PROJECT PART A: CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE STUDY
IN A GROUP OF 5-6 PERSONS, WE WERE ASKED TO IDENTIFY A BUILDING IN ASIA IN AN SUB-URBAN CONTEXT WHICH WE INTENT TO INVESTIGATE THROUGH OBSERVATION AND READINGS ON CONTEMPORARY CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE PRACTICES AN ISSUES IN ASIA. THEN, EACH OF US ASSIGNED TO CONDUCT ANALYSIS ON ITS CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE ELEMENTS BASED ON THE SELECTED BUILDING BY USING THE FRAMEWORK BELOW:
1) SPACE ORGANIZATION AND ACCESS HIERARCHY
2) SKYLINE, COMPRESSION AND HEIGHT
3) FEATURES RELATED TO THE FORM OF THE BUILDING
4) BUILDING MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS
5) IMAGE MAKING ELEMENTS
ALL THE FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE PRINTED IN AN A2 BOARD.
PROJECT PART B: CASE STUDY PAPER
IN THE SAME GROUP OF PROJECT PART A, WE NEED TO IDENTIFY A SPECIFIC TOPIC AND THEN DEFINE SPECIFIC SCOPE OF STUDY BY USING THE SAME BUILDING FROM THE PREVIOUS PROJECT. THEN, WE WERE REQUIRED TO GENERATE A GOOD RESEARCH TITLE THAT REFLECTS THE RESEARCH INTENTION AND SPECIFIC SCOPE OF STUDY. WE NEED TO PRODUCE A RESEARCH STUDY ACCORDING TO THE TITLE THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED.
THROUGH THIS PROJECT, I HAVE LEARNT TO ANALYSE AND DISCUSS IN DEPTH ON THE SELECTED RESEARCH AREA BASED ON THE SELECTED BUILDING, WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF CONTEXTUAL ARCHITECTURE. I HAVE MANAGED TO IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS OF CONTEXTURAL ARCHITECTURE THROUGH INVESTIGATION ON THE SELECTED BUILDING.
