PROJ 2: A Comparative Analysis Essay 

The project requires us to write a comparative analysis essay based on findings from case study (Part 1) and local site research (Studio). Students are to examine similarities and dissimilarities based on the patterns of social activities, types of ‘contact points’. And the varying degrees of contact intensity between the two cities. A comparative analysis essay is a commonly used type of writing assignment where students are require to critically analyze any two subjects, finding and pointing out their similarities and/or dissimilarities. Students are expected to research for information from publications, internet and other relevant sources. For local site, students are expected to conduct own site observation (Studio)

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
