- Communicate design through effective visual and expressive verbal presentation to peer, tutors,
and architects from industry.
Precedent Studies

Group project
Project task & Overview:
- Generate design through conscious consideration of spatial typologies, section-plan relationship, contextual conditions
and considerations of human scale, natural light, materiality, and textures.
- Document, interpret and analyze the physical conditions of the site and ‘genius loci’ of place and generate design based
on the character and conditions of the site context.

- Communicate design through effective visual and expressive verbal presentation to peer, tutors, and architects from industry.
Design Process
Final Boards
Reflection
- Employ appropriate visual and verbal architectural vocabulary when referring to building types, series and periods.
- Show the appropriate sequence of historical periods and how they are represented architecturally.
- Discover the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of form.
REFLECTION
Through this Architecture and Environment module, I have learned the considerations in the relationship between architecture and environment. I have also learned the importance of sustainability in the environment. This brought me to a new understanding of design. I really appreciated my tutor, Ms Suja, gave us a lot of inspiration on Architecture and Environment.
