Contiuing on from Volume 1, this Journal will examine the Urban scale of the city of Shanghai in more detail, in particular the Historic Old Town. As well as the Urban scale, I will explore the tectonic scale in the form of a piece of architecutre designed based on the set of rules and principles set out by myself as a result of a rigid design process.
I will discuss the many factors contributing to the current situation the Old Town finds itself in and ultimately answering the question:
Can the combination of collectivity and privacy be re-connected in a denser arrangement with a spacial organisation suited to the 21st Century?
In order to illustrate my findings, I have procured this Journal to provide evidence to back up my Hypothesis.
