TALES OF THREE CITIES (ARC 3113)

Project 2b Mapping the Townscape

 

SINGAPORE

We are required to document the spatial form of the city to note the key spatial experience that is driven by the urban form and content.

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 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.

We are required to a) illustrate the urban distinctive character by formulating your own theory of understanding, 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.

 

The study areas for the Assignment are the historic cores of Singapore. The aim is to coin our own theory for the city.

The objectives are to: a) characterize the urban forms; b) establish the significance of axiality in the layout and design; and c) illustrate the urban distinctive character through conceptual standpoint.

 

THREE CITIES: TALES OF WISH

We also a) present the tales of our wishes and b) evaluate through the comparison of three cities. This part comes from virtual exploration of the local power groups.
