We were assigned to a park in the middle of PJS7 neighbourhood as our site for the final project. Before designing processes even begin, we were required to analyse the site in order to understand its relationship with it's surrounding context, and later on analyse the possible design responses in order to aid us in design.

We were assigned to a park in the middle of PJS7 neighbourhood as our site for the final project. Before designing processes even begin, we were required to analyse the site in order to understand its relationship with it's surrounding context, and later on analyse the possible design responses in order to aid us in design.
Reflection
Analysis is important in order to thouroughly understand the conditions of a site. Through this project, we were taught how to conduct an in depth analysis of a site, as well as predicting how our proposed buildings are supposed to respond to it. This was done through creations of diagrammatic response in order to present the analysis in a clear cut manner.
housing and aged care services has been a long unresolved problem in our country. with an increase in ageing population, not many design considerations are being put into proper eldercare facilities. the pjs7 eldercare center aims to assimilate the elderly with society, without them feeling isolated and ousted.intergrating strong cultures and activities surrounding the area, the center provides the perfect new home for the elderly.

Reflection
Designing an elder care center requires careful consideration and planning, in order to meet the end users needs. The project taught us the in depth relationship between the builsing, spaces and user needs. Specific requirements were also to be met in order to make the building functional. Consideration of the surroudning context is also crucial to ensure the building is sustainable.
