories within the contemporary discourse of architecture
THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:
1. Recognize the relevance of design implications on the acoustic and lighting environments
2. Explain the terminologies used in architectural acoustics and lighting
3. Describe design of spaces free from glare, lit with proper selection of light sources, including day lighting strategies that can be applied to designs to create more sustainable designs
4. Exemplify suitable light sources to create intended or desired ambiance
5. Calculate the required amounts of external opening required to provide adequate internal illumination levels
for simple designs and apply knowledge to creatively introduce daylight into interior spaces without bringing
in heat
6. Design simple acoustically-compatible spaces that enhance sound qualities in spaces while exploring noise
reduction method to achieve required reverberation time
BUILDING SCIENCE 2
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the module, students will be able to :
1. Develop formal attributes of a number of key examples on the design of the cities in the East, during the historical and contemporary times
2. Identify, discuss and critique various urban design theories and ideas
3. Explain how ideas, cultural values (intangible) and topography and other site conditions (tangible) can offer
to significant perceptions and experiences
4. Record through and present the fundamental urban research techniques in spatial and perceptional studies.
