The Preliminary Studies comprises of three components: Site Documentation, Site Analysis, and Precedent Studies of Urban Blocks and Art Centre. This assignment aims to introduce us to the basics in urban design in architecture, and secondly, studying and determining the programmatic function, societal role and spatial layout of an Art Centre and architectural responses for urban blocks.

 

The project is about improving the spatial and social qualities of an urban node within the Old Town of Kajang. We were required to conduct a site analysis on the town of Kajang with the guidance of Kevin Lynch's 5 points of Legibility. The information collected throughout this project will be brought onto our next project and aid us in the design process of designing an Art Centre for Kajang.
