Project Summary

In this project we are expected to design a small free-standing building which is a studio + Bedsitter for a creative artist at a selected site. This studio should mainly respond to both the character of the artist and the art form. However, the specific features and patterns of the immediate context in which it will be built will also need to be acknowledged when the design is done. Each of us are expected to select an artist known to us. It should be someone we are able to interview, talk to and go and see how their art form is created, performed or done. This is critical since we will be required to understand and analyze the artist as our client for whom we are mainly designing this precinct for and also understand how he or she carries out activities when indulging in the artistic studio work in order for the studio to complement and provide the best possible space and atmosphere for the purpose for our client. We will also need to find a site close to our current place of residence where we are able to visit and take pictures during this fuel crisis without much travel or risk with new covid variant. The site that is selected should be not less than 10m by 15m in area since we need to fit in a 50sqm studio building in this site. Objective of this Design project is to understand the user and design for a specific user, providing architecture that will reflect their character while facilitating the best atmosphere and required space to perform the art form.
