Project 2: Final Project (Community Library)
Objectives:
1. To take into consideration key aspects of urban design and context in relation to architecture
2. To develop an awareness and basic compliance to Design Codes and Statutory Requirements
3. To emphasize the importance of elevational context and composition in developing architectural design
4. To implement and explore the conceptual, schematic and design development phases in an architectural design project
Learning Outcomes:
1. Demonstrate the fundamental knowledge of Design Codes and Regulations
2. Explore plan-section and elevational studies to resolve relevant aesthetic, construction and environmental issues in the design development phase
3. Produce a design outcome that encompasses the appropriate site-specific architectural responses through its formal, cultural, legislative, structural and environmental design solutions for specific urban issues.
4. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually communicate architectural ideas and scheme

Reflection
A design must be an inclusive process that calls for tackling a myriad of issues with an ingenious solution. The design process should never be done with a tunnel vision whereby one issue is tackled at a time, but a wholesome process that takes everything into consideration. For example, when one is planning the spaces, the materiality, elevation, openings, programmatic implementations and other factors must be consistent and thoughtfully designed together along the way.
