Project 1- Life Between Buildings
In this project, we are required to present an in-depth and analytical research study on the designated topic. We are to explore the idea of “Life Between Buildings Using Public Space” (1986) by Jahn Gehl. The project consists of 2 parts; first is a case study and the second part is to produce a comparative analysis essay.
Project 2 - Comparative essay
Part 2 of the project requires students to write a comparative analysis essay based on findings from the case study (Part 1) and local site research (Design Studio). Students are to examine similarities and dissimilarities based on the patterns of social activities, types of ‘contact points’. And the varying degrees of contact intensity between the two cities
Project 2 - Reaction paper on Readers
We were also required to read through 3 series of architecture related readers given by the lecturers and digest by our own interpretations. The following readers are "Towards a New Architecture", "Complexity and contradiction in architecture" and "The geometry of feeling Juhani Pallasmaa". The visions of these authors are interesting and quite inspiring in showing their own way of perception towards architecture evolvement. For me, I enjoyed reading these, especially the second reader.
