PROJECT 1:
DESIGN ESQUISSE
DISABILITY EXPERIENCE PAVILION
In this Project 1 group assignment, we are tasked and separated into groups of 2 to 3 members to deal with the understanding of material poetics in relation to user experience. It is to showcase architectural design informed by material use, environmental sustainability awareness in relation to user needs and the activities involved. It is also to inculcate understanding of basic building construction; from how structural design is a construct of architectural spatial design, to the tactile quality of materials and how they are put together to achieve spatial and formal quality.
The finalize outcome should consist ONE A1 sized, landscape poster containing:
• Investigation into the spatial needs of the chosen group of users
• Intention collages / sketches illustrating the design process
• Plan / section / elevation (minimum of one each), at 1:50 scale
• One detail section at 1:25 scale
• Axonometric assembly drawing (refer to Fig. 3) at an appropriate scale
• Diagrams / sketches indicating how the pavilion is used.
• Perspective images of the pavilion in use, with a sense of scale and materiality.

Students can utilize both digital and manual methods for the execution of the above.
Reflection
We have sketched multiple different diagrams and built models through brainstorming and critical design processes, and decided whichever our works needed improvement or allowed for the finalized outcome. At the end of this assignment, I've learned and understand the purpose of every design element & principle that may affect the spatial journey that correlates and responds to the needs of those with disabilities.
