Project 2 integration (1)
This document outlines the requirements for Project 2 of the Building Science 2 course. The project requires students to integrate lighting and acoustics principles into the design of their final studio project. Students must produce site analyses related to lighting and noise and identify spaces that require artificial lighting, daylighting, and noise management strategies. They must submit two A2 boards - one on lighting integration and one on acoustics integration. Calculations justifying their design solutions must also be included. The project aims to demonstrate understanding of lighting, acoustics, and sustainability through an integrated design approach.
Theories report
Seksyen 3 in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia is analyzed using Kevin Lynch's cognitive mapping framework. The area contains distinct districts like residential, commercial, religious and educational. Major roads form strong edges around the triangular shaped area. Prominent landmarks like mosques and tall buildings aid navigation. Key paths connect districts and landmarks, with wider primary routes and narrower secondary streets. Intersections between paths serve as important nodes gathering people. Analyzing the area's paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks provides insights for improving urban design and navigation.
Synopsis 4
1) The document discusses Kenneth Frampton's concept of Critical Regionalism and how it relates to architecture and urbanism. Critical Regionalism aims to mediate universal civilization with elements derived from a particular place, like local light, structure, and topography.
2) It also addresses how defined urban forms have broken down due to modern development and the rise of megalopolises. This has caused a crisis in urban planning.
3) Creating bounded urban domains would allow architecture to resist the endless flux of megalopolises and preserve a sense of place, according to the concepts discussed in the document.
Sypnosis 3
The document summarizes a reaction paper written by Chew Ung Heng about the book "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. Juhani argues that architecture should aim to stimulate people's emotional feelings and imagination, rather than just their visual senses. He believes architects should design buildings with the images and feelings of occupants in mind, not just as physical objects. Juhani also says that architecture influences people's emotional experiences and links their souls to the images a building creates. The quality of a building lies not in its own sense of reality but in its ability to awaken imagination.
Synopsis 2
This paper discusses a book that examines the relationship between communication theory, semiotics, ideology, and architecture. The authors introduce the concept of ideology as referring to reality but only providing an illusion, and propose architectural theory as existing outside of ideology to explain the relationship between society and the built environment. They view semiotics as an important tool for architectural theory that can clarify the distinction between communication and signification. The authors see semiotics as a way to better understand how significance is produced in architecture and recommend it be used as part of a larger project rather than an outside concept imported alone. Semiotics may be useful as a way to counter ideology by allowing alternative perspectives on economic and political norms in architecture.
Synopsis 1
The document summarizes a reaction paper written by Chew Ung Heng about Jane Jacobs' book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". The main points made by Jacobs are that cities need clear divisions between public and private spaces, "eyes on the street" to ensure safety, and continuous pedestrian activity on sidewalks. She also argues that neighborhoods should not be self-contained but should allow for diversity, mixing of uses, and short blocks to encourage interaction. Understanding cities requires thinking about complex, interconnected processes rather than isolated problems.

Part B requires students to produce a 2000-word illustrated essay and cognitive map that analyzes emerging urbanism in selected spaces of Kuala Lumpur in relation to Lynch's theories of imageability and spatial perception. Rubrics are provided to assess students' critical analysis and research skills.

This document presents a case study on the structural analysis of a two-story reinforced concrete bungalow. It includes the floor plans, structural plans, quantification of dead loads, and live loads acting on the structure. It also outlines the structural framing and includes a 3D model. The goal is for students to demonstrate their understanding of building structure through carrying out the structural framing and preparing structural drawings for the chosen bungalow project.

This document describes the design and testing of a fettuccine truss bridge with a 350mm clear span by a group of 6 students. It provides details of their methodology, including testing different fettuccine and adhesive materials. It also gives an introduction to truss bridges and different truss designs. The document outlines the testing of 3 iterations of their fettuccine bridge, analyzing problems with each design and improvements made to increase the bridge's load capacity. The final bridge design sustained 8kg before failure, achieving the highest efficiency of 598%.
Asian architecture
The document is a case study on the vernacular courtyard design and climatic design used in the courtyard house. It discusses the traditional Siheyuan courtyard house design found in northern China and compares it to the courtyard house design in Singapore. Some key points:
- Both designs feature a central courtyard surrounded by rooms, with the main rooms facing south for maximum sunlight. Thick exterior walls, strategic placement of windows, and plants in the courtyard help with ventilation and climate control.
- Color schemes, roof designs, and the central role of the courtyard are also similar between the two house styles.
- Variations exist in the spatial layouts of Siheyuan courtyards, but wind simulation results show
Aa presentatin
The document discusses the courtyard house design inspired by Beijing Siheyuan and how it achieves thermal comfort. It analyzes the application of Chinese vernacular courtyard design strategies in modern architecture. Specifically, it examines the Singapore Courtyard House design which takes cues from Beijing Siheyuan in its layout, orientation, functions of rooms, and use of a central courtyard to provide ventilation and extend living space. Both designs employ traditional strategies like southern orientation, green spaces, and simple color schemes to create comfortable and harmonious living environments.
Abstract ( asian architecture )
The document compares the courtyard design strategies of traditional Beijing Siheyuan houses and the Courtyard House in Singapore. Both designs follow principles of Feng Shui and hierarchy. The Siheyuan houses have rooms arranged along north-south and east-west axes, with the main house facing south. Similarly, the Courtyard House has two blocks in a north-south orientation around a central courtyard. Both designs also use grey brick and tile with green plants to create harmony and ventilation. The inner courtyard serves as a private family space in both house types. In conclusion, the houses show similarities in their vernacular courtyard-based architectural designs while responding differently to their environments.
Topic issue proposal 2014
The document proposes a case study on the courtyard house design. It will examine how the courtyard house borrows from traditional Chinese courtyard designs to provide ventilation and thermal comfort. Specifically, it will analyze the vernacular courtyard designs used, the functions of different courtyard variants and sizes, and how the design adapts to different climates. The student provides an annotated bibliography and proposes researching these topics through questions on the courtyard design's references, climatic designs, functions, effects of courtyard size and shape on wind patterns, and adaptability across climates.

This document outlines the requirements and structure for a contextual architecture study and case study paper project at the School of Architecture, Building & Design. The project involves researching an Asian building within the framework of contextual architecture. Students will conduct a literature review on the building's vernacular architecture attributes and contextual architecture elements. They will present their findings and later produce a 2,000-word case study paper on a specific topic related to the building, with an oral presentation and submission of an abstract, outline, and final paper. The project aims to integrate design and research and introduce students to the research and writing process.
