PROJECT PART 1 & 2: WE ARE REQUIRED TO PRESENT AN IN-DEPTH AND ANALYTICAL RESEARCH STUDY ON THE DESIGNATED TOPIC. WE HAVE TO EXPLORE THE IMAGE OF A CITY BASED ON KEVIN LYNCH’S MOST FAMOUS WORK, THE IMAGE OF THE CITY (1960). THE PROJECT CONSISTED OF 2 PARTS; THE FIRST IS TO IDENTIFY LYNCH’S 5 ELEMENTS; PATH, EDGES, DISTRICTS, NODES AND LANDMARKS WITHIN A SELECTED CITY AND THE SECOND PART IS TO PRODUCE AN ESSAY WITH A COGNITIVE MAP OF THE CITY.
PROJECT PART1
IDENTIFYING 5 ELEMENTS _ CHINATOWN, KUALA LUMPUR
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.
