For the rest of the
semester, students will concentrate on designing a contemporary market-place
within an urban infill site. The design of the building is to consist of
appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban
street context and user behavioural patterns as discerned and analysed in the
Preliminary Studies.
Apart from developing an
appropriate formal and elevational strategy in response to the character of the
street, the design should take into consideration a holistic application of
structural, spatial, functional and environmental requirements to address the
user needs for an urban market-place. The design development of this project
will include an introduction to the legislative restrictions that impact an
architectural scheme, the integration of lighting and acoustic design, as well
as the design exploration and detailing of the façade and building envelopes that
is coherent with the architectural language of the overall design project.
