ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUM
On-line Group Forum Task: Each group is required to collectively address the questions below via TIMES WikiSpace discussion forum. As such each student in the group needs to only select just one set of questions. All discussion must be posted in TIMES Wiki Space in the form of:
a. clear and legible photographs and scanned sketches.
b. short brief /write-up.
For the historical building, my group was given The Facade Reims of Cathedral which is also known as Notre Dame of Paris. As for the individual analysis report part, I've chosen to do research on :
i. Where and when was the building built?
ii. How the context, building period and evolution makes the building historically significant and meaningful?

PRECEDENT STUDY & ANALYSIS SKETCHES PRESENTATION & ANALYSIS REPORT
After an indepth research on our building, we are to pick a topic and present our findings through sketches. I've chosen analysis on :
- how does building reflect the spirit of the time and place for which it was built
-What are the initial ideas and the design concept
- How the initial ideas and the design concept affecting the architecture
- natural light penetration, plans to sections or elevation and significant architectural element on the Facade Reims of Cathedral.

FINAL PRESENTATION BOARD.
For the final project, we are to compile our sketches in relation to our individual analysis report into a A2 board.
Learning Outcomes
Through this project, I've learnt about the appropriate verbal architectural vocalbulary when referring to building types and styles. I also learnt about the architectural elements and history throughout the research on my bulidng which is in the Gothic architecture period. This could be helpful for me in designing building concepts and styles that I'm referring to.
Besides that, in process of making the final presentation board, I've learnt to document design intentions, concepts, architectural language and how to express them in an organized way. This is also helpful for me to improve my presentation board layout skills.
