The design of the building is to consist of appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban street context and user behavioral patterns as discerned and analysed in the Preliminary Studies.

 

Apart from developing a narrative on architectural strategy in response to the relevant questions pertaining to community and its context, the design should take into consideration a holistic application of structural, spatial, functional and environmental requirements to address the user needs for a community library. The design development of this project will include an introduction to the legislative restrictions that impact an architectural scheme, the integration of lighting and acoustic design, as well as the design exploration and detailing of the façade and building envelopes that is coherent with the architectural language of the overall design project.

​

From the project, we should be able:

1. To take into consideration key aspects of urban design and context in relation to architecture

2. To develop an awareness and basic compliance to Design Codes and Statutory Requirements

3. To emphasize the importance of elevational context and composition in developing architectural design

4. To implement and explore the conceptual, schematic and design development phases in an architectural design project
