TALES OF THREE CITIES
| ARC 61003 |
The module is about discovering the wonders of 3 cities: Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Amsterdam. We started of with choosing a desire city among the 3 cities, and analyze the city's urban pattern. We generated theories that relate to how a city was built and created, understanding the concepts and intentions behind each development and transformation. We also produce journal of sketches and photographs, sharing our perspective and significance of each city. We eventually lead to a final review of a street in Kuala Lumpur, further expanding our skills in analyzing the city.

The biggest take away from this module is to be able to learn techniques of analyzing the depths of a city, identifying its significance, its movement, is functionality and how all the systems come together as one. It was a great platform to generate our own thinking and thoughts towards a city, understanding the elements that shapes the urban world. I was able to grasps basic understanding of looking into a city and it has heighten my senses in terms of observations and capturing the elements in the city. It also taught me how a city is perceived in different perspective, and the variation of these perspective widens my horizon, at the same time redefining the formation of a city. I was able to be open in understanding how each individuals has our own interpretations of a city and it was interesting to be enlighten by new perspectives.
