ARCHITECTURE CULTURE & HISTORY 1
In this project we focused on investigating historical works to enrich architectural design and ideas. Through the study of existing buildings, we were able to inform and expand our own architectural vocabulary and develop design concepts.
Learning outcomes
1. To produce building analysis which document intentions, concepts, patterns, disciplines, architectural language and contextual relationships.
2. To produce graphical development, expansion and elaboration of intentions, concepts, patterns, disciplines, architectural language and contextual relationships in developing architectural critics’ skill.
