This book is a compilation of works from the studio. The first half of the book documents the sequential studio process from the beginning of preliminary research, site analysis and prototyping. The fourteen-week logbook is a useful demonstration of how initial activities and resources can be transformed into viable design proposals. The studio started off with site analysis as group work, giving rise to backgrounds of and motivation for subsequent design topics. Four approaches are emphasized from the studio: 1) developing a strong awareness of site specificity; 2) deepening our understanding of urban ecology; 3) producing a wide ranging spectrum across scales; and 4) encompassing various functional layers. Lastly, the reflections address all that we have come away with from every single experience we had during the entire studio process.
