This booklet documents all assignments done under the course, History and Theory of Architecture II. We began with Pecha Kucha exercises. These exercises are a product of the activities and discussions that take place in class. Pecha Kucha exercise 1: "What new buildings did architects/designers contribute in response to a disaster?" . In this group exercise, we were required to find out the ways in which architects are able to design a building that can withstand disasters. Pecha Kucha exercise 2: "Does art influence architecture, or is it the other way round?" . The question arose during our Art Nouveau & the Vienna Secessionist lecture which helps students to think in a deeper manner. Pecha Kucha exercise 3: "How has Van de Velde blended the architecture of Rietveld Schröder House with the architecture of the neighbour(s)?" We dive deep into how the architect respond to the surrounding buildings by having a discussion with the class. Pecha Kucha exercise 4: "Frank Lloyd Wright's Influence in Architecture. " We were assigned to find the influences that Frankie has contributed to the industry. These are followed by Assignment 1 to Assignment 3. Assignment 1: "5 Sets of Total 10 Sketches" covers buildings lectured on from Week 1 to Week 5. Assignment 2: "5 Sets of Total 10 Sketches" covers movements lectured from Week 6 onwards. Assignment 3: "Portrait in Timeline" will be learning about the various European art movements of the 19th and 20th century. We were given the option to choose an art movement that we believe best represents the way we view the world—or a way we'd like to attempt to perceive the world since the movement's concept is so unlike to yours.
