ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO II
This module introduces the principles and methods of analysis, abstraction, and synthesis in design thinking that are common to many design fields, including building and architecture. The key emphasis of the studio is “User and Context”, which investigates the relationship between user and natural environment. In this studio, students will undertake a series of studio-based exercises; firstly, an investigation of the architectural spaces and construction through precedent studies; and secondly, an exploration of form and space through architectural conceptualisation. Finally, students will design a small freestanding structure that meets user requirements and engages with the site context.

TAYLOR'S GRADUATE CAPABILITIES
I made sure my consistency and independency was on track as I've set a time schedule to ensure that the ongoing assignments run smoothly and finishes in time.
I sharpen my communicating skills by conveying my messages clearly and point out matters with a proper and polite way.
Delivering my ideas and obstacles I faced to my tutor virtually trained me to apply terminologies precisely.
SELF-REFLECTION
March 2022 was my very first F2F semester for my degree programme in Taylor's University. Throughout 14 weeks of lectures and tutorials, ADII was indeed a fruitful journey as we've achieved a new milestone, having our very first project site that was integrated later on for our final project.
​
Picking up new skills such as diagramming information, site data compilation and analysis, and etc. was a kick starter to a different level, where the methodology of our presentations had been raised to higher expectations.
​
With the excellent platforms implemented by the school such as TIME'S, FACEBOOK, MS TEAMS and etc., we students achieved a seamless interaction with our tutors apart from presenting our ideas and justification to them beyond boundaries.
