History 1



The learning outcomes intended for the entire module involve:
The ability to recall appropriate architectural vocabulary when referring to building eras and types.
Illustrate,arrange and compare the sequence of historical periods and their architecture.
Differentiate the various factors that contribute to the progression of form.
To produce clear building analysis which exhibits intention,concepts,patterns,disciplines,architectural languages as well as contextual relationships.

Project 1
PRECEDENT STUDY
(Group)

We were required to conduct a study on specific buildings and produce an analysis report documenting our data.

The analysis report on the Pazzi Chapel,Florence ,Italy.(Italian Renaissance)



Project 2
Analysis Board
(Individual)

We were to produce drawing of the building studied,and to include all our data in the form of floor plans,sections, and elevations.The drawings were to demonstrate the depth of our analysis from the previous project.

Analysis Board



Reflections:
The board allowed me to demonstrate my architectural understanding of the building in terms of conceptual analysis,building massing analysis,circulation analysis,spatial organisation and building section analysis.It was a method for me to utilise to exhibit my knowledge on orthographic projections and to present my understanding of the historical period of Renaissance in Italy.

Project 3
Model

(Group)

Project 3 was model making,in which we were to create a model to communicate our analysis.The model was to be created from Balsa timber with 30cmx30cmx10cm dimensions.

Pazzi Chapel exterior view





Reflections:
Producing the model,took my analysis to the next level,ensuring an understanding of the materials and concepts used.Finally the presentation,allowed me to share my experience and knowledge of the building.

SHAPE GRAMMAR

Image
INDIVIDUAL EXERCISES Based on shape rules taught in class,we were asked to complete a batch of exercises to show our understanding of the rules learnt. PROJECT 1 This is a group project where each group is required to find a natural or man-made element surrounding them that they believe having some underlying design principles. Then, facilitated by the tutor the group should analyse the design principles and translate them into shape rules. Next, the group shall use the newly established rules to create new and original façade designs for any chosen block in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. Form a group of 2 students. Each group is required to find a natural or man-made element from actual observations, books or internet which they believe having certain underlying design principles or rules. This could be identified especially if the element has some repetitive components, gradual enlargement or reduction in scale, gradual rotation, or other predictable ...

MEASURED DRAWINGS-KUALA LUMPUR TEXTILE MUSEUM

Image
TASK: We were assigned to measure and document a historical / heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings,and a model. Along with the drawings and model,an analysis report and photobook were to be submitted too,in order to complete the project.For the presentation,a website and video were also required. Along with the measured data and recordings,we had to individually produce 20 sketches of the building.The sketches were to show physical and intangible qualities and characteristics of the building. REFLECTIONS: Completing this assignment helped me to undertake the responsibility of producing accurate drawings which could be used in the future. It aided in using the most appropriate method of architectural historic documentation and helped me recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation.I learnt to explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements as well as interpret historic architectural element, structure and b...

PROJECT 1 The first outcome of the project will be an A3 sized illustrative chronology poster of Islamic Architecture that interprets the Islamic architectural language and the unifying and diversifying principles of Islamic architecture influences to the architectural development of the Southeast Asia countries in general and Malaysia in particular. a.

Architecture as Pursuit of ‘Ilm: Knowledge xii. Architecture for Iqtisad: Balance xiii. Architecture of Haya’: Modesty xiv. Architecture as Dikr: Remembrance b. The Diversifying principle of Islamic Architecture: i. Architectural principle of ‘Urf REFLECTIONS: Thie project enabled me to study the Islamic principles of architecture,and to understand the architecture of Mosques in South East Asia.
