Kenneth Frampton discusses critical regionalism in architecture in the article. He argues that modernization favors flattening topography for efficiency rather than embracing local terrain, and that universal techniques prioritize commodity over place. However, careful design can inscribe regional character through elements like window placement, local lighting, and tactile surfaces. Cooperation between tectonics and tactile experience can resist universal techniques and affirm regional poetics grounded in culture and nature. While the conclusion does not fully return to critical regionalism, the discussion provides good references on embracing site and autochthonous culture rather than dominating with universal techniques.

THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (ARC61303/ARC2224)
SYNOPSIS: REACTION PAPER (AUGUST 2016) [10 MARKS]
NAME: Koh Kar Yi ID: 0320567
LECTURER: Mr. Lam Shen Fei TUTORIAL TIME: 4pm – 6pm
SYNOPSIS NO: 4 READER TITLE: “Towards a Critical Regionalism
AUTHOR: Kenneth Frampton (1981)
From the last two points of “Towards a Critical Regionalism”, Kenneth Frampton discusses the
reduction of artwork to commodity, a universal technique that brings about the condition of
placelessness; and the priority ofthe tectonic over the scenographic,
Modernization favors the tabula rasa approach to flatten irregular topography, optimizing the
economy ofearth-moving equipmentand also making an easy way for the layoutofbuilding. In contrast
with that is the terracing of topography as an engagementto embrace the site. He discusses about
climatic response,paying attention to the light condition. The window as the most delicate elementin
architecture at which light and climate control have a greateffect on, can inscribe the character ofthe
region through its placement in the wall. Curators favor the use of artificial lighting and avoid local
lighting. The opposite ofthis is the careful cooperation oflocal lighting and building design so that it
can guarantee the place-conscious poetics, revealing the interaction between culture and nature.
Besides the fixed window, the ubiquitous air conditioner is also an indication ofdomination ofuniversal
technique over autochthonous culture.
Tectonics is the poetics ofconstruction. The brick stairs affirm the foot as it meets each tread while
the timber floor gives another reading in which he describes the use a tactile surface's ability to make
legible the architecture. The tactile can be translated in terms ofexperience itself,butnot the reduction
to simple representation. He concludes that the cooperation oftectonic and tactile has the capability
to resistthe influence ofuniversal technique.
In conclusion, I felt that the last point of the text does not bring back to the discussion of critical
regionalism although the expression of the significance of tactile quality is undoubtedly evident.
Nevertheless, the ideas discussed remain good reference.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/synopsis4-161216045315/85/Synopsis-4-1-320.jpg)

Synopsis 3
The document summarizes a reaction paper by Koh Kar Yi about the reading "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. Pallasmaa believes that architecture should not be restricted by formal structure and rules, and that memory and involvement of all senses are important for strong architectural experiences. He criticizes humanism for focusing on real people and post-modernism for superficial formalism. The reaction paper questions whether allowing for different meanings makes buildings homogeneous and meaningless, and agrees with Pallasmaa's phenomenology ideas but believes formal structure analysis should not be overlooked in creating meaningful experiential architecture.
Synopsis 2
The document summarizes a reaction paper on the theories of architecture and urbanism. It discusses the influential theories of Robert Venturi and Charles Jencks regarding signs and architecture. Jencks argues that traditional architecture uses symbols to convey deeper meanings, while modernist architecture focuses only on functional indexes. He prefers architecture with multiple meanings and metaphors over the singular focus of modernists like Le Corbusier. However, pluralism and ambiguity in architecture may lead to concealed or misinterpreted messages from architects.

Synopsis 2: Semiology and Architecture
This document is a synopsis for a reaction paper on the work "Semiology and Architecture" by Charles Jencks. It summarizes the key points of Jencks' work, which argues that meaning is an important concept in architecture. Jencks critiques modernism for denying meaning in architecture and asserts that new forms will inevitably acquire meaning. The synopsis also discusses how Jencks likens architecture to semiology by arguing they are both forms of communication, though architecture encompasses more than just communication. It received a grade of B based on the assessment rubric.
Synopsis 3: The Geometry of Feeling
The author argues that modern architecture has lost its connection to the feelings and experiences it aims to evoke. Architecture has become more focused on form over meaningful experiences. The author believes architects should design buildings that transmit emotional imagery and tap into primary human feelings, rather than get carried away by unusual forms. Architecture is defined by how it makes people feel and the images it creates in them, not just its physical appearance. The text serves as a reminder for architects of their responsibility to consider how users will experience their buildings and feel within the surrounding context.
Synopsis 4: From Towards a Critical Regionalism
The document is a reaction paper analyzing Kenneth Frampton's text "Towards a Critical Regionalism". It summarizes Frampton's key points about critical regionalism, including that it seeks to mediate universal civilization while reflecting local constituencies. It also discusses how Frampton believes critical regionalism should embrace local topography and climate instead of favoring abstract, universal techniques. Finally, it notes Frampton's view of the importance of tectonics and the tactile experience in architectural perception.
Synopsis 1: Learning From Las Vegas
The document summarizes a reaction paper analyzing the book "Learning From Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The paper discusses how the book criticizes modern architecture for failing to consider symbolism and instead focuses on enhancing the environment. It also explains how the Las Vegas Strip effectively uses symbolic architecture and signs to communicate within its vast spaces.
3. the geometry of feeling
The document summarizes a reaction paper about the article "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. The article questions whether modern architecture provides the same feelings as older architecture due to today's focus on materialism. It states that the planning of architectural form nowadays does not consider how people will experience spaces. However, great modern architects like Tadao Ando design with phenomenology in mind. While form can stimulate senses, the meaning of a work of art does not lie in its forms but in the feelings and images they convey. In conclusion, meaningful architecture awakens the imagination through multisensory experiences and allows people to experience history through old architectural elements.

August 2016 (4)
This document summarizes a student's reaction paper on the architectural theory of Critical Regionalism. Critical Regionalism aims to provide architecture rooted in the modern tradition but tied to local geography and culture. It discusses how to revive old civilizations while participating in universal civilization. Specifically, it emphasizes the importance of preserving landscapes and local culture to create buildings that resonate with the natural environment and foster a sense of place. The student analyzes an example of a Malaysian house that integrated traditional Malay elements with modern materials. In their opinion, Critical Regionalism should be a flexible approach, and architects should reinterpret local characteristics in contemporary terms rather than directly adapting traditions.
August 2016 (1)
The document is a synopsis and reaction paper for a course on theories of architecture and urbanism. It discusses applying postmodernist ideas to architecture in Las Vegas. While modern architecture aimed to change existing environments, postmodernism in Las Vegas uses symbolic signage and references to the past. This creates superficial meanings but also acts as eye-catching attractions for passersby. The graphic signage along highways has become the defining architecture, effectively communicating complexity through symbols seen from a distance at high speeds.
August 2016 (3)
This document is a synopsis for a reaction paper on the reading "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. It discusses how the author argues that architecture cannot be merely about form, as forms only affect our feelings through what they represent. The artistic dimension of a work exists in how it transmits images and emotions to the person experiencing it, rather than just its physical form. The synopsis then provides a personal example of how feelings were evoked from being in a room with light coming through the window, bringing up bad memories, showing that feelings come from integrated elements of a space rather than just its form. It concludes that form is not the sole factor in architecture and other elements must be considered as

The document summarizes a reaction paper by Calvin Suah Jake Ginn about the reading "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. The key points made in the reading are that architects should prioritize how a building makes people feel over its physical form. A building's image is more important than its design elements. The reading also discusses how perception can lead to various interpretations of art and architecture, and how spaces should be designed to evoke feelings and memories for their occupants.
Text 4 geometry of feeling reaction paper
The document is a reaction paper by a student named Foo Shi-Ko about the reading "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. The author discusses how architecture can conjure imagination and senses through how users experience spaces. Pallasmaa argues modern architecture has become too reductionist. The student agrees minimalism lacks the deep thought of past styles like art deco. Pallasmaa also discusses how spaces can produce feelings of loneliness, though the student believes architecture can also create feelings of togetherness by uniting communities through art, culture and engagement. In conclusion, the relationship between art and architecture cannot be separated, as great architecture speaks directly to the heart rather than just the eyes.

The document summarizes a student's reaction paper on Kenneth Frampton's text "Towards a Critical Regionalism". Frampton argues that modern architecture has neglected local culture and identity, resulting in placelessness. He believes architecture should enhance existing topography and use climatic responses like natural light and ventilation to foster a sense of place. The student agrees with Frampton and feels architecture should reflect the cultural background of its region through design considerations of local context and materials.
Text 2-las-vegas-reaction-paper-foo-shi-ko
The document summarizes a reaction paper by a student about the book "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The book argues that modern architecture failed to consider context and the broader environment. Instead, symbolic elements like large signs in Las Vegas play a stronger role in spatial relationships and connecting with people than the buildings themselves. The student agrees and feels architecture should better integrate art, culture, and symbols from the surrounding context to communicate with the community rather than just adding buildings.
Sysnosis 2 - Architecture Where Desire Can Live by Jacques Derrida
The document is a reaction paper written by Tan Chee Siang summarizing an interview with Jacques Derrida about the separation between architecture theory and technical practice. Some key points made in the paper include that architecture contains thought and meaning beyond just being functional objects. It also discusses how deconstruction can be used as a method to understand how architectural authority is established philosophically over time, while maintaining the originality and historical aspects of early works. The paper recognizes modernism distinguished itself through criticism of humanistic positions in early architecture, but that new styles have reduced focus on humanistic functions. It concludes that deconstruction represents limitations on universal languages in architecture, but each style maintains importance and meaning when translated differently.
TAU: SYNOPSIS 4
Kenneth Frampton discusses the concept of Critical Regionalism in architecture. He defines it as a resolution to the problems of Modernism and Post-Modernism by adopting the cultural style of a region in a meaningful way while also applying modern principles. Critical Regionalism aims to create architecture with a strong sense of place that is representative of the local culture but still relevant today. Frampton analyzes examples like Saynatsalo Town Hall to show how Critical Regionalism can maintain contextual relevance through use of traditional materials in a functional design. He argues for the importance of capturing the genius loci, or spirit of place, in architectural designs.
TAU: SYNOPSIS 1
This document is a synopsis for a reaction paper on Frank Lloyd Wright's 1908 work "In the Cause of Architecture". The synopsis outlines Wright's discussion of architectural integrity and his propositions of simplicity, individualism, and using nature as inspiration. It concludes by stating that while Wright's principles promote individual expression, they are also paradoxically constrained by his theoretical framework. The synopsis is assessed based on addressing key points, appropriate use of terminology, clarity of opinions, and logical progression.
TAU: SYNOPSIS 3
The document is a reaction paper for a course on theories of architecture and urbanism. It summarizes and analyzes a chapter from the book "The Eyes of the Skin" by Juhani Pallasmaa, which explores how the body and senses experience architecture. The student notes that Pallasmaa discusses how people understand their environment through their senses and how architecture provides structure to daily life. Additionally, the student agrees with Pallasmaa's view that vision and touch are interconnected in comprehending one's surroundings. In conclusion, the reaction paper emphasizes how architectural experience is a cognitive, multisensory process that should evoke thought and emotion.
Synopsis 2 Architecture Where Desire Can Live -GYN
This reaction paper discusses an interview between Jacques Derrida and Eva Meyer about deconstruction in architecture. Derrida states that deconstruction in philosophy influenced the concept of deconstruction in architecture as a way to examine how buildings are constructed to provide a specific perspective. However, deconstruction is not simply the reversal of construction. Architecture reflects ways of living and communicates meanings like a language. The author agrees that understanding a design's approach to a site allows it to take on a particular significance through design philosophy. For example, shop houses in Kuala Lumpur's Petaling Street maintain the cultural sense of the Chinese community. Derrida emphasizes that architecture must create places where desire can recognize itself and live forever, encouraging world

The document summarizes and discusses four readings related to architectural theory:
1) Learning from Las Vegas discusses how Las Vegas architecture effectively uses symbols and signage for communication over focusing solely on space. Symbolism should be appropriately used and not overpower the space.
2) The Geometry of Feeling argues that architecture should create experiences and feelings for users beyond just appealing visually. It should influence emotions while serving practical purposes.
3) Towards a Critical Regionalism proposes embracing existing sites' topography, history and identity rather than removing them. Architecture should satisfy users while complying with regulations. It also emphasizes tactile surfaces that enhance sensory experience.
4) The fourth reading discusses how architecture fulfills its purpose phenomen
Synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers by a student on architectural theory readings. The first discusses Learning from Las Vegas, noting how the book analyzes Las Vegas' emphasis on symbols over forms in architecture and urban planning. The second covers The Geometry of Feeling, which examines how architecture can arouse personal feelings and memories through sensory experiences. The third is on Towards a Critical Regionalism, which emphasizes achieving regional identity in architecture by incorporating local culture, nature, and tactile sensory qualities over visual elements.

Las vegas
The document summarizes the book "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. It discusses how Las Vegas has undergone enormous changes over the years and has become known as a phenomenon of architectural communication. Symbols, especially large signage, dominate the space and create Las Vegas as a communication system. While architecture plays a slight role through building setbacks and parking lots, signs communicate across large open spaces. The authors compare Las Vegas to Rome's Piazza in having huge scales, high speed routes, and large connected spaces that can accommodate many activities. In conclusion, the document agrees that symbols are important for guidance but should not overpower architecture, which delivers human civilization and
Sysnosis 1 - In Cause of Architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright discusses several principles of architecture in his work "In Cause of Architecture". He believes architecture should be simple and in harmony with its surroundings. While complexity and variety have value, he feels following principles is more important than trends. Architecture is a subjective art form, and different architects will approach designs in different ways based on their feelings. In the future, Wright envisions architecture becoming even simpler with fewer elements but still coherent and organic.

The student discusses two key points from the reading - that modern architects have abandoned traditional iconography, and that symbolic signage is important for communication and wayfinding. Venturi believes representational architecture may not effectively communicate to general audiences. The student concludes that they have gained perspective in considering architecture from an amateur view and how literal or symbolic elements can enhance usability.

Comparative analysis-essay
The document provides a comparative analysis of Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur and West Monroe Street in Chicago based on three principles of urban structure: form, activity, and movement patterns. Form considers built structures and open spaces. Activity analyzes land use and functions. Movement patterns examine traffic and pedestrian flows. Based on Jan Gehl's theories, the streets are compared on how urban design impacts social interactions. Petaling Street features dense shophouses with limited open spaces, while West Monroe Street has more plazas but lacks a distinct cultural identity. Both streets facilitate social contact, but their designs differentially encourage public life.

The document provides a comparative analysis of Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur and West Monroe Street in Chicago based on three principles of urban structure: form, activity, and movement patterns. Form considers built structures and open spaces. Activity analyzes land use and functions. Movement patterns examine traffic and pedestrian flows. Based on Jan Gehl's theories, the streets are compared on how urban design impacts social interactions. Petaling Street features dense shophouses with limited open spaces, while West Monroe Street has more plazas but lacks a distinct cultural identity. Both streets facilitate social contact, but their designs differentially encourage public life.
Building Science II: Lighting Report
The document analyzes the lighting performance of Bean Brothers Coffee Malaysia through on-site measurements and calculations. It divides the space into 4 zones and evaluates each zone. For Zone A, readings were highest at the bottom left corner exposed to daylight. Average lux was 142 lux during the day and 90 lux at night. Higher day readings are due to adjacency to the glass entrance doors and high reflectance materials used. Daylight factor analysis and existing lighting fixtures are also examined to understand the lighting characteristics of the space.

Synopsis 4 kenneth
This document provides a synopsis of a reaction paper on the reader "Towards a Critical Regionalism" by Kenneth Frampton. Frampton discusses several key elements of critical regionalism in architecture. First, he argues that critical regionalism engages more with nature by adapting to the site's topography rather than flattening it. Second, he notes that climate and light shape a building's character and regional identity. Third, Frampton asserts that a building's tectonics rather than its appearance should express its architectural autonomy. Lastly, he compares the visual and tactile, stating tactility prevents distancing from the environment.
SYNOPSIS 4
Kenneth Frampton's theory of critical regionalism argues that architects should design buildings based on the characteristics of the local landscape and climate, rather than imposing standardized designs. This helps create a sense of place. For example, window placement should consider the sun path and wind direction. Local materials can also be used to connect buildings to the surrounding region and culture. Critical regionalism aims to avoid placelessness and establish a unique identity for buildings rooted in regional qualities.
Synopsis 6
This document summarizes a reaction paper about Kenneth Frampton's theory of Critical Regionalism. The paper discusses several key points of Critical Regionalism, including relying more on nature than abstract design, remaining the uneven site contour to create interesting building forms, and using the original site context to inform fenestration placement and lighting. It also discusses how Critical Regionalism seeks to complement the visual experience with tactile perceptions by addressing human touch, and how the tactile return of construction techniques can counter problems and return architecture to its poetic roots. Overall, the summary emphasizes that Critical Regionalism is about remaining connected to the natural site context rather than imposing an abstract flat design, and enhancing this connection through consideration of materials, lighting, and human
Synopsis 4
This document summarizes a reaction paper about the article "Towards a Critical Regionalism" by Kenneth Frampton. It discusses how Frampton believes architects should consider the characteristics of the land and local climate when designing buildings. The placement of windows and openings can reflect the regional conditions, such as sun paths and wind directions. Using local materials can also express the regional culture through tactile qualities. Overall, critical regionalism is about giving buildings a distinct sense of place through consideration of the site context and local culture rather than creating placeless designs.
Synopsis 4
Kenneth Frampton discusses critical regionalism as a new theory that balances universal and local architectural styles. Critical regionalism mediates universal civilization's impact to maintain local elements while achieving a high level of critical self-consciousness. The student agrees that critical regionalism helps retain balance between postmodernism and modernism, but it is difficult for new generations to achieve due to strong modern influences that cause placelessness. However, the theory may still impact the architecture field.
Urban 3
Kenneth Frampton discussed critical regionalism and its strategic impact on universal civilization. Critical regionalism sensitively considers the local climate, landscape, and culture when designing architecture. While maintaining a modern style, it is important to express the unique characteristics of a place to illuminate local architecture. Frampton used the example of leveling land instead of terracing it to remove geological and topographical context. Maintaining critical regionalism is challenging due to resistance from those who prioritize universal design over local considerations, but it provides a dynamic approach that balances global and local design languages.
Urban Synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by a student on architectural theory texts. The first paper discusses the book "Learning From Las Vegas" and how it analyzes Las Vegas as using architectural symbols and signs effectively. The second paper discusses the book "The Geometry of Feeling" and how it argues that a building's form alone does not determine its purpose and that user experience is also important. The third paper discusses two chapters from the text "Towards a Critical Regionalism", which argues that architecture should be more integrated with its natural environment and engage more than just visual senses.
Towards a critical regionalism
Critical regionalism is an architectural approach that emphasizes highlighting regional characteristics to combat placelessness. It seeks a middle ground between modernism and postmodernism. Kenneth Frampton's book "Towards A Critical Regionalism" discusses this approach. It argues modernism often ignores site topography, resulting in placelessness, while critical regionalism would embrace topography as a manifestation of a region's history. Frampton also emphasizes the importance of architecture being tectonic rather than just scenographic, and considers how materials and setting can be experienced through multiple senses beyond just sight. In summary, critical regionalism is about truly considering a site's surrounding context, history, and topography before modifying it in a way that replaces experience with information
Theories Reaction Paper (Text 5&6): Towards a Critical Regionalism
Frampton argues that critical regionalism in architecture emphasizes the geographical context and values of a place. Clean slates that strip away cultural identity should be avoided. A building's identity is lost when its history and transformation over time are ignored. Critical regionalism sets off user perception of an architectural space, but perception is often limited to sight alone rather than incorporating other senses. The author believes connecting buildings to their natural contexts through materials and elements creates a poetic experience for users.
Synopsis Writing
The document summarizes three reaction papers by a student on architectural theory texts. The first discusses how Learning from Las Vegas valued symbolism in commercial architecture over modernism's focus on form and function alone. The second examines The Geometry of Feeling and how architecture should stimulate human experience and feelings rather than just visual elements. The third discusses Kenneth Frampton's Towards a Critical Regionalism and his calls for integrating culture and nature and emphasizing tactile senses in architecture over just visual aspects.
Synopsis 4
This reaction paper discusses critical regionalism in architecture. It argues that building design should be contextual and relate to the local land, culture, climate, and materials rather than having unnecessary ornamentation. The use of local materials, consideration of site factors like wind and sunlight, and appropriate openings can help create a sense of identity and place for each building. The tactile qualities of materials also affect how people perceive and interact with a building. Overall, the paper agrees that critical regionalism, through these various elements, helps determine a regional feeling and present the unique identity of an area.
Synopsis 4
The document is a synopsis for a reaction paper on the text "From 'Towards a Critical Regionalism'" by Kenneth Frampton. It discusses several key points about critical regionalism and architecture. It agrees that critical regionalism is limited by modern architecture trends but believes regionalism can still be created. It also argues that architecture should focus on improving today's places rather than speculative futures or becoming defined as art.
Urban Theories Summaries
Frank Lloyd Wright argues that architecture should focus on honesty, simplicity, and integrating with nature. He believes styles should not be limited and that architecture is best when created independently with variety. Pallasma discusses how human senses interact with architecture through experiences of space, light, shadows, and other qualities. Frampton advocates for critical regionalism, where architecture derives elements from a place to strengthen regional identity while engaging with modern techniques and universal values.
Synopsis of Theories of Urbanism and Architecture
- The document discusses four reaction papers written by a student named Lim Jern Jack in response to readings about architecture and theory.
- The first paper discusses a text by Frank Lloyd Wright about architecture complementing nature rather than being driven by technology.
- The second paper examines a text interviewing Jacques Derrida about deconstructive architecture and how it creates new histories.
- The third paper analyzes a text about how senses and memory shape perceptions of space.
- The fourth paper considers Kenneth Frampton's ideas about critical regionalism and resisting placelessness in large urban regions.
Reaction paper towards a critical regionalism
Critical regionalism provides that architecture should integrate local culture and nature. Frampton analyzes how considering the landscape and culture can create structures that appreciate the site's resources and identity. Industrial technology benefits design but can neglect culture and environment. Built forms should engage their specific locations through topography and context while balancing industrial techniques. Frampton explores how certain architects heighten sensory experiences through light, materials, and textures to trigger feelings. A balance of tactile and visual allows architecture to connect emotionally rather than superficially.
Synopsis 3
Kenneth Frampton proposed the concept of "critical regionalism" as a progressive approach to architecture that seeks to mediate between global and local design languages. Critical regionalism aims to avoid placelessness of the International Style while also rejecting the individualism of postmodern architecture. He emphasized that architects should analyze and interpret local context and features with contemporary rather than traditional terms. Architecture should have a strong relationship with its surrounding context, cultural values, and local identity rather than being defined solely by technology or history. The author agreed with Frampton's perspective that architecture should bring back actual design components like topography, materials, climate, and structure, and avoid being a free-standing object isolated from its surroundings.
Urban synopsis 2
The document summarizes four texts related to architectural theory:
1) The Geometry of Feeling argues that architecture should communicate emotive experiences rather than just being physical objects. It should evoke sensory memories and feelings.
2) Learning from Las Vegas discusses how symbolism dominates architecture in Las Vegas and questions how commercialization affects design. Symbols create better spatial relationships than forms.
3) Towards a Critical Regionalism proposes responding to the peculiarities of place, like topography and climate, rather than seeking placelessness. It advocates a dialectical relationship with nature.
4) Tactile qualities are an essential part of how we perceive architecture, not just visual elements. Critical regionalism aims to complement visual experience with tact
Synopsis Reaction Paper
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by a student on architectural theories. The first paper discusses how symbolism plays an important role in the architecture of Las Vegas through heavy reliance on signage. The second paper talks about how architecture should create feelings and memories for those using the spaces through consideration of human senses. The third paper examines Kenneth Frampton's theory of critical regionalism and how modernization can remove the original characteristics of a site.
Merged
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student on readings related to architecture and urbanism. The first paper discusses Frank Lloyd Wright's views on organic architecture and his rejection of mass production. The second paper covers Jacques Derrida's ideas about deconstruction and its relationship to architecture. The third paper analyzes Juhani Pallasmaa's work on how humans experience architecture through their senses. The fourth paper examines Kenneth Frampton's concept of critical regionalism as a response to placelessness caused by universal techniques.
Sypnosis reading 4 kenneth frampton towards a critical regionalisme
Kenneth Frampton's concept of critical regionalism from the 1980s remains relevant for resisting universal techniques and cultivating local identity. Critical regionalism mediates universal civilization by maintaining self-consciousness of local needs and context. Modern urban design has degenerated and led to a phenomenon of placelessness, as discussed by Heidegger, with space becoming an endless continuum. For architecture of resistance, bounded domains favor creation against continuous changes to urban areas, as the planned form of a megalopolis will inevitably change over time.

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.

- 1. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (HONOURS) IN ARCHITECTURE THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (ARC61303/ARC2224) SYNOPSIS: REACTION PAPER (AUGUST 2016) [10 MARKS] NAME: Koh Kar Yi ID: 0320567 LECTURER: Mr. Lam Shen Fei TUTORIAL TIME: 4pm – 6pm SYNOPSIS NO: 4 READER TITLE: “Towards a Critical Regionalism AUTHOR: Kenneth Frampton (1981) From the last two points of “Towards a Critical Regionalism”, Kenneth Frampton discusses the reduction of artwork to commodity, a universal technique that brings about the condition of placelessness; and the priority ofthe tectonic over the scenographic, Modernization favors the tabula rasa approach to flatten irregular topography, optimizing the economy ofearth-moving equipmentand also making an easy way for the layoutofbuilding. In contrast with that is the terracing of topography as an engagementto embrace the site. He discusses about climatic response,paying attention to the light condition. The window as the most delicate elementin architecture at which light and climate control have a greateffect on, can inscribe the character ofthe region through its placement in the wall. Curators favor the use of artificial lighting and avoid local lighting. The opposite ofthis is the careful cooperation oflocal lighting and building design so that it can guarantee the place-conscious poetics, revealing the interaction between culture and nature. Besides the fixed window, the ubiquitous air conditioner is also an indication ofdomination ofuniversal technique over autochthonous culture. Tectonics is the poetics ofconstruction. The brick stairs affirm the foot as it meets each tread while the timber floor gives another reading in which he describes the use a tactile surface's ability to make legible the architecture. The tactile can be translated in terms ofexperience itself,butnot the reduction to simple representation. He concludes that the cooperation oftectonic and tactile has the capability to resistthe influence ofuniversal technique. In conclusion, I felt that the last point of the text does not bring back to the discussion of critical regionalism although the expression of the significance of tactile quality is undoubtedly evident. Nevertheless, the ideas discussed remain good reference.
