CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE STUDY &
CASE STUDY PAPER
LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT
• ANALYSE AND DISCUSS IN DEPTH ON THE SELECTED RESEARCH AREA BASED ON THE SELECTED BUILDING, WITHIN
THE FRAMEWORK OF CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE.
• IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS OF CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE THROUGH INVESTIGATION ON THE SELECTED
BUILDING.
• PRODUCE, ORALLY AND IN WRITING, A CRITICAL INTERPRETATION OF CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE SELECTED
BUILDING.
• A PAPER (2,000 WORDS, DOUBLE-SPACED).
• A POWER POINT PRESENTATION (10 MINUTES) – WHICH CONTAINS AN OUTLINE OF THE PAPER COVERING KEY ISSUES
AND THEMES EXPLORED, AS WELL AS BIBLIOGRAPHY.
THIS PROJECT IS DRIVEN BY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 4, AS AN APPROACH TO SUPPORT STUDENTS’ DESIGN THROUGH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE IN ASIA. THE CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE FRAMEWORK FOCUSES ON STUDENTS’ SELECTION OF BUILDING, WITH RESEARCH OBJECTIVES DEFINED THROUGH IN-DEPTH LITERATURE REVIEW, LEADING TO A WELL-ESTABLISHED CASE STUDY PAPER STRUCTURE AND WRITING.
ASSESSMENTS INVOLVE ORAL PRESENTATION AND A WRITTEN PAPER OF 2,000 WORDS. THE FINAL TOPIC OF THE PAPER SHOULD BE EVOLVED IN DISCUSSION AND CONSULTATION WITH THE TUTORS AND SHOULD BE FINALISED BY THE FIFTH WEEK OF THE COURSE. WE WILL PRESENT THE SUMMARY OF THE PAPER WITH IMAGES IN CLASS – WHICH CONTAINS AN OUTLINE OF THE PAPER COVERING ISSUES AND THEMES EXPLORED, AS WELL AS A BIBLIOGRAPHY.

TASK 2: APPROPRIATE VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN
IN TASK 2 WE ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT OUR TOPIC AND ISSUE. WE NEED TO HAVE APPROPRIATE TITLE AND TOPIC SELECTION AND 5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS WITH SUITABLE REFERENCE MATERIALS AND CONCISE ANNOTATION AND APPROPRIATE CONCEPT MAPPING VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN. AFTER THAT WE NEED TO HAVE PAPER PRESENTATION WHICH UNDERSTANDING OF OUR RESEARCH TOPIC.
TASK 3: ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

THE FINAL SUBMISSION IS TO CLARITY OF CONTENT, ORGANISATION AND STRUCTURE OF ESSAY WITH WRITING CONVENTIONS.
FINAL SUBMISSION: REPORT
REFLECTION
FROM THIS PROJECT I HAD UNDERSTOOD ASIAN ARCHITECTURE CLEARLY AND LEARNT HOW TO INTEGRATE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND RESEARCH THROUGH A SPECIFIC CASE STUDY AND LEARNT THE DESIGN THROUGH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN IN ASIA. THEN I UNDERSTOOD CULMINATE UN THE PRODUCTION OF THE STUDY; COLLECTION, INDEXING AND EVALUATION OF INFORMATION; ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION; COMPILATION AND ORGANIZATION OF STUDY; ASSEMBLY OF ILLUSTRATION AND TEXT; DESIGN OF LAYOUT; BINDING AND PRESENTATION. AND I ALSO THANKS TO MY TUTOR MR. KOH FOR GUIDING ME TO ACHIEVE THE TARGET AND COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.
