Architecture History & Theory

This module has definitely helped me understand how architectural styles came to be. It has impacted my views on how I look at a building now. I was able to grasp the concept more solidly due to the projects that I have done throughout the 14 weeks.

Project 1(Individual): Sketching Analysis

The Project requires students to undertake a research analysis process on selected architectural historical building sites through sketching practices, literature review and documentation and present an appropriate sketching, chronology and diagram analysis based on the understanding gained through the analysis procedure.

Project 2 (Group): Comparative Analysis Report

This project requires students to conduct a comparative analysis of two case studies between local heritage buildings. This will familiarize students with the activities of culmination and production of a research analysis through assemblage, chronological arrangements, diagramming exercises, indices and evaluation of information; composing and organization of study; assembly of illustration and text; design layout composition; posters and general presentation.

Reflection:

After going through 14 weeks with an occasional face to face and occasional online lectures, I was able to grasp a solid chunk of what the module had to offer.

This was due to the dedication of my lecturers throughout this module, always trying to spice up the lectures in many interactive ways.

The tutorial sessions were efficient and my tutor, Mr. Nicholas was always ready and present to give his thoughts and advice on my project progresses.
