For this particular task, students are to read Jahn Gehl’s Life Between Buildings (Chapter 1). Subsequently, the students are to examine patterns of social activities in a city (foreign city to be provided by instructor*) and identify ‘contact points’. We are to classify the varying degrees of contact intensity. Students are expected to research for information from publications, internet and other relevant sources.

​

From this project, we are able:

1. To provide critical perspectives on key issues within the contemporary discourse of architecture, through integration of case-studies and theoretical studies.

2. To enhance the understanding of the complexity of architecture and the ability to undertake independent research
