Journey of Five Senses
Aboriginal Art & Inside Out
Project 1 is an introductory project that we are required to explore issues of spatial typologies and poetics through simple design exercises. Working in groups of 5-6 students, we are to propose 2 schemes of Spatial Translations themed ‘Journey of the five senses’. We are required to translate the story of spatial translation into a narrative, and it should be informed by precedents studies.
Through this assignment, I am able to identify and explain different spatial types in architecture, and how they inform spatial use and experience. Other than that, I am able to identify and analyse case studies to inform the design project. These helps in generate design through subtle consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, and materiality in my future work.
