Modules:
- Architectural design 03
-Computer Application
- Energy and Architecture
-Visual Communication
STUDY PLATFORMS
MyTimes - Used to get course documents, lecture slides, and most importantly to submit pdf documentations and tutorial homeworks. Still prefer offline submission for manual drawings as its hard to scan large scale drawings. Also has a lot of bugs on some submissions, and is harder to use compared to the last version - Taylor Times.
Taylor mobile app - Only use this for attendance marking and showing digital student ID. Not much complaints except that 1 of my attendance was not taken.
Whatsapp - Used this for quick communication in group works. Very efficient and can get information instantly, compared to Facebook which I rarely used.
Architectural Design 03
The module emphasizes on ‘experiencing space and place’ in architecture. In the subject, students are introduced to, firstly, an exploration of spatial typologies and poetics in architecture; and secondly, the concept of neighborhood and community.
Computer Application
This module inform us on basic building construction and materials used in construction projects of small to medium scale buildings. It focuses on developing an understanding of principle of the building elements which include the substructure and superstructure and common construction materials such as concrete, masonry, timber, metal, and glass.
Energy and Architecture
The module will provide students a comprehensive understanding of how energy is used in buildings. Hence, will introduce principles and ways to achieve energy efficiency in environmental systems operation, renewable energy technology and architectural design features.
Visual Communication
This module emphasizes the basic understanding of visual literacy and communication within the current media industries through the comprehension of design elements and principles. It also focuses on the practical application and ethical considerations of the visual aspect in screen and print based visual communication design.
