THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (ARC 2224)

Project Theorizing Architecture

PROJECT PART I: ANALYSING SELF

Part 1 of the project is to provide information on the architect in order to comprehend personal attributes that contribute to the construction of architectural theory. This is taking account the fact that “the way in which people organize their place is related to their beliefs and their aspirations, their world view.”(Unwin, 2002)

Requirement on architect: Asian, contemporary and practice in Asia.

In a group of 3, we have interviewed Ar Fabian Tan Kean Beng and analysed his architecture works.

TASK:

Stage 1: To gather information on the architect and his/her works

a) Biodata

b) List of work + pictures + address

c) List of references

The slideshow below shows the report that we have done:

Stage 2: To Analyse ‘Self”

a) Childhood

b) Education

c) Working experience

Each member of our group has chosed one part to analyse. I have done the part of childhood.

Part 2 of the project emphasises architecture is like language with vocabulary, grammatical structure; both physical and intellectual. Through certain arrangement, it carries messages and communicates meanings. Nevertheless, in order to understand architecture, one must be aware of the conditions within which they are employed.

TASK:

Stage 3: To analyse architecture (choose a particular building by the architect) based on: (30%)

a) External contributing factors (min 3)

b) Analysis diagrams (plan, section, elevation)

c) To theorize architecture based on analysis of self & architecture
