Architecture History and Theory
Project 1
Sketching Analysis
The history of architecture traces the changes in architecture through various traditions, regions, overarching stylistic trends, and dates. The historical richness creates a very vibrant architectural fabric.
Project 2
Comparative Analysis Report
A comparative analysis process on Modern Malaysian architecture practices throughout history referencing literature review and document analysis. Hence from such, present an appropriate chronological account of the Malaysian architecture.
Project 1: Sketching Analysis
By recording, documenting and analysing the buildings, we can contribute to preserve the historical evidence of the
valuable historical Architecture. The findings are to be compiled in an A4 poster and booklet. We were tasked to choose 5 buildings from a given list, each building is from a different, significant time period, which are: Pre-Historic, Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greece and Rome, Middle Ages and Renaissance, and Age of Enlightenment.
Project 2: Comparative Analysis
This research project adopts document analysis methodology that involves documenting, analyzing, producing, and a critical chronological and diagrammatical interpretation of Modern Malaysian architectural history. This project emphasizes critical analysis of the post Merdeka/Independence of Malaysian architecture in the effort to understand the influences of post-modernism to architectural design and construction, building science and technology, and urban design. The project is to distinguish the way in which many diverse factors contribute to the development of Modern Malaysian architecture.
