Project 2: Comparative Analysis

(Group) In a group of 8, we were assigned two Merdeka-era structures to research and analyze for their organization layout, circulation, architectural design elements and principles etc. Then, we were to compare their differences and similarities, taking note of their construction methods and history.

My groupmates for this project were:

Alexandra Anne Loo Menq Xuan
Amy Lee Qian Hui
Chew Yun Fay
Chow Yong Xuan
Filzani Illia Ibrahim
Shareeha Binti Shahreeq Gunethiran
Thaarini Muneswaran
Teoh Jin Wen (myself)

I was responsible for analyzing the rhythm and repetition present int both structures, as well as the symmetry an balance. I played a small role supplying pictures, finding resources and participating in discussions.

Final Comparative Analysis Booklet

Reflection

MLO 1

MLO 1 - Employ appropriate visual and verbal architectural vocabulary when referring to building types, series and periods.

By referencing books about the construction projects, I gained a better understanding of the proper use of architectural language.

MLO 2

MLO 2 - Show the appropriate sequence of historical periods and how they are represented architecturally.

The history of our nation's independence was celebrated through the construction of these structures. The expert engineering involved is a gem that we can afford to learn from for future projects.

MLO 3

MLO 3 - Discover the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of
form.

Construction in the Malaysian climate is something that must be heavily considered when adapting construction techniques from overseas
