PROJECT 1:  WIKI TIMES ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUM

PROJECT 2: SKETCH JOURNAL

PROJECT 3: PRESENTATION BOARD

THE AIM OF THE PRECEDENT STUDY IS TO INVESTIGATE A HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BUILDING FROM A GIVEN ERA. THROUGH THE BUILDING STUDY,  STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING IN THAT TIME AND UNDERSTAND THE ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT FROM TIME TO TIME.

IN A GROUP OF FOUR STUDENTS, WE HAD TO DIVIDE THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE GIVEN BUILDING TO CARRY OUT OUR RESEARCH. WE HAD TO DO THE RESEARCH ABOUT THE TIMELINE, HISTORY, TRANSFORMATIONS, ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, PURPOSE OF THE BUILDING, BUILDINF MATERIALS AND OTHER RELATED INFORMATION IN RELATION TO THE BUILDING

THROUGH THESE PROJECTS, I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDINGS IN DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL PERIODS.  I LEARNT TO COMMUNICATE WITH MY GROUP MEMBERS ABOUT THE BUILDING WE GOT. FROM THESE PROJECTS, I LEARNT ABOUT THE IMPORTANCES OF THE CULTURE,HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL TO A BUILDING. I MANAGED TO ANALYSE BUILDING WITH ITS DESIGN CONCEPTS, PATTERNS, DESIGN INTENTIONS, AND ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE. FURTHERMORE, I LEARNT TO EXPAND AND ELABORATE THE BUILDING INFORMATION AND RELATED TO ITS PERIOD.
