Module Description: |
1. To introduce students to the development of architectural history from prehistoric primitive hut through the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome to the present day. 2. To introduce learners to the concepts and architectural language that defines the specific periods / styles on the architectural timeline. 3. To introduce students to the influence of construction technology / techniques on the development of architectural styles through time. 4. To introduce students to the influence of construction materials development and invention on the evolution of architectural styles. 5. Introduce students to the influence of scientific, technological & industrial innovation in fields to lighting, heating, sanitation & ventilation and show its impact on architectural style and design.
