This document summarizes a reaction paper by a student named Lai Tzexiuan about the article "Body, Memory & Architecture" by Kent C. Bloomer and Charles W. Moore. The article describes how architectural form is related to the human body and mind in providing a sense of identity and place. It argues that the human body was an important organizing principle in early architecture but has been eliminated from modern architectural thought. The student agrees that the human body, memories and experiences are crucial to architecture. Buildings should respond to the human body and landscape to determine boundaries and sense of place. The potential transactions between humans, imagination and environment are missing from today's dwellings. Architecture should provide a more sensory experience to stimulate

serial vision
Architecture and urban design are public art forms that people experience through their daily activities in cities. While other art forms can be avoided, people cannot choose to avoid experiencing the built environment as they move through urban spaces. Aesthetic preferences in environments are influenced by both natural and learned social and cultural factors, and Jack Nasar identified five attributes of liked environments: naturalness, upkeep, openness, historical significance/content, and order. As people experience cities through movement, Gordon Cullen's concept of "serial vision" describes how urban design can create a series of revelations and contrasts that engage observers as their viewpoint changes.

Permeability-Urban Design
The document discusses the concept of permeability in urban design. It defines permeability as the number of alternative routes through an environment, both visually and physically. Permeability is important to consider early in the design process by establishing multiple routes that link together and provide choices to urban dwellers. High permeability is a key measure of responsiveness and achieves public accessibility. While public and private spaces are complementary, a smooth transition between the two is needed. Smaller city blocks provide more choices and higher physical and visual permeability compared to large, segregated blocks with fewer routes.

Architecture & Crafts of Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat
The document summarizes the architecture and crafts of Bhuj, located in the Kachchh region of Gujarat, India. It describes the traditional Bhunga house construction unique to the area, which consists of a single cylindrical room with a conical roof supported by thick earthen walls. The roof is constructed using bamboo and straw and supported by a central wooden post. Newer Bhunga houses now use materials like stone, brick, and cement, though the basic cylindrical structural form remains. The document also provides context on Kachchh's geography, people, culture, and the city of Bhuj, known for its handicrafts market.
Minimalism in architecture
Minimalist architecture
Minimalist architecture, sometimes referred to as 'minimalism', involves the use of simple design elements, without ornamentation or decoration. Proponents of minimalism believe that condensing the content and form of a design to its bare essentials, reveals the true 'essence of architecture'.
Minimalist architecture emerged from the Cubist-inspired movements of De Stijl and Bauhaus in the 1920s. Architects such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, theorized that minimalism gave maximum power to architectural space.

URBAN DESIGN-lecture-4.pdf
Urban design involves arranging all elements of cities, including buildings, public spaces, transportation, and amenities. It considers urban patterns, building forms, streetscapes, connections within a city, movement systems, public open spaces, and infrastructure. The key elements of urban design are urban fabric, which is the physical form of cities made up of blocks and streets, building forms that define street walls and spaces, and connections within a city through visual lines and physical routes to facilitate movement.

The document summarizes the concept of the "Walking City" proposed by British architect Ron Herron in 1964. The Walking City referred to massive mobile robotic structures that could freely roam the world and interconnect with each other. Individual buildings could also be mobile. The document compares this concept to the mobile town that followed railroad construction in the US, as well as modern floating cities like aircraft carriers and cruise ships. While projects like the Freedom Ship failed, seasteading aims to create permanent floating communities outside nations' territories.
Land Use and Legibility- Urban Design Terminology
Land Use and Legibility- two basic and yet important terms used in Urban design. The definition, history and examples are listed through the presentation.
cannaught place
Connaught Place is a large financial and commercial center in Delhi developed in the 1930s based on European architectural styles. It was designed with a circular central area surrounded by seven radial roads. Originally intended for commercial and residential use, it is now solely commercial and a major attraction in Delhi hosting many public buildings, shops, and offices.
Design with nature review
Ian McHarg published his landmark book "Design with Nature" in 1969 which laid out an environmentally conscious approach to urban planning. In it, he advocated evaluating land use based on its natural characteristics and limitations rather than just economic factors. The book described McHarg's method of landscape analysis which broke regions down into their appropriate land uses based on environmental attributes. It was a pioneering work that helped launch the modern environmental planning movement. McHarg viewed nature as an interactive system with intrinsic values that should inform human development, not just be dominated by it. He saw the interdependence between humanity and natural systems like plants that support all life.

Jane jacobs
- Jane Jacobs was an urbanist and activist with no formal planning training whose 1961 book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" introduced groundbreaking new ideas about how cities function.
- She challenged orthodox planning theory and demonstrated the importance of density, mixed-use development, and local economies in creating vibrant, prosperous cities.
- Jacobs advocated an approach to city building that incorporated the opinions of local communities and saw cities as living, organic systems rather than objects to be engineered from the top-down by experts.

Christopher alexander
Christopher Alexander is an influential architect and design theorist known for developing the concept of pattern language. He authored A Pattern Language, which describes patterns that address problems in architecture, urban design and community livability. Alexander has designed over 100 buildings and his theories have impacted fields beyond architecture. He sees human-centered design as key and advocates an approach that creates living structures attuned to people's needs.
2.1_URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLES, PATTERN AND SHAPE.pdf
This document discusses the key elements and principles of urban design, including:
1. Elements of urban design include buildings, public spaces, streets, transportation, and landscape.
2. Urban design principles include permeability, variety, legibility, robustness, visual appropriateness, and richness. Permeability refers to the ease of movement through an area. Legibility means the layout is easy to understand.
3. Kevin Lynch's theory of urban legibility identified five elements that define an urban environment: paths, nodes, edges, districts, and landmarks. These elements help people navigate and understand a city.
Peter eisenman
Peter Eisenman is an American architect known for his theoretical works and deconstructivist buildings. Some key works include House VI (1972-1975), a private residence built in Cornwall, New York that experimented with manipulating a structural grid to create unconventional and conceptual interior spaces. Eisenman also designed the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin (1998-2005), consisting of 2711 concrete stelae in varying heights with narrow paths between to disorient visitors and represent the absence of meaning in the Holocaust. Another notable building is the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University (1982-1989), where Eisenman used rotated grids and figures to link the past and present through fragmented representations of the site
BROADACRE BY F.L. WRIGHT
Frank Lloyd Wright proposed Broadacre City, a decentralized urban concept, in the 1930s. It envisioned communities of single-family homes on one-acre plots connected by roads and public transport, with commercial areas integrated throughout. Wright believed this model would dissolve social failures by designing a better city structured around individual freedom and enabled by new technologies like cars. While never fully realized, aspects of Broadacre City can be seen in subsequent mid-20th century suburban development patterns in the United States.

Wz synopsis
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student on theories of architecture and urbanism. The first paper discusses Louis Wirth's theory that density and diversity are defining characteristics of cities in addition to population size. The second paper examines the idea that architecture can generate memories and identity through experiential qualities. The third paper argues that memory is embodied and architecture can preserve history by generating new experiences. The fourth paper analyzes Kenneth Frampton's theory of critical regionalism and the importance of responding to context and user experience.
Reaction paper
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student on various readings related to architecture and urbanism. The first paper discusses Louis Wirth's theory that increased urbanization led to more superficial social interactions in cities compared to rural areas. The second paper examines how human experiences and memories shape architecture. The third paper argues that experiences in spaces create unique memories for individuals. The fourth paper discusses Kenneth Frampton's theory of critical regionalism, which aims to incorporate local culture and landscapes into architectural design.

Urban Theories Synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by Tan Yincy on theories of architecture and urbanism. The first paper discusses Louis Wirth's 1938 work "Urbanism as a Way of Life" and his view that urbanism is characterized by population size, density, and social heterogeneity rather than just physical or economic factors. The second paper examines the book "Body, Memory, & Architecture" and how it depicts the formation of spaces and dwellings relating to the human body. The third paper analyzes Juhani Pallasmaa's work on how architecture can evoke memories and emotions through sensory experiences and a focus on human perception over visual or speed.
Theories of Architecture & Urbanism Project 1B
The document summarizes several academic papers on architecture and urbanism. It discusses Louis Wirth's 1938 paper "Urbanism as a Way of Life" which defined urbanization based on population density, diversity, and permanent settlements. It also summarizes papers by Kent Bloomer and Charles Moore on relating architecture to the human body, and by Juhani Pallasmaa on how architecture can preserve history and memory. Finally, it discusses Kenneth Frampton's writings on "critical regionalism" and relating architecture to the local landscape and culture through a balance of physical and cultural aspects.
Space, Place, Memory & Imagination: The Temporal Dimension of Existential Space
This reaction paper summarizes and agrees with Juhani Pallasmaa's article "Space, Place, Memory & Imagination: The Temporal Dimension of Existential Space". The paper outlines Pallasmaa's arguments that slower experiences allow for stronger memory formation, while faster modern life leads to more forgetting. It also agrees that modern architecture often removes historical elements and natural essences from places, causing "architectural amnesia". Slower, emotionally engaging architecture is needed to project memories and feelings. The paper provides a personal example of how spending more time in a place enhances memory of it.
Theories of Urbanism
- The document summarizes four reaction papers written by Nicole Foo Shuli on theories of urbanism and architecture.
- The first paper discusses Louis Wirth's theory that urbanization leads to problems like spatial segregation, impersonal interactions, and anonymity.
- The second paper examines the idea that architecture should be an "extension of human inner landscapes" and create memorable experiences through sensation.
- The third paper explores Juhani Pallasmaa's view that experiencing space and art involves embodiment that helps with memory and emotion over time.
- The fourth paper outlines Kenneth Frampton's theory of "Critical Regionalism" where modern architecture considers local context, climate, and tactile experience.
Theories of architecture and urbanism reaction paper
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student on theories of architecture and urbanism. The first paper discusses Georg Simmel's view that money has come to dominate life in metropolises, reducing relationships to superficial interactions based on calculation. The second paper examines Christian Norberg-Schulz's argument that modernism failed to connect architecture to cultural meaning, and the need to study traditional solutions. The third paper explores Juhani Pallasmaa's perspective that architecture can materialize and preserve memory. The fourth paper analyzes Kenneth Frampton's call for a critical regionalism that maintains local influence while participating in universal civilization.
Synopsis template to-au_august-2107
The document is a reaction paper summarizing four texts about architecture and urbanism.

The first summary discusses an article about critical regionalism and resisting homogenization while incorporating local traditions. The second summary describes a text about how sensory experiences and materials can make buildings unique. The third summary examines how space, place, memory and imagination are related. The last summary analyzes a piece about how the lifestyle and behavior of individuals differs between large cities and small towns.
Reaction Paper 3 Critical Regionalism
The document summarizes a reaction paper about the text "Towards a Critical Regionalism" by Kenneth Frampton. Frampton discusses balancing modern techniques with traditional forms and consideration of the surrounding natural environment to create buildings with a unique sense of place. The student agrees that critical regionalism requires moderate adaptation of modern designs with consideration of tangible context. Additionally, the student believes that architecture should engage more than just sight and should incorporate how spaces make the body and mind react through tactility. Bridging tectonics and tactility is seen as essential to forming buildings with both a universal and cultural identity.
3 a synopsis
The reader focuses on how human senses, especially sight and touch, shape architectural experiences. The author argues that architecture is experienced through multiple senses interacting, not just vision. Sight and touch unconsciously merge to give us a sense of materiality and space. The author uses examples like paintings and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater to show how works can stimulate multiple senses and create a strong sense of place. Pallasma concludes architects should design for multi-sensory experiences within a building, not just its visual design, to fully communicate the thoughts and experiences it aims to.
Project 1B Synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by a student on architectural theories. The first paper discusses Doreen Massey's view of how globalization has impacted local senses of place and questions how to rethink place in an outward-looking perspective. The second paper analyzes Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour's "Learning from Las Vegas", which examines Las Vegas Strip as a symbolism in architecture. The third paper explores Juhani Pallasmaa's view that architecture should involve a multi-sensory experience integrating all five senses to truly experience a place's genius loci.

Comparative analysis essay
The document provides an introduction and comparative analysis of the urban forms and contact points of Bugis Street and Medan Pasar in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. It discusses that Bugis Street has evolved into a more organized grid pattern with linear streets and commercial buildings, while Medan Pasar maintains an organic pattern from its original irregular shop houses. Contact points in Bugis Street, like its market, form linear interactions along streets due to its planned layout, whereas Medan Pasar's preserved historic buildings create varied chance contacts in its squares and spaces.
Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance
This document summarizes a reaction paper by a student named Lai Tzexiuan on Kenneth Frampton's essay "Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance." The student agrees with Frampton that architecture should respond to both the natural and cultural contexts of its site. This can include reflecting the local climate and materials through openings and ventilation, or drawing from cultural traditions through placements of rooms and courtyards that evoke landscape paintings. The student believes this type of regionalism is important to avoid conflicts with the site context and create tangible and intangible experiences for humans through architectural poetics and the stimulation of senses.
Urbanism as a Way of Life
Louis Wirth describes three key characteristics of cities in his essay "Urbanism as a Way of Life": population size, social heterogeneity, and population density. These characteristics define the sociological aspects of cities and can affect their social order. Wirth argues that as urban populations increase, social diversity increases, resulting in segregation among social classes and an imbalance in social structure. However, social heterogeneity also allows individuals with common interests to organize into groups to achieve shared goals, forming social relationships and order. While population size and density must be controlled to maintain social relationships, individuals play an important role in forming social groups and maintaining a society's organization.

CASE STUDY ESSAY
Panglima Lane in Ipoh, Malaysia has a rich history. It was originally known for brothels and opium dens that served tin miners in the 19th century. Over time, it became an area where wealthy businessmen kept their concubines. In 1892, half the town was destroyed by a major fire, after which Panglima Lane was rebuilt in its current layout. Today it is a tourist attraction with restored heritage buildings housing shops and restaurants. However, some traditional trades have disappeared as newer businesses move in. The architecture along the lane reflects styles from the British colonial era through to modern designs.
Church of saint vyes at la sapienza
The shapes of the Church of Saint Vyes at La Sapienza in Rome include rectangular, triangular, circular, and hexagonal forms. The architect designed the church with overlapping equilateral triangles within a circle to form a hexagonal dome, representing wisdom. The circular exterior lantern symbolizes the church's power and leads the eye upward, while its design may reference the Tower of Babel. The shapes are historically significant as they reference Pope Alexander VII's coat of arms through depictions of six mountains beneath a star, preserving his memory in the church's architecture.

Wan Choon Tong and Toon Choon Thong are two Chinese herbal shops located in different areas of Malaysia. Wan Choon Tong has been operating for 62 years in Seremban, while Toon Choon Thong has been operating for 52 years in Semenyih. Both shops sell traditional Chinese herbs and provide health consultations. However, Wan Choon Tong sees more customers daily (around 100) due to its location in a larger, more developed city. Toon Choon Thong averages 30-50 customers daily in the smaller town of Semenyih. While both shops faced challenges when starting, Wan Choon Tong had an easier time gaining regular customers as it was established earlier and

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Body, Memory & Architecture
- 1. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (HONOURS) IN ARCHITECTURE THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (ARC61303 SYNOPSIS: REACTION PAPER (August 2017) Name: Lai Tzexiuan ID No.: 0318056 Lecturer: Mr. Prince Tutorial Time: 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Reader/Text Title: Body, Memory & Architecture Synopsis No: 2 (B) Author: Kent C. Bloomer & Charles W. Moore In the article of Body, Memory and Architecture by Kent C. Bloomer and Charles W. Moore describes on understanding ofarchitectural form with human body and mind to provide sense of identity and place. Kent C. Bloomer and Charles W. Moore mention the significance of human body as the divine organizing principles in the earliestbuilt forms to its near elimination from architectural thought in today's world. Present time architects often conflict with assumptions that architecture is a specialized system with prescribed technical goals rather than a sensual artwork derived from memories and experience of human body. Therefore, based on my opinion, I agree on Kent C. Bloomer and Charles W. Moore that the human body, memories and experience are crucial in architecture. They pointed out that architectural ordering of place, path edge and pattern formed to respond to natural landscape and human body and memory. Place, path, pattern and edge determine the boundaries and the sense of identity of places. The first boundary which is a shared boundary between differentindividuals is the dwelling place where activities and events took place will form memories and experience on certain significantactivities and events. Hence, the particular dwelling place will form a memorable place due to significantactivities and events. Kent C. Bloomer and Charles W. Moore pointed out that the potential transactions between human bodies, imagination and environment are the missing elements in today’s dwelling. Inhabitation of human beings within a dwelling calls for a more sensory appreciation and experience which able to stimulate human memories. Places thatare significant to certain group ofpeople partly is because ofthe place itself is unique or certain time and events which affect a person’s body and personal experience. In conclusion, I agree on the article which states that buildings that show its special identity or spirit are important in making memorable place. The human body, memories and experience are crucial elements in architecture design. Human experience within a building is able to stimulate the senses and memories of human which make the building a memorable and significant place.
