Project 2 : Photobook
This project involves the study of streets in an Asian city to understand the historical and social aspects of a city by examining the development of tradition, modernization and globalization of streets. Every city in Asia has its own unique characteristics, which could be presented in the form of architectural iconography, a semiotic interpretation based on visual elements. Students are required to visit streets in an Asian city to identify the architectural elements as visuals/ symbols that construct the semiotic interpretation of the street, or its iconography. These semiotic interpretations may be based on culture, architecture and traditions which may have changed in the past decades due to modernisation and globalisation. All observations are to be captured in photography series and a written summary.
