Project 1: Architectural Allotment
In a space of 3m x 6m x 3m (height), we were to propose the space and system (hanging, climbing, hydroponic) for growing plants with the integration of elements for seating (2-3 people), shelter (in the form of partial screens or roofs) and storage (for gardening tools, seeds, fertilizers). The system for growing plants and the elements for seating, shelter and storage should be integrated and not be seen as separate parts of the allotment. The design should take into consideration the needs of the users from the P3KU Urban Farm.
Final Project: P3KU Kebun Komuniti Center
The project calls for the design of a P3KU Kebun Komuniti Center within the Kebun Komuniti Plan proposed for P3KU Urban Farm in USJ18 Park. This site is currently the location of a non-profit project for disability teens employment. Students are required to provide full design proposals incorporating findings from site analysis and precedent studies. Students will generate narratives that respond to the environment and community within the given context and explore environmental poetics of building enclosure’s design solutions that reduce environmental impact utilizing various complex typologies of spatial organisations and a variety of passive strategies for sustainable design. The design should contribute to and merge harmoniously with environment and site and provide the best of spatial experiences in fostering a sense of community
