ARCHIREKT
The subject aims to develop an understanding of the principles of building preservation/conservation and the methods of recording it in three documentation methods; measured drawings, written documentation and photographic documentation. The ideas of application and management of architectural historic documentation will be presented as part of the overall knowledge of building preservation/conservation
Learning Outcomes
1 .Identify and classify architectural historic structure
2 .Recognize and recall architectural historic structure documentation method
3 .Recommend the appropriate method of architectural historic documentation
4 .Explain the application of architectural historic documentation
5 .Recognize and recall techniques of measured drawings and documentation
6 .Explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements
7 .Describe architectural cultural heritage
8 .Execute fieldwork and hands-on measurements
9 .Translate measured data into scaled drawings
Project 1 : Sketchbook&journal
This is an individual on-site exercise that we are required to sketch the building as well as the site context. Students required to start off from the plans, elevations or sections of the building to understand the building better. The buildings I got was The Harbour Kuli Culture Gallery, Melaka. Throughout this project, I have identified the tangible and intangible essence that is contained within the architecture realm of the building. I learned that we should appreciate all of the architectural cultural heritage that we have right now.
This is my sketch journal

Project 2 : Measured Drawing
This is a group project where we are assigned to measure and document our building , Harbour Kuli Culture Gallery and translate them into a set of drawings and a model. Through this project, I learned the proper way to measure a building and document it. Besides, this was my first time to use Autocad. Although it was a tough job for me at the first, I managed to complete one part of the drawings. We managed to translate all the measured data into scale drawings. Next, I have recalled all the construction methods and architectural details that I have learned to adapt in this project. On the other hand, we managed to complete our model on time. I realized the important of the team work.

Project 3 : Report on Measured Building
The report is a document that accompanies the set of the 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 support the inhabitation of the building.
