This module aims to let us understand the different architectures from different times in the past such as Pre Historic, Ancient Egyptian, etc. This Module is a chronological survey of the developments of Ancient architecture to Western architecture from the beginning of time to the period of enlightenment and with the consideration of the intellectual, the aesthetic, the tonological, the political, and the economic factors which have influenced the design of many buildings.
Project 1
Sketching Analysis
For this project, we are to do research on the 5 chosen selected buildings from different eras, and then we are to sketch out the components of the building and analyze the architecture elements from it.
Reflections of this project
As this is the first project of this module during my first semester, and it is individual so I needed to focus more on time managing because I have other modules to finish too, but due to this online learning I can manage everything better and I also learn a lot about the historical buildings from different eras.
For this project, we are to compare and understand the two different buildings through researching on the history, geometry, massing, circulation, spatial hiearchy, etc.
Reflections of this project
For this project, it is a group project and we in a group of 8 people work together for this project, it is good that we can work together to finish up this project smoothly because of teamwork. I've also learned the different characteristics of these two buildings from their buildings types architecture elements buildings types and etc.
Reflection on lectures, module assessments and projects given
For this semseter, I think that learning online will sometimes be difficult because of the network, but it is still fine because we can still review back all the recordings uploaded in our learning platform, and I think that all the module assessments are very good because it truly let us see how good we are, and I think that the project given this semester is very helpful to us as we know alot about the historical buildings from ancient times to the modern era.
Perspectives on the online learning and tutor and module coordinator
During our online learning I think that using times, teams, Facebook is a great way to receive notifications regarding our projects, read the important stuff that we need to know for our projects, communicate and ask questions that we don't know. For the badges, I think it is good because, during this online learning, it is good that we can gain extra knowledge by doing crossword activities and learning different things by linking to different sources. During this online learning, we will meet our tutor every Wednesday for a tutorial to check on our progress for our project, and ask questions that we dont know and i think this is good.
