so entry kali ni, isinya ilmiah.
im going to tell you about what we learned in studio 01 which is Urban Design.
sebelum nak faham apa itu urban design kena faham dulu apa itu architecture sedalam dalamnya. dan kena jugak faham apa itu regional or town planning. because this wil go quite detail. like a advance lecture for introduction to urban design. lol. jk
but still its detail.
ok i assume you all already know what architecture is all about. to make it simple, architecture is vast, but specifically about building and the human interaction. its both technical and aesthetic.
Planning (town/rural/regional planning) is also mainly architecture, but in bigger scale. Design large scale, mosty the zoning, also mostly technical. Planning , like architecture is build everything from scratch. Urban Design on the other hand, enhancing things that are already there. mostly by injecting programme to the existing urban context (usually its the city/town), to eradicate the current problem and make it viable til the future according to the planned projection.
Urban Design is like a bit both combination of architecture and planning There are no accurate definitve statement to urban design, just like architecture. its vast. but unlike architecture nor planning, its not too technical. Urban design is the process of shaping the physical setting for life in cities, towns and villages. It is the art of making places. It involves the design of buildings, groups of buildings, spaces and landscapes, and establishing the processes that make successful development possible. The basic fundamental for Urban Design to to think. its more like a philosophy. We design according to the issue & potentials, theories. by that, producing design strategy, typology, morphology and the the actual design. The things that we touch on urban design mainly its about how to create a vibrant city.
For example a city is not lively enough, so what is the issue there, the problems that make the city unlively? maybe its because there are no public ammenities. so that is the issue that we should tackle. and we identify the potential and make do what's there, utilising it to our favour and develop it. for example there are pedestrian walkway that link a lot of place but the people did not use it. so we can enhance it so people will use it, to promote walkability and more lively and vibrant city life. so the strategy is we make a public park, for the people can have grrem open space for view, a leisure, etc. we can enhance, beautify, and create more pedestrian walkway so people will use it. Those two complement each other and will pursue the same goal of creating a vibrant city.
that is only one example. Its very hard for us architecture based to grab the concept of Urban Design. To tune our head and to think like Urban Designer, rather that architecture. The architecture scenic view that we from the architecture student however, have certain similarities. mostly design ideas & design elements. For instance, to inject a programme to a certain area, for example, park we need the necessary design elements such as more seatings, landscape elements of hardscape and softscape, boulevard or plaza, installation, etc. The flow of people, the views, path, quality of space etc.
in terms of education, The analysis of the urban design is a bit like architectural but now it evolves to infographic. you know how nowadays infographic is a thang yea. I think the most technical you can get about urban design is the financial part. not really about the technical & realism of it, but basic consideration of the ROI(reutnr of investment) example who the developer, who will fund the porject & development, and what kind of benefit that entity will get, how long and how much will take to collect to get tback the initial capital, based on the projection that we set up. As long as its viable and have a little study based on fact and figures. sometimes it is fabricated. of course, nama pun tgh study kan.
Speaking about the final product, . And the the urban design final product mostly collages of pictures to form design. because basicly you did not design building, or facade, or the space inside, only the general idea of those things. so you just match any photo and edit it to suite the context and collage everything, put all the people,s cars, shadows and everything like architectural perspective..
