reflection

From this assignment, I'm able to resolve basic building construction, materials, and environmental considerations, produce and justify a design of a small-scale community building within an open/suburban context, following analysis
and exploration of the site, the user requirements, environmental sustainability, buildability, and spatial poetics, and communicate design through effective visual and expressive verbal presentation to peer, tutors, and architects from industry.

In this assignment, I learnt about how to conduct analysis about sensory and make it into a report for study. Besides that, I learnt how to do site analysis which is an important part of this assignment. Something major I had also learnt in this project is doing digital drawings and rendering.

As I'm required to present to invited people from the architecture industry, I had to prepare myself to ensure I can let them know what I want to express about the site, my model and drawings. I learnt how to present bravely and also using the right words in order for them to understand what I want to deliver. This presentation helped me to improve as the panelist gave their feedback.

As this was the final assignment, I struggled a lot as I also have other modules' assignments to rush with. I learnt how to manage my time properly although extension were not given. I did not procrastinate a lot and manage my time well to meet the due date. I pined up my work on time in studio.
