Project Reflection -
The given tutorial exercises was a great opportunity to take notes of the architectural elements, components and details of each historical era. By sketching and drawing, it helped me to better remember the differences of each elements as I learn better visually to aid in our final examination quiz later on.
PROJECT 1
SKETCHING ANALYSIS
For our first project, students are to work individually to undertake research analysis on different buildings based on different historical era through sketching. The final outcome of this project requires students to use the knowledge acquired through lectures and research to produce 5 selected different building/structure analysis which consists of information such as building function, architect, location, organization analysis, construction methods, etc.
Final Outcome -
Project Reflection -
For our first project, I was able to learn independently by using the internet as a source to do research on the different architectural elements of significant buildings/structure in each historical period of time. For this project, I also find the importance of planning and composition of each page to deliver the information of each building/structure clearly and effectively.
PROJECT 2
ANALYSIS REPORT
For our second project, students are required to work as a group to conduct a comparative analysis report of two case studies between local heritage buildings. Our group was assigned to make an analysis report on Menara Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka and Stadium Merdeka. The outcome of this project is familiarise students of the post Merdeka or Independence of Malaysian architecture by undertaking critical analysis in the effort to understand the influences of post-modernism to architectural design and construction.
Final Outcome -
Project Reflection -
For our second project, I was able to work in a group and was limited to virtual meetings due to the pandemic. However, my group was able to work together and come up with the comparative analysis report by dividing tasks suitable for each person. This project also allowed me to learn and understand more on local Malaysian architecture of significant heritage buildings.

communication skills -
For our second project, we are required to work as a group. Due to the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to meet each other to work on the project face to face. However, we managed to communicate to each other using different methods such as group chats and also video calls to finish the project together.
lifelong learning -
For this module, I was able to do deep research and work on each projects independently. Using the technology we have today, I was able to take advantages of different sources to gather information I needed to create my report and softwares to draft and plan my drawings. The information gathered from our tutorial exercises, lectures and projects from this module will also be a lifelong knowledge to learn.
interpersonal skills -
Our final project made me realize how important teamwork is to a group. For this assignment, I believe that we worked great as a team. This is because, I find that each one of us did their very best in their parts that they are assigned with. Not only that, time management in our group was also great as we keep tracks of the requirements we had to do for the project by making lists to remind each other.
