CULTURE & HISTORY 1
This module focuses on investigating historical works to not just enrich student proficiency in architectural language, design and ideas but most importantly able to develop and hone students’ historical and architectural criticism skills. Through the study of existing buildings, students are able to communicate and expand their own architectural vocabulary and develop design concepts. In a group of 5, students are required to conduct precedent study analysis on specific building through on-line forum discussion, sketch analysis journal, verbal and board presentations.
Given building : Berliner Dom, Germany (Baroque Architecture)
PROJECT 1
The first assignment is the online group forum. Each group is required to collectively address the questions given via TIMES WikiSpace discussion forum. As such each of us in the group needs to only select just one set of questions. All discussion are posted in TIMES Wiki Space. Below is the link to my WikiSpace;
PROJECT 2
The Precedent Study and Comparative Analyses sketches and Comparative Analysis Report of 500 words form the Precedent Study & Comparative Analysis Journal. This journal consists of illustrative and abstractive diagrams, and annotations, which includes clarity drawings of actual and conceptual design ideas of floor plans, building sections, analyses diagrams and sketches expressing and in-depth comparative investigation of a selected case study.

PROJECT 3
The A2 presentation board consists of illustrative and abstractive diagrams, drawings and annotations of the precedent study and comparative analysis of the selected case study. The assignment is to provide an in-depth analysis of the building and provide thorough reflections of the questions chosen in the subsequent section.
​
Question chosen:
Concept and Architecture analysis (i. Architect and/or Building concepts, ii. Architecture/Style/Identification of Place, iii. Person-Container-Social relationship)
Through this assignment, I have learnt to produce building analysis which document intentions, concepts, patterns, disciplines, architectural language and contextual relationships. I have also learnt to produce graphical development, expansion and elaboration of intentions, concepts, patterns, disciplines, architectural language and contextual relationships in developing architectural critics’ skill.
