Architecture Culture & History 1

Project 1: Precedent Study

In this project, we are required to form in a group of 4 and select an era of historical period. Then, we are supposed to decide on a building on the period. My group and I decided "Paladianism" as our era and "Victoria & Albert Museum" as our building.

Part 1: Essay (group)

In this project, we were required to write a 500-word essay. We may include images, sketches or diagrams to fit maximum 5 A4-size papers of the chosen building on its design ideas and significant contribution to its culture.

Below is our essay:-

Part 2: Analysis Presentation Board (individual)

We were needed to create an A2-sized presentation board. The presentation board should include floor plans, building sections, analysis diagrams and sketches. Most importantly, your drawings should communicate the depth of your analysis of the building.

Part 3: Model (group)

In the same group, we needed to create a model to communicate our analysis. Most importantly, the model should communicate the important structure, components, ideas and concepts of your precedent. We must use "balsa timber" to build the model.

The following is our process of model making:-

Part 4: Verbal Presentation (Group & Individual)

The presentation should communicate our precedent study to the class through analysis drawings and diagrams, model and essay.

Reflection

In this presentation session, i felt that i've improved my verbal presentation and i have known how to have a good communication between people to people and the way how to attract them with the thing that we present to them.
