theories and  URBANISM.

           project TWO.

 

Part 2 of the project requires students to create cognitive mapping of selected significant urban spaces in the city of KL to understand peoples’ perception and spatial behaviour in cities today. Using the cognitive maps students are required to present a critical understanding of emerging contemporary urbanism in KL city spaces (in relations to Kevin Lynch notions of imageability and how it influences people’s perception of the city. Mapping should contain: human facets (memory, identity etc ), spatial and temporal dynamics (traffic, people’s paths, barriers, etc.), architecture (stairs, benches, trees, etc.), microstructures (texture, material).

 

The city I have chosen for my study is Bukit Bintang. I have selected three individuals from different backgrounds for the interview. Based on the interviews, I have concluded their cognitive mappings in a report and made comparism with Kevin Lynch's 5 elements of the city.
