PROJECT PHASE 1.1 & 1.2

Project Phase 1.1 & 1.2

The first project, Preliminary Studies, serves as a foundational exercise focused on exploring the character of a town or city and the role of architecture in place-making through the Townscape Assessment (refer to Appendix 1). This project aims to evaluate the character, identity, and uniqueness of an urban area to identify opportunities for designing responsive architecture that aligns with the urban context and promotes place-making within the designated site. It introduces students to the core principles of urban design by analyzing the ‘content’ of the urban environment within the proposed location.

BECAUSE THIS PROJECT IS A GROUP PROJECT, WE WERE TO WORK WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE. THUS, THIS PROJECT HAS ENHANCED MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS AS WHENEVER WE HAD MISUNDERSTANDINGS, WE LEARNED TO COMMUNICATE INSTEAD OF ARGUING.

Reflection

WE HAVE SEPARATED TASKS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL BASED ON THEIR STRENGTH, THUS I HAVE MANAGED TO BE SELF-RELIANT AND THIS GROUP WORK HAS HELPED ME REFLECT ON MY ACTIONS AND KNOWLEDGE.

IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL HAVE TO WORK IN A GROUP. THUS, THIS PROJECT HAS HELPED ME PREPARE FOR MY FUTURE CAREER AND I AM NOW ABLE TO PUT THEORIES INTO PRACTICE AS MY UNDERSTANDING ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE WITHIN THE FIELD OF STUDY HAS ALSO IMPROVED.
