Precedent Studies.

In the Architecture Culture and History 2 module, we were assigned to do precedent studies of the Modern Masters. For the first part of the assignment, our group did an analysis on Villa Tugendhat. From the assignment, I learnt about techniques to investigate the buildings from different aspects to learn about the architectural theory applied to the building. The assignment taught us about the knowledge about how design responded to the needs of the family and functions. It is beneficial for my learning in architecture.

For the second part of the assignment, I was required to further study and analyse on the topic chosen which is facade and compare with another building from another modern master. This assignment helps me to understand the intrinsic meaning behind the design of a facade. The understanding is further strengthen by looking into the philosophy related to the architect and expound it with the comparative essay. In a nutshell, the learning outcomes for the both assignment are satisfying.
