CULTURE AND HISTORY II (ARC 60203)
Architecture culture and history II introduced the history of western architecture over the last 200 years. For instance, this module taught the development of western architecture between industrial revolution and post world war 2. So that, students know how architects have used architectural language in various historical periods and places and apply the concept on their design.
PROJECT 1: PRECEDENT STUDIES
From this project, I understood the principle, ideas and contributing factors of modern master. This project divided into group and individual part. In the group work, I have learnt to communicate with my group members. At the same time, I found that team dynamics is important in doing this project. Therefore, we can complete our work on time. For the individual part, I have gained more knowledge when I was doing my own analysis. Besides, I also learnt to work independently. For example, I think and find information critically so that my work will be clearer and more detail.
PROJECT 2: WEB BOOK
My friends and I have chosen Tung Shin Hospital which located at Klang Valley as our research building in this project. In this project, we have enhanced the knowledge of the principle, ideas and contributing factor of Klang Valley. Meanwhile, we also learnt to identify the specific architectural features of modern architecture in Klang Valley. Moreover, I found that cooperation acts as an important role in this project. We divided our work so that each of us can concentrate and do the deeper analysis. Hence, we can do well in the assignment. Other than that, we have improved our problem solving skill during this assignment.
