With the completion of this project, I have understood that not all urban theory, whether modern or ancient, can be implemented in every city. The application depends on certain factors that would make it appropriate or otherwise.

[ToAU] Project Part 2: Analysing and Theorising Architecture
The subject emphasises architecture as a language with vocabulary, grammatical structure; both physical and intellectual. In other words, it carries messages and communicates meanings. In Part 2, Theories of chosen architects are analysed and applied to a given area of study in a 2000 word essay accompanied by diagrammatic boards.
[ToAU] Project Part 1: Analysing Self
This project asks students to select a defined area and see it “through the eyes” of one architect, urban designer or
theoretician that was discussed in the lecture series. Students are asked to apply or translate design theories and historic urban design
approaches onto this area using the chosen architect's theory. The application and translation were done through a graphical language and sketch design as well as a short reflective text of around 500 words.
Board 1
Board 2
Through this project, I have learnt to produce critical analysis of architecture and urbanism in relation to relevant theories within the contemporary discourse of architecture.
