SKETCHING ANALYSIS
This research project adopts document analysis methodology that involves documenting, analyzing, producing, and a critical chronological and diagrammatical interpretation of Modern Malaysian architectural history. This project emphasizes critical analysis of the post Merdeka/Independence of Malaysian architecture in the effort to understand the influences of post-modernism to architectural design and construction, building science and technology, and urban design. The project is to distinguish the way in which many diverse factors contribute to the development of Modern Malaysian architecture. The development of the project will involve active discussion, analysis interpretation and consultation with the tutor.
Task
The student will conduct a research and architectural analysis on a selected building. Each student will select FIVE (5) buildings from the given list (list will be given later). Students may also choose their own historical buildings, subject to the agreement of the lecturer.
REFLECTION
During this assignment, I learned about Malaysian architecture. Before that, I always thought that the only famous buildings in Malaysia were Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) and Kuala Lumpur Tower. But after this assignment, I started to learn more about the local architecture and history. It's very knowledgeable and it's fun to do a quick sketch around the building.
