In Architectural Design IV, themed “engaging environment and community,” the studio focuses on designing sustainable projects that benefit both people and the environment. Students work on projects for specific communities, considering environmental conditions and sustainability. They study precedents of responsive design to address natural elements like sun, wind, heat, and cold, and consider site features, socio-cultural events, and passive design strategies. The goal is to create designs that harmonize with the environment and provide a positive experience for the community. Students must apply knowledge from previous Architecture and Environment modules and integrate research from the Asian Architecture module, aiming to foster a sense of community through their designs.
