Project 1: Contextual Study Sketch Journal of a Traditional Street
In this assignment, we are required to choose one of the traditional streets from the given selections and make a sketch journal with a written summary of that street. This assignment expected us to write the tangible qualities of architecture & spaces and the intangible socio-cultural attributes of the chosen streets.
This project had taught me to understand the specific context that construct the distinctive place identity and socio-cultural meanings of the traditional streets.
Project 2: Poster and Seminar-Contemporary Issues in Asian Architecture
In this assignment, we are required to make a poster based on the salient issues observed from our site visit. First, a framework is developed through weekly facilitated tutorials that lead to the proposal of potential solutions where our findings were presented.
This project has taught us to develop critical thinking skills and interpretations of the salient issues of globalization in the Asian architectural scene through a problem-solving approach and group discussions
