SEMESTER 2
This semester, I had the opportunity to engage with three highly enriching modules: Asian Architecture, Architecture Design II, and Building Construction and Materials. Each of these subjects deepened my understanding of architecture from different perspectives and introduced me to new concepts that will be essential in my future practice. The study of Asian Architecture broadened my awareness of cultural and regional influences on design, while Architecture Design II pushed my creativity and technical skills to new heights. Meanwhile, Building Construction and Materials provided me with a solid foundation in the practical aspects of construction, offering a deeper understanding of how materials shape both the form and function of architectural projects. The combination of these modules allowed me to enhance my critical thinking, improve my design approach, and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the built environment. Overall, this semester has been both challenging and rewarding, offering new insights and skills that will guide my architectural journey.

MODULES
1
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN II
structured as an introduction to architectural design. This preliminary design module aims to present and explain design through the expression of the perception of ‘self’ and the body, construction, and materiality in terms of tectonicsmodule offers a comprehensive exploration of fundamental principles and practical applications in the field of architecture
2
ASIAN ARCHITECTURE & THEORIES
This module is a chronological survey of the developments of Ancient architecture to Western architecture from the beginning of time to the period of Enlightenment, with consideration of the intellectual, aesthetic, technological, political and economic factors which have influenced the design of buildings.
3
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS
The module introduces fundamental skills for the appropriate communication of architectural design. It engages different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings and to produce designs at appropriate complexity and scales up to the schematic level using appropriate communication tools.
