Project A
We are required to present an in-depth and analytical research study on the designated topic. We are to explore the idea of “Life Between Buildings Using Public Space” (1986) by Jahn Gehl. The project consisted of 2 parts; the first is case study and the second part is to produce a comparative analysis essay.
Jahn Gehl in the Life Between Buildings (1971) “examined the relationship between patterns of space use, especially outdoor activities, and the spatial properties of the physical world. He introduced the concepts of necessary, optimal and social activities.
For this particular task, we are to read Jahn Gehl’s Life Between Buildings (Chapter 1). Subsequently, the students are to examine patterns of social activities in a city (foreign city to be provided by instructor*) and identify ‘contact points’. They are to classify the varying degrees of contact intensity.
