String Along
This project aims to introduce the understanding of materials and environmental poetics, their relationship to the crafting of forms and spaces for specific user groups (children, the elderly etc) within a simple site with minimal context (neighbourhood, landscape etc.). It is to showcase architectural design informed by material use, environmental sustainability awareness in relation to user needs, the activities involved and the respective context. It is also to inculcate understanding of basic building construction; from how structural design is a construct of architectural spatial design, to the tactile quality of materials and how they are put together to achieve spatial and formal quality.
Through this project, I was able to have a deeper understanding and knowledge in structural design. On the other hand, i manage to further develop my perception in design where I have a deeper understanding on ways in analysing and producing a design in relation to the concept. In addition, I manage to explore different types of ways and materials in physical modelling. Working with my teammates, I was able to learn many things from them and it act as an eye opener which inspires me a lot.
