@Peacefulfish3 Ayo what

[Aaron Lim @SPAaronLim]

Maybe because the past of architecture was a male-dominated industry, hence more males are being recognized instead of females #be904

[Yukiko Teng @teng_yukiko]

q2: a question i have is why would warlords architects be mostly man and not women? why female architect do not get as much recognition as male architect? #be904 #be904_4 #be904_4_2 #s1w16

@Queen_JRrp @lissatwl @Peacefulfish3 I hope my class I can see this

[Aaron Lim @SPAaronLim]

I think the reason why facing the west is considered bad is because it is hotter than other orientations. It's because of that people often avoid west-facing homes and maybe avoid having openings on the west side of their houses. It's not about whether they want the (1/) #be904

[Aaron Lim @SPAaronLim]

It's a really good and powerful skill to have though because you start to develop a mindset of how you approach to certain design and figure out what is wrong with certain architects. #be904

[Qystina @SPQystina]

One thing that I find doing a lot after this module is not simply idolizing these architects but also finding out about their thinking processes and criticizing them which is weird if you look up to these architects. #be904

[feng xu @fengxurl]

have no focus, like there is nothing interesting or outstanding about the design and it would seem rather plain unless other ideas or paradigms are implemented or taken into consideration.

#be904

[feng xu @fengxurl]

I don't think it will be copying as the exact design would still have to vary according to the site and its conditions, it's more of like considerations you think of while designing. About the dominant Paradigm, i think if you just take it out, the work will seem to

are you sure you didn't leave the stove on... jk jk

[feng xu @fengxurl]

Right? My kitchen is facing west and i can't bear the glare and heat and there are no measures against it... Guess there's a good view for sunset though.....

[Aaron Lim @SPAaronLim]

I keep hearing that the United States is not a very nice place due to racism, safety, etc. If I was in his place, I would say it will be shocking studying and living in the a new environment. #be904

[Qystina @SPQystina]

Or how was his time studying in the states when he was raised in Southeast Asia, did the difference between both places gave him a shock, or was it still adaptable for him? (end/) #be904 #be904_5 #be904_5_3 #S1W17

[Aaron Lim @SPAaronLim]

I guess it did because the environment and culture is very different from the United States. He also mention about specific context which shows that he has changed over time while practicing architecture. #be904

[Qystina @SPQystina]

It's not really a concept that I struggled with but more to my own curiosity, did transitioning from the United States to Malaysia change his perspective? (1/) #be904 #be904_5 #be904_5_3 #S1W17

[Braden @bradenphua14]

Using his ideas, well then i do not think it is copying as in kevin mark low's own idea "specific context" every building would have a differentiation in terms of their use and where they are located and the specific context of the site in which the project is located.

[Braden @bradenphua14]

So in the end if thats the copying you're referring to then i do not think its copying rather adopting his ideas to create your own design based on your own design ideas.

[Braden @bradenphua14]

Depends on what type of vopying you're referring too. If you're referring to just straight up the copying of kevin mark low's ideas, well then yea i do think in a literal sense that it is counted as copying. But if you're talking about the design or end product that we get from

[Matthew Seah @SRJMatthew]

My house openings are facing east and west and it definitely feels like an oven if we let sunlight in.

[feng xu @fengxurl]

I mean it could be anything, I feel that there are too many factors and considerations that affects the design... Architecture movements, Site conditions, comfortablilty, etc etc + now dominant Paradigm? It's basically impossible to include them all so just focus on some.

[Jimmy Tan Jia Ming @JimmyTanJiaMing]

all good buildings carry the same ethos, meaning, uniqueness, maybe similar form and aesthetics but yeah. Sorry for long response, felt that I could relate to your question as I also was asking myself this same thing n tried to unpack it. (end/) #be904 #be904_3 #be904_3_3 #S1W17

[Jimmy Tan Jia Ming @JimmyTanJiaMing]

To make discoveries, is to progress not just one's current project completion, but to also progress one's thinking and philosophy, which drives the very nature of how an architect designs, all good buildings carry good principles, but not (2/) #be904 #be904_3 #be904_3_3 #S1W17

[Jimmy Tan Jia Ming @JimmyTanJiaMing]

I believe that the art of asking relevant questions is to make discoveries to design better for the future and not just the current project. Which could be why he said to make discoveries and not objects of solutions. (1/) #be904 #be904_3 #be904_3_3 #S1W17

before designing it in a way that the subcontractor can do their job with more ease and joy. This idea is probably, in my opinion, the best idea a architect could implement in their practice as it helps makes the world, especially the building industry, a better place. #be904

[Aaron Lim @SPAaronLim]

Me too. Creating something that can benefit many others is like a dream come true. The idea, product as process, is also a very good one. I may have understand it wrongly but it talks about how Kelvin Mark Low understand the different types of subcontractor's work (1/) #be904

[matthew neo @matthewneo9]

Also through this lecture, Mark also inspired me to learn to think for others by utilising the space and taking into consideration the client needs to create something that is able to last gracefully in the future (7/)

[eva @evadarch]

absolutely no views at all because in fact, it will psychologically and mentally affect anyone's minds. unless you're a psychopath or not okay 💀 anyways, views are indeed an essential tool in architecture. even a prison cell have a view :) (/end )
