XIdentifying an issue or problem within the contemporary context

XAnalyzing an architecture to identify a problem or solve a problem

Solving an issue in a broader context outside of architecture: presenting a theory/manifesto

Solving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a design method

Solving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a theory

Others:

Please complete the following:What are the issues addressed?

1. Putting too much thought into design Overdesigning2. Prioritizing the aesthetic of a building

What are the design methods/strategy/theories proposed?

1. Design necessary spaces 2. Openings and furniture should be designed together with the architecture

3. Buildings must sit in harmony with the site ( colour scheme and materials )

4. Simplicity in design

Relate the text to architectural/urban forms by illustrating one key image.Justify the selection.

1. Clean simple lines

2. Respects the site context (Material and colour scheme)

3. Well integrated design
