'The Social Life of Public Spaces'

Take a look at this classic study by William H. Whyte of how people populate and behave in outdoor public space. Think about how sun and temperature can be controlled in your designs...

Site Model

I have been receiving some questions regarding the extent of the site model.  See the attached file (A1 Scale 1:600 pdf) for reference only (the shophouses on the right side are not the Address condo) but at A1 size and scale 1:600 the context model should include the canal and airport link.  If you have been instructed to work in another format by your instructor, this information may not apply and verify with your instructor the details.

This semester, other scales might be needed based on individual concepts but we will be working on models at a Minimum of two scales.
Scale 1:600 to show massing in urban context (can be shared between groups)
Scale 1:200 Building model (individual)

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best,
