P2(B): Travel guide pamphlet

For assignment P2(B), I am required to make a travel guide pamphlet to study on my hometown and an area in it regarding the tangible components and intangible components. First, I need to study the general background of my hometown and then study the zoom in area of it. Different characteristics of the built environment should be described in this assignment. 

01

Petaling Jaya

Petaling Jaya is where I have lived for the past 18 years hence it feels like home to me. In task A, I studied the history, location, accessibility, sections and places of interest of Petaling Jaya. I presented these information in an infographic manner which will be easier to read. 

02

Uptown Damansara

I choose Uptown Damansara as my zoom in study area in Petaling Jaya. I choose Damansara Uptown because it is a happening place filled with different activities that can be done. I studied on the zoning, safety, attractions, access, softscape, building style, circulation, sense of place, culture and problems happening. I wrap up with a conclusion on how to improve things in Uptown Damansara and some future plannings.

Reflection

This assignment required me to study on my hometown (Petaling Jaya) and a zoom in area in it (Uptown Damansara). At first when I heard we are required to draw 8-12 pages, I'm very shock and scared because that is not a small amount of drawings need to drawn for me. I'm worried that do I have enough information to fill in all 8 pages. But it turns out that I'm wrong the information that I got is actually more than enough. At the first place, I'm worried about the attractions in Petaling Jaya as my lecturer mention better not to include shopping mall as an attraction but Petaling Jaya is a place filled with different different kinds of malls. As I did a deeper research about Petaling Jaya, I managed to found out more interesting spots that I didn't know before. As for Uptown Damansara, what gives me an headache is the culture there as it is an office area which does not have much culture and activites going on. I even went to uptown Damansara in real life for a few times to get find out some extra info about that place so it can help me more while doing this assignment.
