For this project we were separated into a group of 4 to 5 members and each group was given a historical building to study and research about.
We were required to answer the questions as listed below in the form of sketches and short brief/write up,
1. Who is the architect/founder of the building?
2. Where and when was the building built?
3. What is the form and shape of the building?
4. What is the function/purpose of the building?
5. What materials/methods are used for construction?
6. What makes your building historically significant/meaningful?
My group members included Tan Chee Siang, Tan Hsuan Lin and I, the building that was assigned to us was Salisbury Cathedral which is located in England.
And the questions I was required to answer were :
