OVERALL REFLECTION
THIS MODULE HAS HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND THE SPACE AROUND THEM, WHETHER IT BE EMOTIONALLY, FUNCTIONALLY, OR PRACTICALLY. THROUGHOUT THE PROJECTS, I HAVE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE IMPORTANCE OF DESIGN ELEMENS & PRINCIPLES IN ORDER TO CONVEY A MESSAGE OR FEELINGS OF THE MODEL & COMING OUT WITH A FINALISED AND MEANINGFUL DESIGN.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I HAVE ALSO CAME ACROSS THE USE OF ANTHROPOLOGY & ERGONOMICS WHICH HELPS ME TO VISUALISE THE OVERALL SIZE OF A STRUCTURE. IN TERMS OF STRUCTURE AND MODELS, I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT HOW CRUCIAL A MOCK-UP MODELS IS IN MAKING MY DESIGN PROCESS MUCH SMOOTHER AND MORE EFFICIENT.
MOREOVER, THE REQUIREMENT OF HAVING A PRESENTATION SLIDES/BOARDS HAS HELPED ME TO ORAGANISE MY DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND MODELS MORE EFFECTIVELY IN AN INFOGRAPHIC & ATTRACTIVE MANNER.
APPLICATION IN REAL LIFE
I FOUND THIS MODULE TO BE VERY APPLICABLE TO MY LIFE ESPECIALLY ON HOW I ORGANISE MY DESIGNS AND TIME MANAGEMENT. BESIDES, THESE THEORIES HAVE ALSO HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF SPACE AND HUMAN FEELINGS, WHICH WILL PLAY A BIG ROLE WHEN IT COMES TO DESIGNING AND SELECTING A BUILDING IN THE FUTURE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, BY MASTERING MY PRESENTATION & COMMUNICATION SKILLS, IT CAN HELP ME A LOT IN MY ARCHITECTURE CAREER AS IT WILL BE A COMMON PRACTICE WHEN IT COMES TO DELIVERING OR PROMOTING MY DESIGN.
