POSTER & SEMINAR-CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN ASIAN ARCHITECTURE

Theories of Asian Architecture

The objectives of this project:

To develop critical thinking and interpretations on the salient issues of globalization in the Asian architectural scene through problem-solving approach and facilitated group discussions.

Task

In this assignment, our group of seven members is tasked with selecting one of the streets previously studied in our project. We delve deeper into understanding the chosen street through thorough online research and site visits. Following this, we organize and categorize the collected data into a conceptual framework, identifying keywords, issues, proposing solutions, and researching pertinent questions. As a culminating group activity, we create a video presentation that encapsulates our research findings and insights. This video serves as a comprehensive representation of our collective research and offers a dynamic medium to communicate our findings effectively.

PROGRESS OUTCOME

Site Visit & Researches

In our team, we have selected Jalan Tun H.S. Lee as our chosen street. To gain a comprehensive understanding, we conduct further research online to supplement our existing knowledge. To ensure accuracy and clarity, we also conduct site visits to Jalan Tun H.S. Lee. This hands-on experience allows us to verify and enhance our understanding of the street, enabling us to develop a more comprehensive analysis. By combining the information gathered from previous research, online sources, and site visits, we can delve deeper into the street's nuances, identify potential issues, and propose suitable solutions. This collaborative and multi-faceted approach ensures that our team gathers a holistic understanding of Jalan Tun H.S. Lee and develops well-informed insights for our project.

Schedule Planning

We divided tasks among group members to efficiently complete the assignment. Each member was assigned specific responsibilities, such as developing the composition of board, designing the poster, editing the video, and researching background of site. We collaborated and supported each other throughout the process, offering assistance and guidance whenever needed. This collaborative effort fostered a productive and supportive environment, allowing us to overcome challenges and complete tasks effectively. By working together and leveraging our individual strengths, we ensured that each aspect of the assignment was successfully accomplished within the given timeframe. The synergy within our team allowed us to produce a cohesive and well-rounded final outcome.
