DAB 310 : PROJECT 1 ARCHITECTURAL APPRENTICESHIP

This project underlies the understanding of architectural design which relates through the availability and analysis of exemplary knowledge.

The focus is the identification of discreet concepts in architecture; a house is an environmental filter; a house is a container of human activities; and a house is a delightful experience; all reveal themselves to be aspects essential to the understanding of architectural excellence that is argued to constants in the discourse of the discipline.

Project 1 includes the assessment items of observation and analysis exercises, contributing and leading to an integrated design of a Cabin for an Architect.

I am required to individually select three of the exemplar buildings for further study. Out of all the three, I am going to concentrate on Australian Architect, James Russell's Brookes Street House as elements from this building will be applied in cabin designing.

"James Russell embraces two historical churches to create a light-filled, lantern-like residence in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley." - Alice Hampson.

Finally this project is also concerned with architectural communication through the recognition and application of drawing excellence – connecting the observation with representation.
