M.ARCH DESIGN STUDIO SITE ISSUE DRIVEN THESIS
In the design thesis studio, the research methodology began with a chosen site where its urban context and the surroundings studied thoroughly and in-depth to grasp the proximity to reality as a practice to the real world, along with discussions upon issues existed within the community. The relevancy of the surroundings to the thesis topic allows programs to derive as well as the owners of site and clients to be explored. The design process involved studies analysed and later synthesised into a conceptualised scheme with further exploration in detail via various aspects with a collective set of drawings as a complete “built“ design thesis project. Along with my studies throughout the year, a collective and collaborative process that involves fellow studio mates, studio masters and visiting critics had contributed to the developing process cyclically and iteratively, as well as experimental. The journey of learning had been fruitful, and I cannot be more grateful for the guidance and advice that shaped the design thinking as well as the entire design research proposal.
