INTRODUCTION
In the past six weeks of learning in this institution, it ignites my passion for various topics in architecture from urban design, sustainability, co-design, research, and theory. It was another way to motivates me to do things and recalibrate my mind into something more refined and useful. Here are some of my take away and learning on this course.
URBAN DESIGN
It encourages me to look deeper on active projects as I will develop in my class as this activity gave me an opportunity to experienced again site work in an urban setting.
SUSTAINABILITY
It helps me to go back to my drawing board to develop my housing prototype project into the more sustainable and green design, and as I look into a bigger picture that it is not only about architecture but the environmental planning as well.
CO-DESIGN
It redirects my approach in practice to be more vocal about co-design and transmit this idea to my Clients, as I’m now currently developing a communication tool to deliver the message effectively.
RESEARCH
It motivates me to finish my Master’s thesis as well it helps me to review and check my current work base on the new pointers I’ve learned in this course.
THEORY
It helps me to review and to look deeper on this topic as I will be teaching this subject this coming semester and to create more depth in looking architectural design.
CONCLUSION
In the end, it’s a fruitful six weeks even though there are a lot of assignments in which it’s hard to balance as we are doing a lot of work in practice and other personal commitments but nevertheless its great learning experienced.
