PROJECT 2A
Group project (20 %) + Individual (5 %)
Society, culture, history, memory and the landscape of a particular place echoes the meaning of that 'place', or its 'genius loci'. These qualities will inform the architectural concept and generators for Project 2 as the aim of the project is to design a Discovery Center for Kampung Janda Baik, Pahang. The project design brief calls for an architectural response toward the sense of place with a strong engagement and relationship to the site and programmatic requirements. Project 2A requires an analysis of the site context as a starting point. It is fundamental need for any design project as it will suggest a series of parameters to suggest architectural solution, one that will be appropriate to the place and its meaning, and contribute to its context. The site needs to be understood, in both intuitive and personal ways, as well as quantitative and measured means. Techniques to record and understand the site are varied, from physical surveys to qualitative aspects of experience and personal interpretation of the place.
The "study area" for Project 2 is Kampung Janda Baik and the specific area will be along Jalan Sumsum hilir and Jalan Kampung Janda Baik. Two dedicated specific sites have been selected for us to select from to design the discovery center. One site will be next to the Masjid Janda Baik (Site A) and the other one would be at Tapak Kobaik next to Pasar Mini Daily Fresh (Site B).
Project 2A is a "tutorial team" group project. In groups of 16, the team will need to distribute the given tasks wisely to carry out the site analysis. There are 5 division of tasks to be completed within the duration of less than 2 weeks. All items to be presented as a slide presentation except, the site plan, site sections, site model and the visceral board.
