The Year One Semester Two Studio begins with analyses of precedent studies through drawing exercises and culminates in students’ individual design explorations to demonstrate competence in a number of foundational modes of architectural thinking and making, particularly form geometry and composition, tectonic expression, and movement and space in relation to scale, materials, and contexts.

There are three studio exercises that explore the measure of man and the modularity of materials as design generators at different scales. Project 1, the analysis of precedent houses, serves as an introduction to the translation of architectural ideas and materials into spatial, formal-compositional and tectonic expression.

PROJECT 01 ARCHITECTURAL LITERACY FORM LANGUAGE AND TECTONIC ARTICULATION; MOVEMENT AND SPACE
PROJECT 02 DESIGN OF A MICRO-CAPSULE FOR INDIVIDUAL OCCUPATION
Analysis of Precedent House Project 01 focuses on the study of precedent houses, using drawings and models, as an introduction to precedent analyses through exercises on form/language, tectonics/materials, space/light, and scale.
Anthropometry: furniture and fittings; micro-space use Materials: modular units and dimensions; making and constructing
The aim of this exercise is to understand how architectural ideas and materials are translated into spatial, formal-compositional and tectonic articulation by different architects. You will select a house for study from the following list: 1. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Villa Tugendhat (1930) 2. Adolf Loos, Villa Muller (1930) 3. Le Corbusier, Villa Savoye (1931) 4. Mies van der Rose, Hubbe House (1934-5) 5. Frank Lloyd Wright, Falling Water (1935) 6. Louis Kahn, Adler House (1954) 7. Kiyonori Kikutake, Sky House (1958) 8. Paul Rudolph, Milam Residence (1960) 9. Richard Neutra, VDL II (1965) 10. Louis I. Kahn, Fisher House (1967) 11. Charles Correa, Parekh House (1967) 12. Geoffrey Bawa, 33rd Lane House (1960-70) 13. Mario Botta, Bianchi House (1972-73) 14. John Hejduk, Wall House ([1973] 2001) 15. Balkrishna Doshi, Doshi (Sangath) House (1981) 16. Rem Koolhaas, Villa DallAva (1991) 17. Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizasa (SANAA), Moriyama House (2005)
Project 02 focuses on developing and demonstrating the following skills in the design of a micro-capsule for your individual occupation: - micro-spatial composition (anthropometry), - formal composition (dexterity with modules and dimensions), and - tectonic articulation (materials, construction) You may assume a persona that allows you to articulate the following in connection with a site/ situation of your choosing:
Prospect and Refuge
Your retreat in nature is not a residence but a place to escape the routine of your life. Its prospect is an expression of your outlook: it provides a view of your surroundings that calms or excites you, assures or motivates you, according to your inclination. Yet it is also a place of refuge, your inner sanctuary. This duality drives your design.
Occupation and Leisure
When you occupy your retreat, leisure is your preoccupation. You design this haven of happy pursuits to allow for variety of repose and activity. This is where you while away the hours and feel self-sufficient, and yet at a moment’s notice can abandon it to rejoin the world.
Program: flexible, according to your site/situation and the persona defined Size: 9sqm, max ht 6m.
Site A: Clementi Woods, west- and southwest-facing slopes Site B: MacRitchie Reservoir waterfront

PROJECT 03 DESIGN OF A DWELLING FOR A CLIENT AS AN ARCHITECT’S APPRENTICE This exercise expands upon the exploration in P02 on anthropometry and materials, now applied to the design of a dwelling with the following parameters: - Designing for a client (negotiation with “architect”) - Exploration of precedence in design (architect as “apprentice”, need not be from P1) Program: flexible, with the following minimum provision: - sleeping – eating/cooking – the necessary rooms (toilet and bathroom) - one or two activities/spaces as the dwelling’s special feature - ground floor commercial program (option) Design: based on an interpretation of a precedent architect, in conjunction with the client’s program requirements.
Size: max. 120sqm, max. ht. 9m Site: specified empty plot along Victoria Street at Jalan Kledek
Assessment of Project 03 is based upon the following considerations: 1. Designing for a client How have you interpreted your clients’ requirements (uses and needs, the ‘program’) and their vision of their home environment (the mood or ambience, and specified preferences)? 2. Exploration of precedence in design How have you understood and translated your precedent / master architect’s approach and design strategy? 3. Site conditions and urban context in relation to 1 & 2 How have you worked your scheme into the site you are given? Conversely, how have you worked the site into your scheme? You are asked to define which site conditions you have chosen to respond to or consider in your design decisions, and why—for example, what does your site response do for your client, or how does it enhance your translation of your precedence? 4. Architectural literacy Project 03 is also the culmination of the fundamental aspects of architectural literacy and technical competency that you have learnt through the Studio program for the whole semester: anthropometry, considerations on modules and materials/tectonics, and knowledge of drawing conventions and techniques. 5. Conceptual coherence, design sensibility, and rigour in design process.
