PROJECT 1A

Preliminary studies – Townscape Appraisal

The goal of this project is to evaluate the character, identity, and uniqueness of a town and urban region in order to identify opportunities for producing responsive architecture design within an urban context and place-making-led urban space at the given site. Consequently, the project introduces students to the fundamentals of urban design by assessing the "content" of the urban context within the proposed site. This preliminary task examines the character of a place (town or city) and architecture for place-making through the "Townscape Assessment".

Reflection Project 1A

In this project, i am able to understand the urban theories and context that surrounds the rich cultural site Brickfields. It has open a new path of knowledge in my life to see the urban landscape differently. I am able to understand deeper on how a town planning and design should be.

PROJECT 1C

The ARC - A Social Development Center

To develop a community center based on the site and urban understanding of the place. You will concentrate on designing a Community Centre for the community in Brickfileds. The design of the building consists of appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban street context and user behavioral patterns as discerned and analyzed in the Preliminary Studies.

Final Boards

Reflection Project 1C

It has given me the opportunity to see a place more empathetically through the people, culture and context of an urban setting. I am able to respond to the needs of proposing a community center, which are needed by the locals and the underprivileged. I am grateful for this opportunity on learning something different and more engaging towards a site.
