Project Part A: Contextual Architecture Study
Objectives & Learning Outcomes
This project is driven by Architectural Design Studio 4, as an approach to support students’ design through extensive research within the framework of Contextual Architecture in Asia. The Contextual Architecture framework focuses on students’ selection of building, with research objectives defined through in-depth literature review, leading to a well established case study paper structure and writing. Assessments involve oral presentation and a written paper of 2,000 words.
The final topic of the paper should be evolved in discussion and consultation with the tutors and should be finalized by the fifth week of the course. Students will present the summary of the paper with images in class – which contains an outline of the paper covering issues and themes explored, as well as a bibliography.
To integrate architectural design and research through a specific case study, supporting students’ design through extensive research within the framework of Contextual Architecture in Asia.
Analyse and discuss in depth on the selected research area based on the selected building, within the framework of Contextual Architecture.
Identify significant elements of Contextual Architecture through investigation on the selected building.
Produce, orally and in writing, a critical interpretation of Contextual Architecture of the selected building.
A paper (2,000 words, double-spaced).
A power point presentation (10 minutes) – which contains an outline of the paper covering key issues and themes explored, as well as bibliography.

Synopsis
To conclude, this overall project is inter-related. We have to choose a specific contextual architecture to further analyze its contextual architecture elements. Afterwards we have to come out with our own topic and questions in order to establish our case study paper on selected contextual building. Based on my experiences, i have gained quite numbers of useful information which enable me to apply in my studio final project.
