PROJECT 1 : CASE STUDY
Jahn Gehl in the Life Between Buildings (1971) “examined the relationship between patterns of space use, especially outdoor activities, and the spatial properties of the physical world. He introduced the concepts of necessary, optimal and social activities.
For this particular task, we were required to read Jahn Gehl’s Life Between Buildings and examine patterns of social activities in a city (Jalan Pasar Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia) and identify ‘contact points’ and to classify them by its intensities.
The objectives of this project are as follow:
1. To provide critical perspectives on key issues within the contemporary discourse of architecture, through integration of case-studies and theoretical studies.
2. To enhance the understanding of the complexity of architecture and the ability to undertake independent research
PROJECT 1 : COMPARRATIVE ANALYSIS ESSAY
Part 2 of the project we were required to write a comparative analysis essay based on findings from case study (Jalan Pasar Baru , Jakarta, Indonesia) and our local site research ( Medan Pasar KL). we were to examine the similarities and dissimilarities based on the patterns of social activities, types of ‘contact points’. And the varying degrees of contact intensity between the two cities.
