Project 1
ANALYSIS REPORT (25% GROUP)

In this assignment, we were assigned to create a Comparative Analysis Report for Project 1 (Group). The task involved analyzing two case studies of heritage buildings in the context of Modern Historical Architecture. The assignment aimed to familiarize us with research and analysis techniques, including assemblage, chronological arrangements, diagramming exercises, indices, and data evaluation. We were also required to focus on composing and organizing the study, assembling illustrations and text, and creating effective posters for presentation.

reflection

The collaboration on the Comparative Analysis Report was a serious undertaking. From case study selection to meticulous analysis, each step demanded careful consideration. Peer feedback during drafting was instrumental in refining our work. The preparation for the presentation underscored the need for clarity and coherence in our collective effort. In reflection, the experience emphasized the responsibility and shared purpose that comes with working as a group on a substantial project.

tgc's acquired:

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills: I am unwavering in my determination to overcome obstacles. Rather than succumbing to challenges, I actively engage in research and seek support from others to find solutions. An illustrative instance is our encounter with limited online information about the DBP building; in response, we conducted a site visit to gather more comprehensive details.

Interpersonal Skills: This assignment has deepened my grasp of effective time management and the significance of teamwork. Proper time management ensures productivity and meeting deadlines, while teamwork, with its collaborative nature, taps into diverse perspectives for shared success. I've also gained a heightened awareness of how crucial effective communication and cooperation are for overall project success.
