precedent study & analysis

This project focuses on investigating historical works to enrich architectural design and ideas. Through the study of existing buildings, we need to communicate and expand our architectural vocabulary and develop design concepts.

 

In a group of 5/6, we are required to conduct precedent study analysis on a given specific building through an on-line forum discussion. This precedent study analysis clarifies the research question of “why” that specific building is historically, culturally and architectural importance; and “how” the design concepts derived from that particular building can be developed to be innovatively integrated into other projects.
