Project 1c
Final Design Presentation & Report - Individual ( 70% )
Interim Presentation
The interim stage requires us to develop and refine the design from Project 1b into a more resolved scheme. We need to integrate environmental strategies, structural concepts, materials, fire safety, architectural detailing, and building performance, and present the progress through 2D drawings, 3D views, technical drawings, and study models for feedback before the final stage.
Final Design Presentation
The final presentation requires us to produce a fully resolved architectural design that clearly communicates the project narrative, design strategies, spatial planning, technical resolution, sustainability, materiality, and relationship to the site. The final outcome is presented through comprehensive plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, axonometric drawings, technical details, presentation boards, and a physical model.

Final Design Report
The final design report requires us to document the complete 15-week design journey, from initial site studies and concept development to the final resolved design. It compiles the project background, site analysis, design strategies and exploration, technical components, final portfolio, reflective journal, and references into a comprehensive A3 landscape report.

Reflection
TGC 3.1 Think critically and creatively
Through this project, I learned to think critically and creatively when balancing design ideas with technical requirements such as building codes, environmental strategies, technology, structure, materiality, and tectonics. This process helped me understand that a successful design should not only be visually meaningful, but also sustainable, buildable, efficient, and responsive to both users and the environment.
TGC 8.1 Effective use of ICT and related technology
Through this project, I learned to use ICT and related technologies effectively to explore and communicate materiality, architectural detailing, and design ideas. Digital modelling, drafting, and visualisation tools helped me study how materials, details, and construction elements could influence the spatial experience, aesthetic quality, and innovation of my design. This allowed me to develop and present my design in a clearer and more resolved way.
