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

This project is split into three parts: an online discussion forum, a studies sketch report, and finally a presentation board. In groups of 5, we were to create an online discussion forum with the intent of creating a discussion on our building, the St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. Within the forum, we had our own links in which we were to answer specific questions about the buildling.

Part 2 deals with us analyzing specific details of a building, and producing the findings in a sketchbook format. For me, I analyzed the  Building plan-section/elevation analysis (i. Plan to Section or Elevation, ii. Natural light penetration, iii. Significant architectural element) of the building.

 

PART 3: PRESENTATION BOARD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the 3rd and final part of this project, we are to compile our findings unto one A2 sized presentation board. As the size limit was an issue, I had to condense my findings, leaving out non-essential bits of information in order to present what I believe to be the most relevant and important to the topic.
