ARCHITECTURE HISTORY & 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.


Lectures will provide detailed accounts of the principal developments in the early world from the ancient to revolutionary period to the present day. Buildings will be explored with reference to major contemporary examples and the work and philosophy of significant exponents.


Students will undertake major research of a significant building, complete with the investigation of the major influences that led to its development and in turn its influence in other architectural aspects.

SELF-REFLECTION

LECTURES

The lectures by Dr. Filzani Illia, Ms. Delliya, Mr. Azim, and Mr. Syawn were extremely informative and fun as they also included games that we can participate in. I can also clearly observe the enthusiasm they have for architectural history, which also makes me more enthusiastic to learn

ONLINE LEARNING

Although I do not prefer to learn via an online platform, I appreciate how the lecturers provided an ample amount of social media platforms that we can reach out to them on

TUTOR AND MODULE COORDINATOR

My tutor for Project 1 was Ms. Delliya Zain. She was strict with her markings but always reasonable, and she was helpful to me throughout the whole project. I would love to see her again in my future modules

​

For Project 2, my team was assigned to Mr. Syawn. His feedbacks were extremely helpful and detrimental in making our project a success

ASSESSMENTS AND PROJECTS

The tutorial assignments given provided me with the opportunity to learn and instilled the knowledge that was delivered during the lectures. I enjoy our projects as well because apart from learning history, we were also given the opportunity to be creative in both projects
