For the first project, we are to produce a sketch journal of 10 sketches comprising of 2 or moreof the categories below. The sketches are required to be captioned and properly annotated.
1. Genius Loci
2. Poetic Quality
3.Cultural Attributes
4. Technical.Construction Details
5. Plan and Elevations
The objectives of this project are as follows:
ï‚· To train students to be observant to their surrounding
ï‚· To instil the culture of documenting as part of the learning process in architectural education
 To enhance the students’ graphic communication skills in capturing important details and the spirit of the place
Learning Outcomes of this Project :
ï‚· Identify architectural historic structure
ï‚· Capture the tangible and intangible essence that is contained within the architecture realm

Project 2 - Measured Drawing
This project aims to produce a set of measured drawings of historical buildings or structures in a specific location. A report containing important and historical information of the buildings will complement the drawings. It is an on-site exercise where students are required to execute fieldwork and hands-on measurement exercise.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:
ï‚· Recommend the appropriate method of architectural historic documentation
ï‚· Recognize and recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation
ï‚· Explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements
ï‚· Interpret historic architectural element, structure and building
ï‚· Execute fieldwork and hands-on measurement exercise
ï‚· Translate measured data into scaled drawings
ï‚· Produce a report on the buildings highlighting its importance and historical significance

Project 3 - Report and Video on Measured Building
The report is a document that accompanies the set of drawings for the building that is measured during the semester. Basically, the report will elaborate on the significance of the building being measured from various aspects such as architectural, historical and cultural. In this report, students are required to relate the architecture of the building to its significance, highlighting how the two support the inhabitation of the building. A video documenting the building is required to provide 3D experience of the building.
The objectives of this project are as follows:
ï‚· To documents the significance of the building to accompany the measured drawings
ï‚· To enable students to analyse the relationship between architecture and the significance of the building as well as its inhabitation
Learning Outcomes of this Project
ï‚· Explain the application of architectural historic documents
ï‚· Describe architectural cultural heritage
ï‚· Elaborate the relationship between architecture and the significance of the building as well as its inhabitation
