PROJECT 1 - CASE STUDY

​

The first project of the Semester V module, Theories of Architecture and Urbanism, was a group project that revolved around a in-depth case study and analytical research of the designated topic of a specific location.

​​​

Linked to the theory of “Life Between Buildings Using Public Space” by Jahn Gehl, the project is split into two parts. This first part is a case study whilst the second is a comparative analysis essay.

​

Jan Gehl's Life Between Buildings is basically our bible in this module, as it demonstrates to us the value of urban life, how it functions and how it has come to be. In our own studio 5 tutorial groups, we are given a city and are to analyze it in within the context of Jan Gehl's urban theory.

We were given Beijing, China, and used various tools and websites to come up with the below A2 sized report.
