Project 3
Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality + Context + User: Atelier By The Stream
Project task
In this project, students are required to design an atelier at Wawasan Recreational Park, Puchong. Students needs to create an atelier at Wawasan Recreational Park in Puchong for the final project. The structure should have a built-up area of 100 square metres and be able to fit me and my mother in a short period of time (2-3 days). The atelier must be appropriate for the immediate tropical site context. The relationship between the design and the context is critical in making the architecture distinct from its surroundings and activities. The structure's design must clearly express its design ideas through the use of architectural principles, materiality, and constructability in order to provide a memorable spatial experience for the user.

REFLECTION
In this project, I have learnt about adaptive reuse in architecture and how it may help revive the buildings or shophouses in Jalan Tun HS Lee which are deteriorating and abandoned in an era of rapid development. It also taught me the elements of sense of place and those potential solutions to conserve these elements. I was able to communicate fluently with my peers to discuss our topic and findings.
