theories of architecture and urbanism

project 2: comparative analysis essay

Based on findings from our case study of Quiapo, Manila and our studio's local site research on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, we analysed the similarities and dissimilarities based on the patterns of social activities, types of ‘contact points’ as well as the varying
degrees of contact intensity between the two cities.

 

Upon completion, we are able to critique on architecture and urban forms in relation to relevant architectural theories by analysing the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural and intellectual context. An interpretation of urbanism in relation to relevant theories within the contemporary discourse of architecture is synthesized.
