Studio U3DESIGN STUDIOuse | programmeProgramme and Use arch 2110bernard lim / joshua lau / esther lorenz / johnny wongThe studio’s design approach is to link architectural space and human activity. Its method is toassemble archetypal activities (entry, gathering, worship, exchange, work, contemplation) anddevelop these into more complex narratives involving the experience of space + the uses of space.The Experience of SpaceMovement: kinesthetics - orientation and alignment - sequences - enclosure or release -18distance and proximity - hierarchies - expression through dynamics - path.Sensation: Optic - eye as register - perception of solid and void - the role and uses of19colour; Haptic (touch): the perception of textures, materiality, detail, weight. Auditory:significant parallel to overall perception, understanding distance, depth, materiality.Light: presence and modulation - effect of night and day - shadows - analogue to vision -transparency, translucency, and opacity.lenovo digital exhibition centre, hui wing hang keithThe Uses of Spacehow space addresses functional, symbolic, and social needs.Symbolic Uses: every human activity, and every space for that activity, possesses anordinary as well as a symbolic dimension. If programme refers to the ordinary dimension,then occasion might refer symbolic aspects. Both designations are necessary; eachcontains the other. The task of design is to orchestrate programme in the service of theoccasion, and, in doing so, to reinvent their relationship - between the ordinary and thesymbolic, the everyday and the special, the mundane and the poetic. In architecturalterms this has been designated as servant and served space, ground and figure, fabric andmonument, function and expression, abstract space and event space (or social space).gallery of movie, sun yitan heatherpublic performance stage for different hierachies in yau ma tei, li chong yan tommyREQUIRED COURSEACTIVITYArchitectural History and Theory IIIarch 2321 thomas chungBuilding Technology II (Building Structure)arch 2411 bruce lonnmanComputer-Aided Architectural Designarch 2210 marc aurel schnabelDesign Computation3d modellingThis course examines the history and theory ofmodern architecture through significant worksof the 20 th century. Modern buildings will besituated within the discourse on Modernism,and diverse ideas and designs through thedifferent movements and periods will be traced.The course focuses on how individual worksrelate to important manifestoes, critical writings,parallel developments in the arts, as well as themore general cultural, intellectual and historicalcircumstances of the time.The course is organized according to the fourbasic categories of structure described by Engel.Each type is studied to understand the physicalperformance characteristics based on action offorces and design parameters determined byeconomy, life safety and architectural context.Schematic, preliminary design exercises employingphysical behavior models, graphic statics formfindingand standard member selection designcharts provide experience in the selection andconfiguration of a few basic structural systems.Digital design media, methods ofcommunications, and design computing inarchitecture are the core topics addressed in thiscourse. Digital instruments for drawing, drafting,image processing, 3D modelling and visualization,layout, (Internet-) publishing, and fabrication areintroduced through lectures covering theoreticalconcepts and practical skill building exercises.These learning outcomes are applied andtransferred to problems and situations arisingfrom the design studio.Student use digital 3D modelling, renderingand animation to explore and communicateprogrammes within various spatial conditions.They study 3D relationships between humans,activities and experiences that are simulated withdesign computation.
