Architecture History
From this module, I learned about the history of architectural styles and how they molded and developed the architectural styles that we are using today. It was a very interesting module since the module touches on the history of civilization, architecture, and historical architect figures.
My opinion on online learning for this module is that although it doesn't really impact the learning process, it is troublesome at times when showing the progress of assignments since issues such as internet connectivity problems may pop up.
As for the module coordinator and tutors, I think they are doing a very good job in providing the necessary information and knowledge and also guiding the students in producing good quality of works in projects.
Project 1
Students will select 5 buildings and conduct research and architectural analysis on the selected buildings. The outcome of this project is to demonstrate the student's appropriate use of visual and verbal architectural vocabulary, show the sequence of historical periods and their representation, and discover how the varied factors contribute to the development of form.
Project 2 (Comparative Analysis Report)
In a group of a maximum of 8 students per group, we were tasked with making an A4-sized illustrative chronology booklet that interprets the architecture influences to the architectural development of Malaysia. This project aims to allow students to incorporate appropriate visual and verbal architectural vocabulary when referring to building types, series, and periods. Discover how varied factors contribute to the development of form.
