Project 1
 
Case Study 
This project involves producing, orally and in writing (a paper of 3,000 to a maximum of 4000 words, doublespaced), a critical interpretation of Asian architecture and urbanism in relation to relevant issues within the contemporary architecture practises and design. The paper is to differentiate the way in which many varied
factors contribute to the development of Asian architecture and urbanism. The final topic of the paper should be evolved in discussion and consultation with the tutors and should be finalised by the third week of the course. Students will present the summary of the paper with images in class – which contains an outline of the paper covering issues and themes explored, as well as a bibliography.
Project 2
 
Documentation Study: An Asian Street
​This project will involve an interpretation of architectural language in relation to the development of Asian architecture and urbanism based on themes of tradition, modernity and globalisation. Students are required to select specific site in Asia as a case study to conduct a self-investigation through observation and documentation in the form of a series of photography work with a written summary, supported by sketches
and diagrams.

ASIAN

ARCHITECTURE  [ARC 2413]

 

The subject explores the history of South, Southeast and East Asian architecture as a whole within a systematic treatment of architectural design and construction, building science and technology, garden design and city planning through three key themes: tradition, modernity and globalisation. These themes will guide the organisation of weekly lecture and projects, which will proceed from the establishment of a basic theoretical apparatus to the examination of specific cases. Students will develop a written essay on Asian architecture and urbanism and interpret Asian architectural language through verbal and video presentations.
