Contextual Architecture Study and Case Paper Study

Every student is assigned to produce a board and case study on contextual architecture in Asia region. For the first part of the project, I have chosen KLPac as the building to research on.


In this process of producing the research board, I learnt to gather information on contextual and vernacular architecture in Asia. With the acquired information, comparison and verification of contextual and vernacular architecture elements of the selected contemporary building is carried out. In addition, I am able to understand the architecture elements that responds to the context of the place.

In the second part of the assignment, a case study of the chosen topic "culture and multiculturalism affects design" was done. The research paper comprises of analysis regarding the topic with literature review done. From the process, I learnt about information gathering, in-depth analysis and citation method. It is a fruitful experiences to learn about cultures of my country and relate to design aspect.
