ASIAN ARCHITECTURE
This module explores the history of South, Southeast and East Asian architecture as a whole within a systematic treatment of architectural design and construction, building science and technology, garden design and city planning through three key themes: sustainability, tradition and modernity & globalisation.
PROJECT 1: Research in Asian Architecture
In this module, we were required to research and discuss significant issues to generate a critical understanding of tradition, modernity and globalisation in the Asian architectural contexts, and present our findings in the form of a research poster and seminar presentation.
Through this module, we are able to describe the historical development of the main strands of Asian architecture, identify the issues related to the historical and chronological transitions of Asian architectural history.
PROJECT 2: Contextual Architecture Study
We were required to analyse how the selected architectural design responded to its contexts and present them in the form of A2 presentation visual. Through a specific case study, we were able to analyse and discuss the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural and intellectual context within the Asian region, differentiate the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of Asian architecture and urbanism.
