Phase 1.1

The task requires conducting a townscape appraisal, a method of evaluating the visual and aesthetic qualities of a town or urban area by examining its character, identity, and distinctiveness. This involves analyzing physical features such as buildings, streets, landmarks, and public spaces, as well as their social and cultural relevance. The goal is to assess the area's strengths, weaknesses, and potential for improvement while preserving its unique character and fostering sustainable and livable environments. The study focuses on both macro and micro scales, analyzing the relationship between the site and the broader urban context, particularly Jalan Petaling and Jalan Kampung Attap, while also considering smaller immediate contexts. Students are expected to propose design solutions that enhance identity and place while addressing architectural, cultural, and environmental aspects. This process includes identifying significant features, engaging with local communities, and documenting analytical data for comprehensive evaluation and design development.
