ANALYSIS REPORT
In project 2, we work in a group of 8 and we carry out research on history, architecture elements and other building components to produce a comparison report about Stadium Negara and Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. We deepened our research on the construction and materialization of the buildings not mentioning analyzing the layout. The report contains a lot of content regarding both buildings mentioned.
This module was carry out online throughout the entire semester due to the the pandemic outbreak. A lecture video or live lecture will be carried out each week and tutorial tasks are also provided. I enjoy doing tutorials tasks right after lectures because it helped me to have a clearer understanding on topics that I have just learned. Since I was able to obtain the knowledge without forcefully memorizing it, I am able to face mid term and final examinations without being stressed out. The Times activities are also interesting as we will be able to obtain digital badges after completing the activities. Although this module was carried out online, I still enjoyed the learning process as I could study in a conducive environment with provided lectures.
