Abstract
This thesis is focus on the urban fabric issues. To be more specific, I will focus on the "Mobile Fabrics" within the larger Asian urban context. Instead of working with a specific geographical site; I will focus on the "Duration" of these mobile fabrics. Certain duration during the day will be selected according to the specific phenomenon and the duration for incorporating elements which discovered in different places. The overall idea is to canvass a series of movements by its duration regarding some the current pertinent issues affecting urban and architectural design. One of the most interesting Mobile Fabrics in the Asian context is the scooter and the Chinese traditional shop front. The scooter forms as a private space moving within the public space whereas the Chinese traditional shop front is a public space within a private property. The result of this design thesis is to aim at the different possibilities to intergrades these two mobile fabrics together; further more, creating different combinations for urban space orderings and shifting the identity of public and private spaces.
