Project 1: CASE STUDY PAPER 
Asian Architecture ARC 2234/ ARC60403

This project is driven by Architectural Design Studio 4, as an approach to support students’ design through extensive research within the framework of sustainability design in Asia. The sustainability design framework focuses on the building assigned for site visit, with research objectives defined through in-depth literature review, leading to a well-established case study paper structure and writing. 

 

Assessments involve oral presentation and a written paper of 3,000 to a maximum of 4000 words. The final topic of the paper should be evolved in discussion and consultation with the tutors and should be finalised by the fifth week of the course. Students will present the summary of the paper with images in class – which contains an outline of the paper covering issues and themes explored, as well as a bibliography.

Project 2: Documentation Study 
Asian Architecture ARC 2234/ ARC60403
 

This project involves the study of streets in an Asian city to understand the historical and social aspects of a city by examining the development of tradition, modernization and globalization of streets. We are required to visit streets in an Asian city to identify the architectural elemtns as visuals/ symbols that construct the semiotic interpretation of the street or its iconography. These semiotic interpretations based on culture, architecture and traditions which may have changed in the past decades due to modernization and globalization. 

 

On completion of this project, I am able to describe the historical development of the main strands of Asian architecture and identify a broad range of issues related to the historical and chronological transitions of Asian architectural history. I also learnt to interpret architectural language in relation to the development of Asian architecture and urbanism based on theme of tradition, modernity and globalization.
