In light of the upcoming modern architecture GEM exam this freaking saturday at 9am at SDE Exhibition Hall with me sitting at Seat No. 202, i shall rant in this post.
Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh....
This might be the module with the most boring lectures but ironically, the content within itself isnt that boring, provided you have powerful engrish to be able to understand the chunky text in the textbook.
You also need good visual and observational skills to know what the author is describing about, like pilasters, cornices, facades, cubism...
Okok im not trying to boast about my 'extensive' and 'profound' knowledge of architecture haha.
But really, architecture is not just about what you suddenly feel like building or what your image of a nice, perfect building is like.
Every actions and preferences of the ideal building always have a theory to them.
It can also be called "The Psychology of Buildings and their Architecture" if ever there is such a module.
The worse thing about studying this module is that architecture has many movements such as Modernism, Futurism, Classicism, Organicism etc
And every one of the movements has its own prominent architects such as Bruno Taut, Walter Gropius, Adolf Loos etc.
And every one of these architects has built something, obviously.
The list goes on.
As i studied, i realised i do have a liking for some architectural movements because the styles of the buildings suit my taste.
For example, Organicism (Frank Lloyd Wright's houses especially)
Let me show you some pictures:

Ward Willits House

Fallingwater

Avery Coonley House

So how? Ultra-modern right?
An idea of your perfect house?
Ok back to studying...
