Attachment 1 - Literature Study Checklist

The document outlines the key parameters and considerations for conducting a thorough case study analysis of an architecture project. It lists 7 main sections that should be covered: [1] site and surrounding context, [2] building form and functions, [3] circulation and zoning, [4] structure, materials and technology, [5] building services including plumbing, electrical, ELV systems and HVAC, [6] visual elements and aesthetics, and [7] applicable standards and regulations. Conducting a case study using this comprehensive checklist will allow for an in-depth examination of all relevant aspects of the project.

access, on-site and off-site factors, site size, neighboring roads, neighboring areas,
land-use, architect, competition project, architect’s intention, concept, etc..

2. FORM + FUNCTION

Built form, function, different spaces and spatial response, active and passive
functions, active and passive users and their requirements, sub-functions, different
