Theories of Architecture And Urbanism

Part 1 Case Study (Group)

We have divided into two group under guidance of Mr. Nazmi, to complete the project of case study analysis based on the country selected. We have to choose one of the street to be analysed and understand the element of urbanism based on the contact points from the activities happened at the street. We have chosen the Charles Street, Boston area to be study as our case study where there is a lot of different activities appeared that cause a lot of contact points between people and degree of contact intensity through the circulation, landmark, nodes, and other principles. We have analyse the pattern of activity and make the diagramming based on the data obtained. From this project, I have learnt on how to determine and observe the contact points element from a different country depends on their activities occurred. I have also learnt on providing critical perspectives on key issues within the contemporary discourse of architecture through integration of case study.








Part 2 Comparative Analysis Essay (Individual)
In this project, I decided to write a comparative essay based on the similarities and difference between Charles street and Petaling Street. I have compare both of the places based on their circulation pattern, activities occurred that cause different contact points coming from the landmarks and nodes at the places. Degree of contact intensity between two areas have been varied from the analysis and taken into the comparative essay. Through this assignment, I could understand and get to know on how to able to undertake independent research on the complexity of architecture.

Synopsis (Reaction Paper)

In this project, we decided to read some articles that provided by lecturer on getting understand the theory and principle of urbanism and make a synopsis in the form of reaction paper based on the article. There will be a total of 4 different type articles that explained the understanding of design theories on the architecture by different authors. Link below shows the 4 synopsis of reaction paper that have been written after understanding to the different theme of article. Getting more reading on the articles make me more getting educated with the urbanism theories and architecture principles.
