SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING & DESIGN
OVERALL REFLECTION
The module on architectural design has been a captivating journey, filled with exploration and creativity. It has allowed me to delve into the intricate world of design, where every line drawn, every structure envisioned, carries immense significance.
One of the most striking aspects of this module was the MY BAMBOO 4.0 project since it was a special and useful experience and chance that I haven't tried before. Through this project, I learnt a lot of technical and construction skills which are very helpful along my architecture journey. Besides that, I also met a lot of new friends from different country with different culture that enrich my journey of this bamboo project.
Moreover, the module emphasized the significance of sustainable design practices. Learning to integrate eco-friendly elements into architectural plans isn't just a trend but a responsibility towards the environment and future generations. The notion that architecture can be both beautiful and environmentally conscious is a powerful concept that resonated deeply with me. The design process itself, from conceptualization to creating detailed plans, has been an enlightening experience. It taught me the importance of iteration, where ideas evolve and refine through continuous refinement and feedback.
Collaborating with peers on projects was an eye-opener. Engaging in discussions, sharing perspectives, and experiencing different design approaches widened my understanding of the subject. The exchange of ideas often led to more comprehensive and innovative solutions than working alone.
Overall, this module on architectural design has been a holistic learning journey. It’s not just about creating buildings; it's about crafting spaces that resonate with people, reflect societal values, and contribute positively to the world. It has ignited in me a passion to continue exploring the art and science of architectural design, understanding its impact, and striving to create spaces that are not only functional but also inspiring and meaningful.
