SKETCHING ANALYSIS

Project 1

The history of architecture traces the changes in architecture through various traditions, regions, overarching
stylistic trends, and dates. The historical richness creates a very vibrant architectural fabric. However, many
historical buildings may face the risk of being demolished to make way for more contemporary buildings. Thus, by
recording, documenting and analysing the buildings, we can contribute to preserve the historical evidence of the
valuable historical Architecture.

​

Learning Outcomes
1. Employ appropriate visual and verbal architectural vocabulary when referring to building types, series and
periods
2. Show the appropriate sequence of historical periods and how they are represented architecturally.
3. Discover the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of form.

In this project, we were tasked to conduct research and architectural analysis on 5 selected buildings from 5 different periods; Prehistoric, Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greece and Rome, Middle Ages and Renaissance and Age of Enlightenment.

​

We were to compile an A4 booklet documenting these heritage buildings using notes, photos and diagrams.

​

This was both an enjoyable and an informative project as I had a great time doing it while it also provided me with a lot of information about these heritage buildings. Moreover, it was my first time doing a critical analysis so it also was a great introduction to this process as I learned a great deal about architectural styles, construction and components. It was also a great way to familiarise myself with new architectural terminologies.
