PROJECT PART 1 : 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.

 

 

This project attempts to convey an understanding of architect’s architectural theory through a direct observation and analysis of his/her buildings. Using architecture as primary text, this project claims that the world of form is not arbitrary but displays an internal logic that has the capacity to convey meaning. Analytical illustrations are used extensively to reveal the conceptual and experiential order of the architecture.It will support students’ learning since doing architecture can be developed by studying the work of others.
