PROJECT//01
Preliminary Studies
The Preliminary Studies is a preparatory assignment that focuses on investigating basic notions of the city, and learning from examples of Learning Centre around the world. This assignment aims to firstly introduce students to the basics in urban design and its relation to architecture, and secondly, studying and determining the programmatic function, societal role and spatial layout of a Learning Centre and architectural responses for urban infills.
The Preliminary Studies comprises of three components: Site Documentation, Site Analysis, and Precedent Studies of Urban Infills and Learning Centre. And our given site is located at Jalan Stesen 1, Klang.

MODULE OUTLINE//
SYNOPSIS
Architecture Design Studio V focuses on the theme of place-making for the urban community. It aims to explore urban conditions pertaining to movement, events and spaces within urban street context and to provide appropriate architectural solutions in designing a learning centre for the urban community, for the city’s inhabitants. We will begin by conducting preliminary studies in that introduces them to the studies and context of urbanity through the analysis and documentation of the current urban condition through legibility analysis of a selected inner-city site. This will be done in concurrence with the research of urban infill and learning centre precedents, and their architectural responses. By the end of the module, we will have developed an appropriate scheme for an urban contemporary learning centre within a dense inner-city street environment that takes into consideration an understanding of applicable current legislations, building technologies and cultural imperatives of the site and its surroundings. The definition of place-making is seen as a proposal that is sensitive to the context, local character and distinctiveness of the space. We are to design a learning centre as an attempt to place-making.

FINAL PROJECT//02
By this time of the semester, we should be able to find our positions to develop the Learning Centre. We are to individually interpret the idea of ‘Learning Centre’ and come up with architectural strategy for the same. This will be in-reflection to the issues and inspirations we found in the Project 1 in order to offer to character, continuity and enclose, quality of public realm, ease of movement, legibility, adaptability and diversity in the city. Architecture is about geometry. Exploration on form-typologies such as linear, perimeter and diffused in terms of layering, subtraction, over-lapping etc is compulsory at this stage.
