Architecture Semester 1
Taking architecture has been an interesting experience as I get to grow alongside my peers while learning about how real life architects think and create designs worthy of praise. I get to enhance my drawing skills while studying to be a unique and creative thinker.
Reflection
The lectures from this module have been informative and interesting. Many things that I have learnt about olden architectural styles have come from this module. I believe the assessments that come from the lectures have also been helpful in helping me understand all the topics taught better. The projects I have completed have been engaging and creative in their own ways, making it more interactive and fun in a sense.
Every learning platform has been helpful in providing all the information I needed throughout this module. I feel comfortable knowing that I am able to easily contact tutors and lecturers about questions I have regarding the assignments given. The many different platforms used can sometimes be confusing but all have relayed useful information nonetheless.
I believe that the lecturers have done a great job in teaching us about the importance of studying architecture from older days and preserving what we know about it. Every intricate detail can have so much meaning that it would be a waste to let it go. I am thankful that I had proactive tutors to guide me throughout the duration of this module and that I am able to learn well with the help of my peers as well.
​
Overall in my opinion, this module is a good way to introduce new architecture students into learning how to think and design based on given guidelines and inspirations.
