semester 1

was structured as an introduction to architectural design; a preliminary design module that aims to present and explain design through the expression of the perception of 'self' and the body, construction and materiality in terms of tectonics. Through fundamental methods, principles and approaches, we are challenged in design thinking and basic spatial design with considerations of anthropometrics and ergonomics.

introduced fundamental skills for the appropriate communication of architectural design. It engaged different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings to prepare us with the skills required in design projects. These skills were mainly taught through a series of freehand and constructed drawings.

taught the chronological history of the developments of Ancient architecture to Western architecture through various gamification and technology applications (eg. BllippAR)
