SHAPE GRAMMAR [ARC3153]

Shape grammar is a method used to produce new and original design languages using the relationship between shapes as opposed to the traditional and conventional method which mainly depends on the designer’s intuition, experience and ideas as well as adaptation from other projects. In addition it is also used to analyse existing design language and subsequently using the same language to create a number of new and diverse designs which have never been produced before.

Project 1 – Shape Grammar Inspired by Nature and Surrounding

Within the building design, identification of spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting; for acoustic, an integration is required for external noises and internal noises. Integration are solution based and you with incorporated visuals, diagrams and renderings. Calculations are included to resolve design integration solutions.

FINAL PROJECT STUDIO 4. PROJECT 3 GENIUS LOCI: Visitor Intepretive Centre (VIC).



Project 3 calls for an architectural response to design an intepretive centre emphasising a strong engagement and relationship to the site visited (Pulau Jerejak), spatial experiences and programmatic requirements. This Visitor Intepretive Centre aims in serving two core purposes- To provide a physical point of reference with visual significance that keeps alive the culture/history/memory/essence of the site; and To provide accommodation to house and display relevant material and interpretive material for public access and information. In further enhancement of it's poetic qualities, the landscape itself is strongly emphasized and taken as an advantage to the design; visitors should also be inspired and informed in ways that somehow express the spirit of the place (genius loci).
