AD2
Architectural Design Studio II
Here is my AD2 online class journey during the pandemic with my groupmates and Mr Bryan. In studio 2, our study emphasis more on the users and the context of the buildings and to create spatial experiences through exploring different forms and principles with diagrams and section drawings.
PROJECT 1
Diagramming Architectural Principles
In project 1, we formed a group of 5 and had to analyze a house given by our tutors. Our task were to observe their materiality and contextual approaches. We produced diagrams through investigating its architectural form and space from analyzing their frames, structure, space planning, material etc.

PROJECT 2
Designing with Architectural Principles and Materiality
In this assignment I paired up with Mei Hui in procucing a Ornamental Structure that expresses feelings and emotions through different spacial experiences in one structure. Our Architecture folly is called Avaria. We selected principles like lines to form and stair folly and produce an Alice in Wonderland Storyline to narrate our architectural space.

PROJECT 3
Designing with Architectural Principles, Materiality, Context and User
For my final project, I am required to explore various design ideas from precedents and with more details in construction. First we have to analyze the site conditions and choose a microsite. We were given a site in Subang Ria recreational park to build a free standing solitary haven that can hold 2 people and design base on the user's profile and site contexts. This project focus more on the construction details, function of space, user experience and use of site context.

REFLECTION
Studio 2 has developed my designing skills more in terms of concept and design. In this semester I had explored a form that I never done before. I find organic and circular structure harder to do than it seems. I had to think of ways to make my design more complex so I got to play around with Interior arrangement. I apply unique concepts to make it more exciting. I always felt safe with geometrical form but in studio 2 I finally got to step out of my comfort zone and venture an organic shape. Of course I think that there is a lot more to improve in my drawings and construction details. I will definitely try more forms in the future.
