Week 1 : 12 July 2016
The pre-thesis semester had been kickstarted on 12 July with a simple introduction to three design units. I had signed up with Unit 3 that led by Dr. Naziaty and Kevin Mark Low, which I personally feel Unit 3 have a very clear unit theme that is very meaningful to develop as design thesis project, which is “Countering Gentrification“.
Nowadays, I always feel architecture take no power in the country development. We are getting more likely a service provider for the client / developer, which the money speak louder and decide how the design of the building like for them to be able for market and sell. I am always eager to find out the balancing point between developing an area while maintaining a good design living environment and social connection with the surrounding.
I am looking forward to the outcome of this design thesis, and where the balancing point will be.
