..asked instead of assuming I am always not right. To me starting on the next project, learn from your mistakes and be honest, believe in your own work instead of always putting yourself down. Also, manage your time:) (6/6) #be1112 #be1112_1

One aspect I didn’t do so well is bringing out and expressing my design intent through my design. I did not have a solid design intent at the start of the project and that lead to not expressing it through my process and my design. A new perspective I ..(1/) #be1112 #be1112_1

..form. This will also help as we tackle future projects. For the primer, I also did not ask many questions during the process and just assumed that my design was “wrong” when the lecturers/ my friends commented on it. It would help if I clarified and..(5/) #be1112 #be1112_1

When do we use the words “inspired by”? Now the word inspiration has lost its meaning(probably) and people are just “inspired” by anything or whatever they like. And in the end, its all form. How to avoid this?😕 #be1112

@MaximillianChua ...from tropical cave. Now the word inspiration has lost its meaning and people are just “inspired” by anything or whatever they like. Really don’t know but maybe he wants his house to be like a cave, thus the lack of daylight penetration.🤫(2/2) #be1112

[Janessa Kwan Su Hui @Jansssaa]

@MaximillianChua mm, where is this house? Clearly there are still parts not receiving daylighting so from the daylighting point of view, not so effective. It might be light and shadow play that changes the experience and feelings evoked. Also, very confused about the inspiration... (1/) #be1112

@v_wong_kailing @elyse97631938 When we reach the bottom and the core. That's what first principle thinking is about isn't it!:) Also, sanity is important, jiayous!! #be1112

...importantly ask questions. It will only help us grow and improve! (6/6) #be1112

[Janessa Kwan Su Hui @Jansssaa]

First principle thinking is about asking relevant questions, as we have heard countless of times from KML. Its about questioning ourselves and going back to the core of the problem. Thinking is to solve problems. We will never truly understand the problem at first...(1/6) #be1112

..is important as we step out into society. Applying first principle thinking to our design will let us step out of that bubble of convention and to think for ourselves. As future architects, we cannot be afraid to go against norms, start from the dust and most...(5/6) #be1112

[Janessa Kwan Su Hui @Jansssaa]

@elyse97631938 Adding on to that, we are also constantly learning and improving. And well, there's no perfect design. There will always be questions to ask! #be1112

[Janessa Kwan Su Hui @Jansssaa]

@elyse97631938 There is always going to be problems and to continuously ask questions helps us think and expand on it. You have a point though. When do we stop asking questions? For me at least, continuously asking myself questions make me doubt myself more esp when deadlines are near😐#be1112

[Janessa Kwan Su Hui @Jansssaa]

That being said, we cannot neglect form too but have a balance between form and content. (4/) #be1112

Interdependence and individuality

Ive learnt that we have to link creativity and originality in terms of content and not form. Design is becoming ubiquity and buildings seem to look the same all around the world. But when we look closer, we can see... (1/) #be1112

[Janessa Kwan Su Hui @Jansssaa]

...we think we are talking about the inner workings but actually we are only focusing on form and that is the mistake to take note of. We should start every project thinking about content instead of form. (3/3) #be1112
