Architectural Design: Case Studies of Innovative Designs

This report explores how innovative architectural designs affect architectural design, using case studies of buildings in Melbourne, including the Chau Chak building, Science building, Swanston building, Melbourne design school and the RMIT Design Hub. The analysis focuses on how these buildings challenge traditional design concepts and incorporate new ideas, such as spatial connectivity, use of contrasting materials, and sustainable technologies. The case studies illustrate the importance of understanding the project scope, adopting new innovations, and sparking creative thinking. The report highlights striking features of each building, such as the fluid brick façade of the Chau Chak building, the organic forms of the Science building, the bold colors and geometry of the Swanston building, and the adaptable design of the RMIT Design Hub, providing insights for students to incorporate into their own designs. Desklib provides past papers and solved assignments for students.
