Reflection:

To be honest, I though that this will be a very boring class especially when it talks about theory. Yet I found that my tutor, Mr Lam is a quite an interesting tutor, the example and explaination he talk about had brought my consideration as a designer to a whole new level and I like synopsis writing because I think it is fun especially during tutorial discussion

Project : Image of The City

We are reuiqred to present an in-depth analytical research study on the designated topic, to explore the image of a city based on Kevin Lynch's most famous work , The Image of The City (1960). The project consisted of 2 parts, the first part is to identify Lynch's elements; parth, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks within a selected city and the second part is to produce an eessay with a cognitive mapping of the city.

Part A : Identify the 5 elements

Part B : A cognitive mapping of the city and an essay

Reflection:

I find the project is interesting, slipping out from busy schedule ahead as an architecture student, I have to pay more attention on my surround as to achieve my dream to be a great architect in the future. I explored a lot of user habit, experience and even perception of a public reacting to the urban context especially public facilities.
