These issues are explored with reference to major contemporary examples and the work and philosophy of significant exponents.

Buildings will be explored with reference to major contemporary examples and the work and philosophy of significant exponents. Students will undertake a major research of a significant building, complete with investigation of the major influences that led to its development and in turn its influence in other architectural aspects.

​

Personal Reflection: Personally, I don't really enjoy studying about the past or anything history-related. However, this module was surprisingly incredibly fun and my knowledge has been amplified about architecture in general. Only thing missing is Islamic Architecture :)

I personally didn't mind this module being online as TIMES website was utilized perfectly by the tutors to ensure the smoothness of the learning process. Tutors are also very supportive and helpful, I wish I could have the same tutors for other modules as well.
