@frwogussy I feel like going to different countries would help us to gain experience under different circumstances. Like there are different climates.

I found the lecture interesting and i did not really struggle with it. I was happy that the lecture talked about a more local context this time which i found made it more interesting and relatable.

…only a little bit of the things to think about. I think the choosing of materials is very interesting and hope to learn more about the different materials and their strengths and weaknesses (end/)

I think the most important thing is about how we can make our architecture age gracefully through our choices of materials. The study of the area in which a building would be built would play a large role in choosing as we must choose… (1/)

@4shvinn I guess some materials just naturally age better not just physically but also in its looks. I think some materials are kind of like “classics”? Where no matter how long they still look good and new (or “not old”)

[Joachim @22Joachim]

I found the lecture a little bit abstract. I wonder what was the main point of the lecture, to discourage us from becoming architects? Or to brainstorm solutions to the multiple problems posed by the system… :/

I’ve learned about the different categories of architectural practices scavengers, tribes, warlord and mega firms. All the firms has different practices from one another with their pros and cons such as scavenger and tribal firms being… (1/)

[Joachim @22Joachim]

Despite this, mega firms are mainly focused on profiting and usually produce designs and many buildings in a similar style, in their own image. (End/)

The topics discussed were simple and easy to understand and I did not really have any trouble.

…while adapting it and changing it. We can study traditional houses and understand why they are built that way to, this combined with the study of contemporary architecture will help with the design of the contemporary tropical house. (/end)

I think the most important thing is about the meaning and definition of contemporary. I used to not really understand what the word meant, however now i know that it relates to the zeitgeist, belonging to or occurring in the present. To… (1/)

TPS with @22Joachim
“I think he does not refer to the aesthetics of a building rather the functionality of it. I think he believes that all man-made objects serves a purpose and so does a house. #BE904 #BE904_3 #S1W13 #BE904_3_TPS (1/)

I did not know that Le Corbusier had such a bug impact on Singapore. Many things such as the void decks were designed by him and I am surprised by how far his reach is.
