This module explores the history of South, Southeast and East Asian architecture as a whole within a systematic treatment of architectural design and construction, building science and technology, garden design and city planning through three key themes: sustainability, tradition and modernity & globalization. These themes will guide the organization of weekly lecture and projects, which will proceed from the establishment of a basic theoretical apparatus to the examination of specific cases.

Self-Reflection
Every lesson and projects helped me learn a lot of knowledge. For this semester, we can back to campus to have face to face tutorial with our lecturer. I think physical tutorial is better than online tutorial, I very enjoy and like physical tutorial classes. From this module, I learnt cultural, historical and established architectural theories, philosophies and context. Develop design to a level for regulatory application for Building Plan submission that complies to the requirements of local authorities, including understanding of building regulations, basic building construction and materials, environmental considerations and building services. I think these knowledge really benefit to me and I would like to thank my lecturers for teaching me a lots.
