The subject is designed to analyse and interface property analysis and architectural design in a real life context. With that objective, the subject will interact with a MSD Architecture Studio C, D, E. at two stages – during Week 1 and then during Weeks 9 and 10 of semester 2 teaching period . It has two major components (i) to develop a design brief based on desktop and field research on property preferences, affordability, price budget and financing structure of the target group, for architects who will then produce innovative property design alternatives; (ii) to conduct feasibility and marketability analysis on various alternative designs proposed. The analysis will determine the “marketability”, “price band”, “affordability range” and “possible financing mechanisms”.

- Develop a design brief based on sound research;

- Work within their own team as well as with design teams, understand the studio-based learning environment, applying skills and communication in real case exercises.
- Evaluate, organise, exchange and bring together associated issues that are related to market, property value, affordability, financing and design.
