PROJECT 1: READING THE CONTEXTS OF TRADITIONAL STREETS
In the context of traditional streets in a rapidly globalized city like Kuala Lumpur, changes in physical settings through
urban developments may pose significant impacts on their established meanings. This project introduces ways of
reading the important “lexicons” of traditional streets through the tangible qualities of architecture and space, and the
intangible socio-cultural attributes. It enables us to understand the specific contexts that construct the distinctive
place identity and socio-cultural meanings of the traditional streets.
