CONTEXTUAL STUDY SKETCH JOURNAL OF A TRADITIONAL STREET
Project 1
This project introduces ways of reading the important "lexicons" of traditional streets through the tangible qualities of architecture and space, and the intangible socio-cultural attributes. It enables students to understand the specific contexts that construct the distinctive place identity and socio-cultural meanings of the traditional streets.
Objectives of Project
To demonstrate understanding of place contexts and how they construct the place identity and socio-cultural meanings.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
Discuss the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural, and intellectual context within the Asian region.
TASKS
In this project, we were required to conduct a site visit to do research on on the chosen traditional street. We were then tasked to create a sketch journal on the physical and non-physical contexts of the street from the observations made during the site visit.
This project was a great learning experience because I learned a great deal about place identity and how the physical and non-physical contexts of a place affects its identity.
