Students areintroduced to sketching, visual presentationand orthographic techniques and modelmaking in a design studio-based learningenvironment. They also learn to formulatearchitectural design ideas and developmentof aesthetics and 3-dimensional spatialawareness and appreciation through designprimers and exercises.Students are taskedto apply considerations of anthropometry,environmental and functional concerns inthe creation of a simple living habitat in agiven context.BE111ZHistory & Theory of Architecture IIntroduces principles of architectural thought,design and technologies through an overviewof architectural development in early Westernhistory and its parallel development in Asia.It provides students with a basic knowledgeand understanding of architectural designlanguage and thinking to facilitate their owngeneration of critical design strategies in theirproject work. Students are required to expresstheir thought in writing and to articulate theirinterpretation of their own design ideas in theirindividual project work.BE112ZMaterials & ArchitecturalTechnology IProvides students with the fundamentalknowledge of building technology, andarchitectural detailing using basic buildingmaterials. Students explore and discover thedesign potential of these materials in responseto structural and environmental forces.They learn to appreciate the concepts andbehaviour of simple building structures and itscomponents. Students are required to applytheir knowledge through the understandingof basic structural principles and detailing ofthe architectural elements and finishes of theirdesign project.BE113ZEnvironmental Science IIntroduces the fundamentals of ecologyand its impact on global warming andsustainability. It examines the potential ofpassive environmental approaches to minimiseour dependence on artificial or mechanicalmeans of achieving human comfort.

For theirdesign project, students have to apply theirknowledge and skills to render, document andpresent their design.BE120ZArchitectural Design Studio IIRequires students to apply and integrate theirknowledge and skills on a project from designformulation to design development in contextand with reference to local code of practices.Through precedent studies, studentslearn to formulate design strategies withconsiderations for socio cultural influences incommunal housing and modular prefabricationusing precast concrete technology; documenttheir design process in a journal and preparedocumentation of drawings for the purposeof architectural design presentation, statutorysubmissions and detailing of a medium-riseresidential development.BE121ZHistory & Theory of Architecture IIExamines the philosophy and evolution ofdesign language and architectural intentionfrom the 19th Century to the present in theWest and its parallel development in Asia. Itprovides students with a basic knowledgeand understanding of architectural designlanguage and thinking to facilitate their owngeneration of critical design strategies in theirproject work. Students are required to expresstheir thought in writing and to articulatethe interpretation of their own ideas in theirindividual project work.Synopses 253
