Project 3 (Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality+ Context + User: Tropical Solitary Haven)
Aligned with the ARCASIA COVID-19 Guidelines, for this final project, we were to design a solitary haven at Wawasan Recreational Park, Puchong. Solitary haven denotes ‘a structure that is designed for a clean and healthy living and working environment with access to nature to boost the immune system and improve psychological wellbeing. The structure should be within the built-up space of maximum 100sqm and be able to accommodate 2 people, including myself and a family member comfortably in a short spend of solitary time... The Solitary Haven must correspond to the immediate site context. The relationship between our design and the context is important in making our architecture unique to its landscape and activity. The design of the structure must demonstrate our design intentions through the application of architectural principles, materiality and constructability in creating a memorable spatial experience for the user(s).
