“ Theories of Asian Architecture "

Project 1.

Contextual Study Sketch Journal of a Traditional Street

In this project, we are required to individually pick a traditional street to study its various contexts while carrying out a site visit and providing a hand-drawn sketch journal in the context of the intangable and tangable qualities of architecture, interior spaces, the inhabitants and historical events.

After the project, I’ve learned how to appreciate the heritage that Jalan Tun HS Lee has left behind for the people and the acknowledgment of the significance of tangible and intangible characteristics as how it has provided the place its own unique identities and cultural values. There is a lot of room for improvement myself when it comes to expressing ideas into sketching things on paper, and I wish that I could colour better in the future as I do not have the confidence to colour my drawings as I would make a lot of mistakes but this that would improve my language of drawings furthermore.

Poster and Seminar - Contemporary Issues in Asian Architecture

We were asked to produce a research-based poster and presentation video in this project in a group of 7 where we focused on addressing the issues and solutions regarding to the context of the chosen topic and to convey through our study findings.

I've learned a lot of things from working on this project. Where it was the first time I learned about constructing a conceptual framework and it has taught me how to think deeper and into the details rather than just thinking in a straightforward method. Before, I had no clue that adaptive reuse involves preserving the original values and needs to have considerations of its economical development status or implementing the local laws. It is an eye-opening experience for me to learning how to study and observe things from different perspectives in the depth of every significant fields and learn the ways of communicating them in a written research format. The issue I’ve had was mainly time management as the assignment was due in such a short period and my group couldn’t get many things done within the timeframe we planned so we didn’t have really have to the chance to work in full efficiency and fully utilize our own unique skillsets.
