Project 1b: Experience & Capture
In this project, we are to collect data regarding of our site. The data has to be in accord with our chosen topic which is Architectural and urban language. Therefore, an actual studio tour need to be conducted. The methodology of our collection of data involves taking meaningful photos on the spot and also research via world wide web afterwards.
There are two methods of documentation:
1. .A-4 Sketch book (with captions or annotations) which contains a documentation of our experiences with our chosen theme. Experiences and understanding of the site should be documented in a journal, and submitted as an appendix to our final exhibition submission.
2.Photo book (with captions or annotations) At least (10) photographs which clearly and creatively captured in regard to our chosen topic. These photographs should be well composed and deliver the perception of the theme.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
1. Write a short research proposal.
2. Document the urban and cultural facets of the city in relation to architecture and the built environment.
3. Analyze and interpret the urban and cultural facets of the city in relation to architecture and the built environment.
4. Produce creative production to visualize and represent research outcomes.

Project 2: Analysis and Interpretation
Upon the return of our tour around our site, we need to analyze and interpret the documentation we have gathered during the study tour and with the aid of world wide web for additional research and information. For the submission, we are to produce a research poster based on our theme.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
1. Analyze and interpret the urban and cultural facets of the city in relation to architecture and the built environment
Presentation Poster
Project 3 Presentation +Exhibition
For the final project, we are required to materialize our own understanding and analysis into a creative production for the final exhibition, which manifests and visualizes from our own interpretation. Creative production refers to the visualization of our research into tangible model or artwork with a creative and experimental manner.
Learning Outcome of this Project
1. Analyze and interpret the urban and cultural freed of the city in relation to architecture and the built environment
