Project 1

Reading the Contexts of Traditional Streets 

We were required to pick any street listed by the lecturer and do the research in terms of Physical Contexts & Non-physical Contexts.

And transform that information into a manual sketch journal.

Project 2

Infographic

We were required to pick choose between Malay, Chinese, Indian or Vernacular architecture of Southeast Asia and produce an infographic poster that roughly told the characteristics of that architectural style.

Project 3

Research in Asian Architecture 

We were required to do identity and issues from one of the streets from Project 1 and continue the research among Architecture and place identity, Adaptive reuse of traditional architecture, Sustainable heritage tourism & Cultural space in cities.

Once the theme is determined, we need to conduct extensive literature reviews, to identify specific issues/significance of the study and then define the specific scope of the study.

And transfer them into a poster and present it via a presentation
