PROJECT 2 : GENIUS LOCI; SITE ANALYSIS & CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

This project is made up of two separated tasks but both being interrelated :

1. In the same group of five, we have to conduct a site analysis of the chosen micro site which is to be used in the further tasks.
2. Personal Interpretation & Concept Development as a response.

In the same group of five, we have chosen a site to study its conditions and do conduct a site analysis. The micro site we have chosen is the Coastal Area located in The Labrador Park, Singapore. We have produced a micro-site digital model. Below is the analysis board based on the information we have gathered that highlights the information that are being incorporated into the next and upcoming tasks :

Moving on to the next task, individually, I have interpreted the site and translated them into the form of sketches. Then, by concluding the site based on the key elements together with personal interpretations and inspirations from site, I have derived a concept which is further put into an architectural form. Below is the board showing the sketches, ideas leading to the concept and the development of the concept into a form :

Learning Outcomes :

1. Understand the history of the site and connection with the structures, remnants etc. 
2. Able to analyze and conclude data and communicate the findings.
3. Able to understand and translate the poetics of the space.
4. Realize the importance of a design to be strongly dependent to the site.
5. Ability to translate concepts into forms.
6. Able to generate visualization through both 2D and 3D modelling and drawings.
