PROJECT 1: IDEAS AND THEORIES IN URBANISM
In the first assignment, we are to acquire prior knowledge, from the literature on urbanism, before the case study visit. The theme of the Semester is ‘Tropical Cities’ and the course work focuses on the cities in Malaysia such as Kuala Lumpur, George Town (Penang) and Kuching as the case studies. In a group of 8, we are required to choose a case study city and to explore the city in both historical and contemporary phases. My group has chosen Kuching, Sarawak as our case study city.
PROJECT 2A : JOURNAL AND DIARY
This project is an individual component, we are expected to document the city spaces. We are to capture interesting and meaningful photographs related to tangible or spatial (nodes etc.) intangible or social (urban life) contexts of our selected location. My group has chosen Jalan Bukit Bintang to Jalan Alor to conduct this project. Urban design vocabulary is used to explain how we feel about our chosen location.
