The basic theory of obtaining character information is to learn the identify of a location. In terms of the location, it should be filled up with replication according to what has been done in the past, but we also need to consider including and depending on the needs of the community. The workshop will outline the limits of the character of the area in order to regulate the spectrum of frontage so as to prevent privacy and services from the building's backlane. Furthermore, it is necessary to visualise the linear measure with the objective to obtain the construction dimensions of height, breadth, and element placement. This session, on the other hand, was loaded with the concept of developing a feeling of place.

A good character research will inform us about the character regions that surround our site as well as the identity of the site itself, permitting the urban designer to both contribute to and maintain the character. Properly comprehended, character evaluation is a terrific technique of reducing a lot of information and beginning to bundle it into a manner that we may employ to recommend ideas. Recognising local character through character analysis allows the urban designer to make good and proven value judgements about how to continue with a site in a comprehensive and cohesive manner.
