E-PORTFOLIO
Project 1a:Research Proposal
Re-presenting Place is an elective module which introduces urban planning students to methods for observing, interpreting and representing the urban environment. Through various lenses of urban design, our surroundings can be understood and expressed within a framework of four methods of professional practice: observation and engagement, analysis and synthesis, urban design tools, and representation through publication. The morphology of the city and the interrelationship of built form, circulation networks, open space and natural systems will be the primary subject of this course.
Research Proposal (Group)
Students are required to draft a research proposal to structure and develop research ideas. As a response to the first lecture - An Introduction to Re-presenting Place, the proposal shall include the following items:
1. Methodology
2. Processes
3. Parameter Survey
The research proposal must include justification on the proposed methodology, processes and parameter surveys, and to be accompanied with example of studies and literature reviews on relevant topic of studies.
Project 1b:Research Structure
Students are required to draft a research proposal to structure and develop research ideas. As a response to the first lecture - An Introduction to Re-presenting Place, the proposal shall include the following items:
1. Methodology
2. Processes
3. Parameter Survey
The research proposal must include justification on the proposed methodology, processes and parameter surveys, and to be accompanied with example of studies and literature reviews on relevant topic of studies.
Project 2:Interpretation and Analysis
From the approved research proposal and research structure, you are required to expand your research and develop detail contents of it in the form of:
1. Photographic inventory
2. Drawings and sketches
3. Collages, diagrams or other graphical representations
4. Other visual communication methods
This part of the research process require you to creatively and innovatively interpret and analyze issues and potentials of your site and how strategic methods of representing that particular place will assist in better understanding the place’s zeitgeist, context and genius loci within specific intention of research and studies.
