P1B : Design Strategies and Exploration
For project 1B, we were tasked to progress by exploring the project proposal presented by the group in Project 1a, individually. The Project emphasized on ‘Sensing the City’ by immersing to the people’s and place’s needs and aspirations as we had to design an Urban Room/City Hub which will become the city’s ‘Third Place’. As our proposal for Project 1 was to have our urban room serve as a gateway to the UNESCO Heritage Site of Georgetown, we had to explore our design ideas that are within the scope of the proposal and look carefully into the functionality, effectiveness, spatial quality, and form composition of the building. A full exploration of the design had to be presented and represented in a series of sketches, study models, diagrams, conceptual/schematic 2D Drawings (floor plans, sections, and elevations) and conceptual 3D drawings. At the end of the project, we would have to pin-up and present both the full exploration and final scheme with evidence of design explorations.

P1C : the urban ROOM - Prangin Pulse
Subsequent to Project 1b Schematic Design phase, we were required to further develop and finalize the scheme for the Urban Room project. The main task was to further explore our design through tectonics, poetics and also environmental strategies while resolving further issues regarding our designs. All of our findings were to be presented in a comprehensive, systematic, creative, and comprehendible manner in the form of creative and effective architectural visualization, modelling, and report. The final outcome of the project would be 6 A0 presentation panels, a 1:200 physical model and an A3 design report that would showcase a documentation of our journey in this final studio.
