Architectural Culture & History 2
“Dates are much more than isolated markers of events. Organised into a chronology, dates establish sequence and synchronicity” ~ Clint Twist, 1999.
Architecture Culture & History 2 [ARC 60203] is a continuation of the investigation of architecture history development that began in Architecture Culture & History 1 [ARC 1313]. Lectures will provide detailed accounts of the principal developments in the Western world from the revolutionary period to the present day. Buildings will be explored with reference to major contemporary examples and the work and philosophy of significant exponents. Students will undertake a major research of a significant building, complete with investigation of the major influences that led to its development and in turn its influence in other architectural aspects.
Project 1 (Group): Timeline
The objectives of this project are as follows:
To allow students to undertake a research analysis process on Modern Malaysian architecture practices throughout history through literature review and document analysis and present an appropriate chronology account of the Malaysian architecture based on the understanding gained through the analysis procedure.
To familiarize students to the activities of culmination and production of a research analysis through assemblage, chronologically indices and evaluation of information; composing and organization of study; assembly of illustration and text; design layout composition; poster and presentation.
Reflection
Project 1 explores the variety of buildings in KL, we're required to study these buildings and their history to find out what is their architectural style and when it was built. Then it requires us to compile all of the data into a timeline which makes use of photoshop skills and presentation.
Project 2 (Individual): Report
Reflection
This project has given the opportunity to explore architectural heritage buildings and create a report about it. It has also taught me & my group more about Malaysian Architectural history and its impact and importance.
