project 1A
townscape appraisal
preliminary studies - pudu
In this project, we perform a in depth urban site analysis of Pudu as a tutorial group. It is a foundational task focused on exploring the character of a place—whether a town or city—and its architecture. This project aims to assess the character, identity, uniqueness, atmosphere and community of a town and its urban area, identifying opportunities for creating architecture that responds to the urban context and contributes to place-making as well as emphasizing on SWOT analysis. It opens students to the basics of urban design by evaluating the content of the urban context within the designated site.
reflection
Through this project, I have enhanced my teamworking skills as we are to gather data for site analysis in a group. The emphasis on SWOT analysis made me realize how useful it can be for a in depth site analysis and as a foundation for my individual design project. Since I am tasked with discovering and researching the responsive environments of Pudu, I have gained knowledge on how to effectively perform analysis on visual and physical permeability, robustness, placemarkers, richness, personalisation and variety within a site which has effectively assist me on coming up with design response for my final project.
