This is the final project that calls for a design of a simply public building (NAC) with some complexity that includes the complexity of site topography and vegetation, socio-cultural events and variety of strategies for sustainable design. In designing the NAC, I were to explore design solutions that harness environmental qualities and conditions for human and environment sustainability with a specific community of users. Moreover, I were to explore design solutions that reduce environmental impact, utilising clustered spatial typology and passive design approach. Thence, my design work should contribute to and merge harmoniously with nature and the site, meantime provide the best of experiences for the users. 

 

 

An "Experimental space" ...taking into account the considerations of user, context, function and experience......

 

 

Upon the completion of this project, I am able to develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design, eantime to eet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings. After gone through pre-design processes where include the production of design proposal, interim presentation, tutorial progression check and my progresive work-out and development, I was able to understand the site thoroughly and then to have my NAC successfully designed. 

 

 

Concept:

Reconnection with Nature.

THE IDEA OF RECONNECTING HUMAN WITH NATURE THROUGH ARCHITECTURE.

Integrating nature into architecture of NAC, where

allowing plants to grow along with the building facade.

In reconnecting human with nature,

"Openness" has been emphasised in the architecture construction.

More opened than enclosed, no restricted views from all sides,

closed body contact with plants - 

gives the essence of being just "one-step" in-and-out,

where such poetic and tactile spaces are planned.
