In this project, I am required to select one area and identiify its 5 elements which are based on Kevin Lynch's 'Image of the City'. The area that I have chosen to study is Petaling Jaya New Town. I have managed to identify all the five elements which consist of path, node, landmark, edge and district.
Theories of Architecture & Urbanism
Project Part 2- An Illustrated Essay with a Cognitive Mapping
In this project, I am required to produce 3 cognitive mapping which include my own and the other two should be from interviews. The area of study that I picked is the walkway between Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC Convention Centre. Then, I am required to further analyse the cognitive mapping and produce an illustrated essay. Throughout this project, I have managed to analyse architecture and urban forms in relation to relevant architectural theories. Besides that, I am able to analyse and critique the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural and intellectual context. Lastly, I have learned to produce, orally and in writing, a critical interpretation of architecture and urbanism in relation to relevant theories within the contemporary discourse of architecture.
