 this week's thesis proposal challenge in terms of content (finding or analyzing), focus (which way to limit your thesis) or organization (what to discuss where first!)  

( For the first shot abstract, I will more focus on the connectivity between urban plaza and mixed use and commercial buildings. Urbanization and development of cities is necessary in contemporary society, however, these advancements are also causing urban problems, such as lack of open green space, density problems, traffic problems, and over population. Also, existing buildings are often lacking certain functions that are currently needed since they have been designed in the past. A plaza as an open space in a city was realized as a solution, which people have pursued in order to improve their psychological safety and deterioration of the physical environment. Furthermore, it was made by necessity that was able to gather people in a place and was an indicator space with culture, political, and social activity. Thus, the objective of this study is to reconsider the concept 'publicity' in cities as a strategic space in order to vitalize the city. The study includes analyzing connectivity between urban plaza and architectural space and proposing design methods for a mixed use or commercial building which will improve interaction between urban context and the buildings. ) My main thesis content
