Asian Architecture and Theory
Here's my projects done throughout this module
Project 1: Contextual Study Sketch Journal of a Traditional Street
In this project, I have to design one A4 manual sktech journal taht marks and take notes of some features of the street such as the development of the facades from time to time as well as some of the local delicacies. crafts, and unique cultures (such as the Peranakan cultures we have only in Melaka here), and etc.
​
Although I have been there few times before, I took this chance again to pay a visit back to this memorial street to conduct detailed research to really study about the development of architecture when it is affected by the collision of several different cultures including the locals itself, which makes the uniqueness of the street.
Project 1: Contextual Study Sketch Journal of a Traditional Street
In this study of a traditional street available in Malaysia, I have chosen Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock to unwind the historical background and development of local architecture over the decades as Melaka is one of the most bustling port in the past centuries, where receive cultures shock from ships over the world, which it also affected by western culture as Melaka was conquered several times by the West. So, I believe that's more interesting stories and development of architecture to be discovered.
Project 2: Poster and Seminar-Contemporary Issues in Asian Architecture
For this project, my group has chosen Petaling Street as the target to study and analyze about the contemporary issues that have arisen that threaten the existence of historical building that have to be preserved and thoughts to promote them once more to come into the publics' vision again.
​
Some issues we have discovered is that the street is unorganized from different aspects such as the low parking slot for tourists and locals; frequent traffic jam due to previous effect; lack of trash can that cause people to dump rubbish and leftovers everywhere and more and more issues to be improved.​​​

Project 2 : Poster and Seminar-Contemporary Issues in Asian Architecture
Hence, with the observation we had during our trip to Petaling Street, we have written out a proposal which talks about the moves we can take to make the Petaling Street a hotspot area again with further organized design while preserving the old, historical building with sustainable solutions.
​
With the mindset written in proposal, we have produced a poster that helps publics to know our intentions.
