Project 1A : ONLINE GROUP FORUM
This project focuses on investigating historical works to enrich architectural design and ideas. Through the study of existing buildings, students are able to communicate and expand their own architectural vocabulary and develop design concepts. In a group of 5, students are required to conduct precedent study analysis on specific building through on-line forum discussion, analysis drawings, verbal and board presentations. This precedent study analysis should help clarify the research question of “why” that specific building is historically, culturally and architecturally importance; and “how” the design concepts derived from that particular building can be developed and expanded to be creatively and innovatively integrated into future design project.

PART B: PRECEDENT STUDY & COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS JOURNAL AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS REPORT
For this project, we were to make a sketch journal on our building. Sketches and diagrams are to be drawn into the sketch journal and a total of 500 words have to be written.
We are to do in-depth precedent analyses that include the accounts listed below:
-
Related illustrative Architectural Historical Timeline in chronology order that highlights and explains the standing of the case study in Architecture History.
-
With reference to the timeline generates comparative analyses of the case study with the before and after architectural style.
-
With reference to the timeline explain the technology development and advancement related to the case study.​

PART C: ANALYSIS PRESENTATION BOARD
This project is where we have to place what we have learnt about on Salisbury Cathedral in the previous projects into an A2 board. We have part A and part B to answer, part B has five questions where each member of our group has to choose one to answer.
The question I chose:
A. Answers to the Precedent Study Analysis questions below:
-
How does the building reflect the spirit of the time and place for which it was built?
-
What are the initial ideas and the design concept?
-
How the initial ideas and the design concept affecting the architecture?
B. Illustration of Precedent Study Analysis in relation to the series of building conceptual elements listed below – each student is to select and conduct analysis of one element from # 1 to 5 and to synthesize the design concept Partí of # 6.
