Project 6A

Main Topic                            : Integrated Project – Design & Build A Small Scale Building

OBJECTIVES                        :

• To enhance students’ skills in applying suitable elements and principles of design in producing a small building with specific function and context.
• To improve students’ skills in conducting and documenting site analysis, designing objects and producing complete presentation drawings.
• To enhance students’ creativity in designing a unique yet practical one-space building with the understanding of human physiology, ergonomic and comfort factors based on basic technical knowledge.
• To increase students’ creativity in producing a remarkable stage design in the real climate and site context and explaining it with a clear design statement.
• To introduce students to the skills of applying suitable structural design, materials and basic services.
• To expose students to the basic costing analysis.
• To introduce students to the report writing requirements and skills.
• To expose students to the knowledge of basic construction process and management.
• To allow students to construct a relatively large scale of physical model with appropriate construction techniques.
• To encourage teamwork and nourish leadership skills among students.

Site Analysis

The site is located beside the studio HBP. The existing site is covered with peat soil and only some trees was planted at the site. There is no shady area nearby the site and it is exposed directly to sunlight all day long. As there is traffic near the site, so the noises will cause disturbance to sound system. Besides, facilities and buildings nearby the site are well maintained with adequate cleanliness.

                                                                    Elevation Section

The design of the amphitheatre stage is inspired by coconut leaves. This stage is designed based on the shape with the combination of cross sectional structure of coconut leaves. The real view of this stage is alike structure that cover with several coconut leaves. 

                                                                        Floor Plan

It is proposed to develop a user friendly amphitheatre. The stage is designed based on universal design concept. This amphitheatre is designed with a floor ramp that enable the disable people to use it though. The seat for disable audience is design near to other audience so that all the audience can communicate well during the performance.

 The seat of audience is surrounded by buffer zone which consist of trees. It can provide enough oxygen to the audience. Beside that, the buffer zone also can overcome the problem of noising. the arrangement of trees is located surrounding the seat of the audience are giving a good impression and comfortable environment.
