Life and Death of a Measured House<br />
ARC105 Small-Scale Space Design is the second studio module in the<br />
undergraduate programme. It is run in the second half of semester 1<br />
for seven weeks. The course introduces students to non-linear design<br />
processes and ways of approaching design, which include making,<br />
reflection, and re-making. In the “Life and Death of a Measured House”<br />
installment of the module, students actively engage in a small-scale<br />
design project which negotiates between the physical house as a family<br />
dwelling space and the metaphysical house as a catalyst of emotion.<br />
The theme of measurement is developed from the background of the<br />
eight poems of Lu Ban, and taken as a clue to explore the possibility of<br />
architecture to frame but not limit.<br />
A full-scale string survey of a room inaugurates the design process. The<br />
survey facilitates a sensibility to human-scale and analytical awareness<br />
of space including both its measurable attributes and atmosphere. By<br />
drawing and making tools to produce and present design ideas, students<br />
actively engage in experimentation with form and articulation of<br />
building structure through a variety of media. A fixed point scenographic<br />
drawing extends creative processes from a conceptual centre through<br />
interior domestic dwelling space and into a painted landscape. The<br />
selected small-scale spaces, through their particular reflexivity, reveal<br />
how buildings themselves can meaningfully become a poetic kind of<br />
measurement of their context.<br />
