| Module Aim: |
1. To introduce students to the development of architectural history from prehistoric primitive hut through the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome to the present day.
2. To introduce learners to the concepts and architectural language that defines the specific periods / styles on the architectural timeline.
3. To introduce students to the influence of construction technology / techniques on the development of architectural styles through time.
4. To introduce students to the influence of construction materials development and invention on the evolution of architectural styles.
5. Introduce students to the influence of scientific, technological & industrial innovation in fields to lighting, heating, sanitation & ventilation and show its impact on architectural style and design. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
| LO1 |
To understand and demonstrate a knowledge of architectural history from prehistoric primitive hut through the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome till the present day to prepare reports for accurate representation of buildings in history for film and theatre sets. |
| LO2 |
To understand and research and date historical styles & architectural language of buildings and architectures in the historical timeline of architecture for inclusion in technical research reports for use in film and theatre. |
| LO3 |
To understand, demonstrate and research the influence of construction technology / techniques on the development of architectural styles through time, to create accurate representation and reference for use in film and stage sets. |
| LO4 |
To understand and research the principles of construction materials development and structural systems and understand their influence on architectural design and style through time to support and create film and stage sets that are historically accurate. |
| LO5 |
To research and understand the influence of scientific, technological & industrial innovation in fields to lighting, heating, sanitation & ventilation and show its impact on architectural style and design and apply this knowledge to provide realism to film and stage sets. |

Research Report/Project 1
Create a research report for a particular architectural style/ period, domestic or commercial building. (e.g., Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Victorian, Georgian, modernist.). Consider the design, architectural features and material finishes of the exterior and interior of the building. Research the technology / appliances used for lighting, heating, ventilation, and sanitation. (LO 1, 2 &3)
Report Project 2
Essay / research report on the influence of technology and material development on the evolvement of architectural style and form. (LO 1, 2,3,4 & 5)
