URBAN STUDY
KOTA BHARU
Urban studies is based on the study of the urban development of cities. This includes studying the history of city development from an architectural point of view, to the impact of urban design on community development efforts.
The study has to be done in two levels of complexity; the macro and micro contexts. Macro study is about the role and how the location fits into the city. In Micro study, we are to make a comprehensive study on urban form, activity and movement pattern. “Legibility Analysis” (Bentley, et.al.2013) ehich is a method through the exploration of Kevin Lynch’s Elements of legibility (Lynch, 1979) is employed here as a study method. We are to establish possible opportunities (such as rout and attractions) to sustain and to offer legibility by the youth centre using urban mapping diagram to study history, figure-ground, zoning, transit, place of significants,
and people pattern.
