Raising temperatures and the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, particularly heat waves; are compelling us to rethink the relationship between architecture, technology and the thermal environment.
Drawing on the latest interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersections between architecture, environmental humanities, and STS (Science, Technology and Society), this module uses the concept of thermal governance to critique the prevailing thermal objectivity that undergirds mainstream understandings of climate, space and society.
This module deploys theories and methods such as sociotechnical networks, technopolitics and material agency to analyse multi-scalar thermal phenomena entangled with bodies, interiors, buildings, cities and the planet.
AR5958B OVERSEAS CHINESE ARCHITECTURE AND SETTLEMENT Tutor: Chen Yu
Studies on overseas Chinese architecture and settlement offer an imperative perspective for understanding the urban and architectural history of Southeast Asia and South China. The cultural exchange across these regions contributed to the hybrid nature of overseas Chinese architecture and the vibrancy of the built environment. This module discusses overseas Chinese architecture and settlements built in Southeast Asia and South China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It explores their spatial configuration and architectural expression, revolving around several typologies (i.e. temple, clan association, school, shop, house, cemetery, etc.) and their settings in a broader context.
AR5958D HEALTHCARE FACILITIES PLANNING AND DESIGN Tutor: David Chin
This module teaches the basic design and planning concepts for healthcare facilities. Students will learn about healthcare design through a mix of theory, case studies and facility visits, as well as interaction with clinicians and subject matter experts in the field of healthcare.
Each lecture session comprises of three parts: design and planning principles, guest or clinician engagement and lastly a case study or facility visit.
AR5958F HUMAN ECOLOGY: AGEING AND THE ENVIRONMENT Tutor: Fung John Chye
Rapid population ageing is a global real-world issue, and the urban environment poses many challenges to the older people. This module familiarises students with a critical understanding of the role that the environment plays in impeding or supporting ageing in high-density urban conditions, with a focus on Singapore. It introduces key aspects of ageing and the environment, including functional, psychosocial, urban planning and architectural design; as well as considerations for people with dementia. Students will engage in problem-based learning through case studies, neighbourhood studies, environmental behaviours, and exploring potential interventions to enhance the environment for the aged.
AR5958A DESIGNING WITH ENERGY. LOCAL RENEWABLES AS KEY FACTORS IN URBAN PLANNING Tutor: Naomi C. Hanakata
This module critically investigates the renewable energy transition and the need to explore local energy resources as a key parameter for urban planning practices. It will examine Singapore’s current energy landscape and the potential of local energy production. It will investigate a concrete site to explore the potential of local energy sourcing, and the implication on planning decisions. Students will produce alternative planning scenarios, based on an optimal energy sourcing.
AR5957B HISTORIES, THEORIES AND CONTEXTS OF ARCHITECTURE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA Tutor: Lai Chee Kien
This module examines the histories, theories and contexts of architecture/ urban design in Southeast Asia over a long duration.
AR5955A DESIGN LEARNING EXPERIENCE (DLX) Tutor: Albert Liang
Architectural Festivals are events for celebrating design and promoting architectural appreciation.
The “Designing Architectural Outreach” examines curatorial concepts, engagement strategies and programme design that shape the experiences of such event.
Through comparative case studies of past Architectural Festivals, the elective analyses their respective effectiveness and the factors contributing to their impact on public outreach.
A key feature of the module will be the authentic learning experience of conceptualising, planning, designing, implementing and evaluating the impact of an outreach activity in the local Architectural Festival.
AR5959C MIXED USE / MIXED USERS Tutor: Panagiotis Mavros
Mixed-use building and district typologies are essential for the functioning and also the experience of the city ¬— but mixed-uses also involve mixed users. How do people perceive and navigate in their environment? How do decisions impact the individual and collective experience of the city?
In this elective we will engage critically with the mixeduse building typology, conducting observational and computational case-studies in Singapore’s urban fabric to develop an understanding of how different people understand and experience the built environment. The course will draw its knowledge base and toolkit from current research on cognitive and behavioural science on how people perceive, cognise and act within different types of architectural and urban space. Weekly micro-research will build-up progressively from fieldobservations to computational methods such as Rhino/ Grasshopper, Twinmotion and others; that can be used to forecast and user-experience(s) in space.
AR5959B INTRODUCTION TO MASS TIMBER ARCHITECTURE IN THE TROPICS Tutor: Shinya Okuda
Mass Timber Architecture is rapidly evolving globally, as it is made of renewable resources and enables to sink carbon in a building form: a true game-changer in the global-warming era. However, its application in the tropics is largely unknown due to climatic and environmental challenges. The elective provides an introductory overview of Mass Timber Architecture; which is highly-interdisciplinary across forestry, manufacturing, structures, architectonics, built environment and carbon sink. It aims to set theoretical and technical frameworks to design Mass Timber Architecture in the tropics, and provide opportunities to interact with timber building experts and/or visit a construction site, etc.
AR5957A ARCHITECTURAL IDEAS FROM EXPANDED FIELD Tutor: Tsuto Sakamoto
Experiencing two outstanding phenomena: an environmental crisis and a development of intelligent technology; our relationship with things, living beings and environment has significantly changed today. Overwhelming power of natural disasters and pandemics remind us that we are no longer situated at a centre of the world to control and exploit the non-human entities for our subsistence. Today’s intelligent technology and its implementation in our society transformed our consciousness, desire and behaviour instead of us handling such technology as a simple tool. The crisis of human-centric idea or anthropocentrism suggested in these phenomena provides us an opportunity to reexamine the discipline of architecture that has been closely tied with the anthropocentrism since Renaissance period.
AR5957E PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE HDB: IMAGING PUBLIC HOUSING IN SINGAPORE Tutor: Darren Soh
This module intertwines the concepts of architecture photography and public housing history in Singapore. Students will be taught how photography is integral to architecture and how public housing in Singapore has been represented using photography from the time of HDB’s founding in 1960 up till the present day.
Instruction will be carried out with a mix of theories (both in architectural photography and the history of public housing in Singapore) and practical sessions (fieldwork visiting and photographing various HDB estates in Singapore).
AR5957G PHENOMENOLOGY FOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN HISTORY Tutor: Ellen Philpott Teo
This module explores the meaning and use of phenomenology as theory and ‘method’ for the study of architecture and design history. Through a series of lectures, discussions, field trips and practical workshops, the module covers the work of key figures in phenomenology most relevant to studies of architecture and design. Key ideas explored include phenomena, ‘method’, contextualisation of historical objects (texts, buildings, artworks, images), narrative, poetics, memory, ocular centrism, the image, the thing, embodiment, experience, being, the senses, the cogito, the dialectic, bracketing, essences, aesthetics, technology and hermeneutics.
AR5958C ARCHITECTURAL THEMATICS IN CONTEMPORARY DISCOURSES Tutor: Wong Yunn-chii
The primary objective for this upper-level module is to enable students to develop a critical working understanding of architectural themes that have underpinned the discipline and the profession. These themes are assembled under ‘discourses’ rather than a defined or settled set of principles.
AR5959A INTEGRATED URBAN WIND ENVIRONMENT DESIGN Tutor: Yuan Chao
Following the latest released Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) AR5 report, buildings and cities are urged to consume less energy and resources, provide comfort and quality living environment, and be sustainable and responsible for our future generations. This module focuses on architectural and urban design principles to improve urban wind environment. Urban wind environment is essential to address lots of urban environmental issues, such as urban heat island (UHI) and air quality. This module aims to provide students with theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills on performance and evidence-based planning and design strategies.
Simulation knowledges and tools are introduced for planning and design practices from the urban scale to building scale. The simulation part in this module enables and encourages students to apply the wind principles into the real design problems.
AR5957F WRITING DESIGN: EXPLORING THE LANGUAGE OF OBJECTS, BUILDINGS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Tutor:Justin Zhuang
Objects, buildings and the environment are shaped by concepts and realised with materials; but they are, more often than not, understood via language. This module explores the relationship between language — in the form of words and visuals —and design. Through lectures and workshops, participants will be introduced to various lenses to examine design. They will also be guided to develop a portfolio of writings. By becoming more fluent in reading and writing design, participants will become more critical practitioners too. AR5955I ARCHITECTURE AND DIAGRAMS Tutor: François Blanciak
This elective aims to provide students with an overview of various techniques of production and theories that relate to architectural diagrams. Its objectives are: to learn how to analyse buildings from a diagrammatic point of view, to acquire knowledge of the history and theory of diagrams in architecture, and to develop skills to generate urban and architectural diagrams directly related to design studio projects.
AR5955G WORKAROUND: AN EXPERIMENTAL SEMINAR Tutor: Lilian Chee
Covering the topics of work and home from the 19th century modern to the contemporary present; Workaround will introduce students to historical and theoretical concepts of capital, labour, agency, and space. The historical trajectory we trace across the seminar, broadly covers home conceived in three different tenors: Home as Ideology, Home as Opportunity, and Home as Substitute. Loosely, these three tenors represent the transformation of work in the home from an ostensibly domestic activity that is gendered, to an alternative activity that is messy, to a quotidian activity that is ubiquitous today. In concert with sessions dedicated to discussing how the home has been represented architecturally; the seminar anticipates an ambitious output that deftly combines traditional written outputs with documentative material created through historical research, theoretical models, ethnographic observation, and more. This module is run concurrently with the option studio Domestic Capital: an experimental studio.
AR5952C URBAN AND RURAL REGENERATION IN ASIA Tutor: Chen Yu
This multi-disciplinary module explores several topics on urban and rural regeneration in Asia. It aims to provoke critical thinking about sustainable planning and design in Asia. We will elaborate on the theories and principles of this study area by examining selected regeneration projects from historical, social, economic, and environmental perspectives. On-site lectures and seminars will enable the students to experience and understand challenges with regeneration practices in the context of Asia. With the simultaneous rise in the population of elderly and the number of natural disasters; societies worldwide are increasingly facing two critical questions: how can we care for unprecedented numbers of elderly in our society, and how can we reduce the vulnerability of older populations during and after catastrophic natural disasters, due to climate change? Responding to these societal challenges, we need both intelligent policymaking and practical solutions that emerge from citizen engagement on the ground, especially for co-designing our own surroundings. This module aims to familiarise students with challenges and opportunities around aging societies, not only from national but also global perspectives. This module introduces global aging issues related to both social and physical environment aspects. Through dialogues with global experts, students will be exposed to real-life cases, and persons on the ground implementing interventions in various parts of the world. They also gain critical thinking skills in order to come up with their own ideas on how to tackle this complex issue and be a part of the solution to enhance the environment for people of all ages.
AR59XXX DESIGN RHETORIC Tutor: Craig Hodgetts
Research, analysis, and diagrammatic description of the visual design vocabulary as applied to critical buildings and articles of everyday use.
AR5953C INTRODUCTION TO MASS TIMBER ARCHITECTURE Tutor: Shinya Okuda
Mass Timber Architecture is rapidly evolving globally, as it is made of renewable resources and enables carbon sink in a building form. However, usage of natural and organic materials in a contemporary built environment requires a whole set of different design approaches from common industrial materials, such as steel or concrete. The elective provides an introductory, highly-interdisciplinary overview of the Mass Timber Architecture — across forestry, manufacturing, structures, architectonics, built environment and carbon sink. It aims to set theoretical and technical frameworks to design Mass Timber Architecture, with its emerging prospect in Southeast Asia.
AR5952H HUMAN ECOLOGY – SPACE & HEALTH Tutor: Ruzica Bozovic Stamenovic
This module is a critical enquiry into the role of sensorial apparatus in processes connecting space to physical, psychological and social wellbeing. In the “flipped model” teaching environment where the lecture slides are available ahead of weekly dialogues, we will be debating the issues from the standpoint of sensory driven perception. Lectures will cover three main areas: topics in history-theory (culture/context related evolution of healthful design; ageing); holistic approaches to sensorial design (transgression from healthy to healing) and pragmatic topics and methods (universal design and investigative practices). Deliverables include small-scale AR5952A PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY DESIGN Tutor: Tan Beng Kiang
This module introduces concepts and practices in participatory planning and design at the community scale. Major topics include brief history of participation (global and Singapore), why participation is needed, benefits and problems, methods in participatory community design and case studies. Students are expected to participate in hands-on projects to apply the methods (subject to change due to safety measurement measures). Students are also expected to participate in community engagement activities on some weekends and evenings.
*Module codes stipulated are Subjected to Change.
NUS DOA’s Architecture Internship Programme is an essential practical component that complements students’ architectural education in the classroom.
Under this internship programme, M Arch I students undergo 6-month work attachments at firms or organisations in the fields of architecture, design, infrastructure and urban planning. This provides students with valuable exposure to a range of professional experiences and skills which cannot be taught in a traditional university setting. It also allows them to observe practitioners at work, see how classroom learning translates to the workplace, and experience the rhythms, ebbs and flows of life on a job in architecture and its related fields.
Finally, the internship also helps the student progress in his or her maturity and understanding of the industry, in preparation for entry to the M Arch II programme.
