 WEEKLY LEANING  week 1  Spatial Design refers to the practice of designing physical spaces to enhance functionality, aesthetics, and user experience. It integrates elements from architecture, interior design, and environmental design to create meaningful and purposeful environments. Enhances User Experience : Thoughtfully designed spaces improve how people interact with their environment, making them more comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable. Supports Functionality : Good spatial design ensures that spaces serve their intended purpose effectively, whether for learning, relaxation, or work. Fosters Emotional Connection : Well-designed spaces can evoke emotions, create memories, and establish a sense of belonging. Encourages Sustainability : Spatial design often incorporates sustainable practices, using materials and layouts that minimize environmental impact. Adds Value : Thoughtful design increases the value of a space, whether it’s a commercial area attracting custome...

Project3 Based on the previous survey, we now need to create a model and render it. This step will help visualize the design concept and present it in a realistic way, making it easier to assess the functionality and aesthetics of the space. If you need assistance with 3D modeling or rendering techniques Here’s the process for using Lumion to render and choose materials for colouring: Set Up Your 3D Model : Import your 3D model from your design software (e.g., SketchUp, Revit) into Lumion. Ensure that your model is clean, with proper scales and layers, to avoid issues during the rendering process. Choosing Materials : Material Library : Lumion offers a wide selection of materials like wood, metal, concrete, and glass. You can browse through the library and apply materials to specific parts of your model. Custom Materials : You can also create custom materials by adjusting settings like texture, colour, reflectivity, and bump mapping for more realistic effects. Apply Textures and Colour...

 Project 2 This week, my Project 2 assignment focuses on "Taylor Campus Lakeside Stairs." I plan to analyze and develop the project using the survey methods I employed previously. Here is some information about the stairs. Next is the analysis of the survey questionnaire. This section collects basic information about the respondents, such as their age, gender, and role (student or staff). Understanding the demographics helps tailor the lakeside design to better meet the needs of different user groups. This section aims to gather insights into how users currently interact with the lakeside area and what design elements they prefer. By understanding how often the lakeside is visited, what activities are most commonly performed, and what users look for in terms of design and features, we can better align the space with user expectations. This will help create a more functional and appealing environment for everyone who uses it. This section focuses on understanding users' p...

  Spatial design / project 1    Date: Week 1 - Week 4  Author: Wang Sai     week 1    week 2 Spatial Design and Conceptual elements of Design 2 Scope of Spatial Design : This approach transcends traditional design disciplines by focusing on the organization and flow of people within spaces. It addresses both private and public environments, exploring place identity and the unique character (genius loci) of each space. Conceptual Design Elements : Point : Represents focus points or intersections in a design. Line : Expresses direction and movement, such as the dynamic lines used in Zaha Hadid's architecture. Plane : Defines spatial boundaries and can be vertical (walls), horizontal (floors), or overhead (ceilings). Volume : Conveys three-dimensional space and mass. Biomimicry in Design : Examples like termite mounds inspire sustainable architecture, as seen in Mick Pearce’s Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe, which uses natural ventilation to reduce ener...
