Assignment 2b : Mapping the townscape

Introduction

The students are required to document the spatial form of the city to note the key attributes that drive the urban form. The objectives are: a) to characterize the urban forms through Serial Vision; b) to establish the relationships and roles of the three urban design elements and c) to identify DISTINCTIVE aspects or patterns in in their layout. The students will be given with basic urban study techniques such as figure/ground, serial vision, collage city, space syntax, etc. Therefore the students are required to analyze and apply those techniques in order to evaluate the spatial (tangible) and/or social (intangible) patterns in the city. You are required to a) illustrate the urban distinctive character, b) present the tales of your wishes and c) evaluate through the comparison of three cities. The submission format will be online and digital reports.

Objectives of Project

The objectives of the project are as follows:
 To experience the urban space and take part in urban life
 To allow the students to explore the potentiality of space, form and their relationship to aspects of use and cultural meaning

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify, discuss and critique various urban design theories and ideas.
2. Explain how ideas, cultural values (intangible) and topography and other site conditions (tangible) can offer to significant perceptions and experiences.
3. Record through and present the fundamental urban research techniques in spatial and perceptional studies.
