READING THE CONTEXTS OF TRADITIONAL STREET
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 lets us to understand the specific contexts that construct the distinctive place identity and socio-cultural meanings of the traditional streets. Observations are captured in sketch journal and a written summary.
We have to select one street either form Kuala Lumpur or Malacca and identify the boundaries that we wish to focus on. The street that I have chosen is Jalan Tun H.S. Lee in Kuala Lumpur. We have to conduct a virtual visit using Google Street or Google Earth to study its distinctive place contexts.

I get to know more about the history of the street and also its importance to the society and also I have research on the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural, and intellectual context within Asian region.
