overall experience
Despite the module being carried out fully online, I felt very privileged that I can access online software and materials like Times, Microsoft teams, and Zoom which helps me to improve my overall study processes.

OVERALL REFLECTION
THROUGHOUT THIS MODULE, I HAVE UNDERSTOOD HOW ARCHITECTURE HAS CHANGED FROM TIME TO TIME STARTING IN THE PRE-HISTORICAL PERIOD TO THE PRESENT TIME. I HAVE ALSO EXPLORED DEEPLY INTO SEVERAL ERAS SUCH AS THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT, ANCIENT GREEK, THE MODERN CLASSICAL PERIOD, AND SO ON AS WELL AS IDENTIFYING COMMON FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS WHICH ARE INVOLVED IN THOSE ARCHITECTURE STYLES.
​
MOREOVER, I GOT TO FURTHER ENHANCE MY UNDERSTANDING OF ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS SUCH AS SITE ANALYSIS, CONTEXTUAL STUDIES, CIRCULATION, AND VARIOUS ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS THROUGH RESEARCH AND ASSIGNMENTS. ALSO, DOING ARCHITECTURE ANALYSIS REPEATEDLY HAS HELPED ME TO ENHANCE MY ABILITY TO ANALYSE THINGS MORE QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
APPLICATION IN REAL LIFE
THE OPPORTUNITY OF LEARNING AND EXPLORING DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL ERAS WILL HELP ME IN TERMS OF COMING OUT WITH CREATIVE IDEAS WHILE ALSO APPRECIATING HOW ARCHITECTURE IN THE PAST HAS INSPIRED AND LAID A FOUNDATION ON THE BUILDINGS WE SEE NOWADAYS. BESIDES, ENHANCING MY ANALYSING SKILLS WILL BENEFIT ME AS AN ARCHITECT IN THE FUTURE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEM-SOLVING AND SITE STUDIES.
