PROJECT 1A
Preliminary Studies - ‘Townscape Appraisal’
Our first project involves investigating the character of a place (site: Petaling Street) and its potential for place-making through the 'Townscape Assessment' exercise. The goal is to evaluate the identity and uniqueness of the urban region, identifying opportunities for responsive architectural design that response to place-making and enhances the urban space on the given site. This project serves as an introduction to urban design fundamentals, focusing on assessing the urban context and its content within the proposed site.
Outcome: 8 to 10 x A1 panels, Site Model (1:100)

Reflection
It was a fun yet tiring project that ended with an exhibition in Central Market. Through this project, I learned to observe and identify the unique elements that contribute to a town's identity. From architectural styles to urban spaces, each aspect played a role in defining the town's character. Understanding these components allowed me to identify opportunities for responsive architectural design that would harmonize with the urban context and contribute to the art of place-making in the final project. Not forgetting the importance of teamwork in this group project. Lastly, a great thank you to all of my group members and especially our leader!
