PHASE 1 -PRELIMINARY STUDIES - TOWNSCAPE APPRAISAL & MINI URBAN INTERVENTION
BRIEF
In order to comprehend the site's character, identity, and sense of place, each tutorial group must conduct a Townscape Appraisal. They will do this by examining the site's physical, cultural, and social features at both the macro (city) and micro (street) scales. They will then use the results to guide thoughtful design choices. The group must also suggest a small-scale urban intervention at a chosen micro-site in Brickfields that uses inclusive and sustainable design strategies that address the local community to enhance local identity, stimulate social interaction, and activate underutilised spaces.
Reflection
Our delayed progress on this project was a major source of worry for me. However, our study was guided by having a comprehensive understanding of the urban evaluation prior to beginning the investigation. I am appreciative of my coworkers because we were able to finish the project mostly because many of them were able to work independently on their allocated jobs.
FINAL BOARD
Reflection on Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities (TGC)
Discipline-Specific Knowledge (TGC 1):
The assessments allowed me to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios. In Project 1, understanding the cultural and contextual nuances of the site deepened my grasp of professional practice and ethical design principles. Phase 1 enhanced my ability to apply discipline-specific knowledge by creating functional, culturally sensitive architectural solutions.
