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 01
As an introduction to architectural design, this design module aims to present and explain design through the expression of the perception of ‘self’ and the body, construction, and materiality in terms of tectonics. Students will undertake a series of studio-based exercises and assignments that introduces the fundamental methods, principles and approaches in design thinking and basic spatial design.
Design Communication
The module introduces fundamental skills for the appropriate communication of architectural design. It engages different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings to prepare students with the skills required in design projects. These skills are taught through a series of freehand and constructed drawings held both outdoors and in the studio.
Architecture History and Theory
A chronological survey of the developments of Ancient architecture to Western architecture from the beginning of time to the period of Enlightenment, with consideration of the intellectual, aesthetic, technological, political and economic factors which have influenced the design of buildings. These issues are explored with reference to major contemporary examples and the work and philosophy of significant exponents.
