Project 2 
Measured Drawing

 

 

This project aims to produce a set of measured drawings of historical buildings or structures in a specific location. A report containing important and historical information of the buildings will complement the drawings. It is an on-site exercise where students are required to execute fieldwork and hands-on measurement exercise

 

In a group of 24 students we are given to measure the Tzu Chi Merit House in Ipoh, taking all physical information of the building from its location to spatial layout as well as the details. 

 

Upon completion of this project i was able to recommend appropriate method of architectural historic documentation, and recognise and recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation. Moreover, i was able to the as-built constructions, architectural details and elements, and interpret historic architectural element, structure and building,

Project 3 
Report and Vedio on Measured Building

 

The main objectives of this project are to document the significance of the building to accompany measured drawings, and enable us to analyse the relationship between architecture and the significance of the building as well as its inhabitation.

 

Within the same group, we were given to produce an indepth report and a 3-5 minute video on the HIstory and Architecuture of Tzu Chi Merit House.

 

This specific project gave me the ability to explain the application of architectural historic documents and describe architectural cultural heritage. Furthermore, i was able to elaborate the relationship between architecture and the significance of the building as well as its inhabitaion.
