PRELIMINARY STUDIES.

​

Choose an urban theory based on morphological, social, functional, temporal, and visual. After that, we had to conduct a façade study on the urban walls to exemplify our understanding on positive outdoor space, edges, building scale, usages and the public realm. In addition, we were tasked to analyze two precedent studies from an international context and the other from tropical cities, to cover the aspects of a) Community Centre for the Creative City, b) tropical architecture, and c) block context.

AN ANALYSIS ON
THE NEGLECTED
MEDAN PASAR
.

In a group of 12, we were to conduct site analysis on Medan Pasar to gain a basic understanding and extract the essence of the macro site, and curate a ‘theme' to represent it in a video format, with narration. Individually, create sketches of your personal interpretation of the MACRO site. Personal interpretations of the overall identity of the site.

SITE ANALYSIS.

REFLECTION.

We were required to document, evaluate, and analyze the site's urban context of Medan Pasar, then produce boards based on the character and conditions of the site setting. The ‘Legibility Analysis’ method and the Serial Vision methodology by Gorden Cullen were newly introduced to me in this project so it took some time to get a grasp of them. However, the workshops that were provided for us were very helpful in guiding us to understand certain aspects of the project. Overall, this assignment has definitely has allowed me to generate a better understanding of how to conduct site analysis, and the definition of a urban context, such as Medan Pasar.
