Reflection

IN THIS PROJECT, I HAVE LEARNED TO ANALYSE ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN FORMS IN RELATION TO RELEVANT ARCHITECTURAL THEORIES. 'THE IMAGE OF THE CITY' IS A GOOD REFERENCE FOR ME TO STUDY ABOUT THE CITY IN DEPTH. BESIDES, I AM ABLED TO ANALYSE AND CRITIQUE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND ITS SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND INTELLECTUAL CONTEXT. IN ADDITION, I HAVE ALSO PRODUCED, ORALLY AND IN WRITING, A CRITICAL INTERPRETATION OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM IN RELATION TO RELEVANT THEORIES WITHIN THE CONTEMPORARY DISCOURSE OF ARCHITECTURE.
