@yeeling05 I will take that in mind and do it for our new project. Thank you for the advice! :)

@ZhengpingLiow thank you!

Shania Tan (01) Reflection for this sem
I think in terms of mindset, I've changed quite a bit, going from worshipping and prioritising form to now prioritising content. Understanding the works of past and present architects really allows us to firstly not just (1/)

questions until i fully (or at least 80%) understand these questions and then frm there, proceed on with my design process without feeling as insecure as i was the first time round. (5/) #be1112 #be1112_1

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

Shania Tan (01) Primer reflection(ft. happy Tadao Ando)
1)I think for me i really struggled with time management due to the fact that I felt very insecure of my design and I was constantly changing it, and was not really satisfied with it even up till now.
(1/) #be1112 #be1112_1

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

because i didnt really have a clear idea of what it means to have a rest stop and what exactly is rest hence the constant changing of ideas and designs. So to be able to rewind time i would really take the time to sit down and ask myself these relevant (4/) #be1112 #be1112_1

not referring to how i went from being a worshipper of Mies to a more neutral party that takes into consideration the other perspectives). Lastly, I think that the words, honesty, relevance and appropriateness will continue to haunt me in my future projects :) HAHAH (4/) #be1112

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

important to me and what i will prioritise for a long time when i am designing from a really early stage of our architecture journey. This module has also allowed me to grow in a sense that I dont just believe wtv i am told and learn to think for myself (totally...) (3/) #be1112

@Alffine2 @amav03 But if there is overcrowding due to the severe lack of houses, wouldn't the aesthetics not matter any more? Even to the citizens wouldn't they rather have a comfortable place to stay rather than care about how the building looks?

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@amav03 I think it comes into play for example if a country has a severe problem of house shortage, the government would want to build homes as quickly as possible thus ignoring the aesthetics of the building and having many similar, boring buildings that serves it purpose.

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@Valerie68498128 I think it can be for both. You can design more bombastic buildings in the tune to the future of architecture but by doing so, you would also be designing something new which would garner you fame and glory.

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@v_wong_kailing ^#be1112

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@Valerie68498128 Mm I think that isn't purely to gain fame and glory but instead that by creating our own unique design, something new and fresh, will definitely catch the attention of others, gaining more recognition for your work and perhaps fans as well.

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@LANI_Cui @KeithLawGK I think it depends on the situation. As now we are more modernised, these methods may not work due to budget constraints and efficiency. However, these methods can also provide an alternative method if present methods are not feasible.

@ahriannee ^#be1112

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@ahriannee It probably started when they see something that they like from another person's work and hence want to incorporate it into their own design. I think architects started using others' work as reference due to their own momentary lack of creativity or laziness.

@AmirahHannah2 ^#be1112

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@AmirahHannah2 It is able to help ease the designing process, making it more precise and it being a quicker process. It also impacts it by allowing architects to get more inspiration due to the large resource(internet).

@dinahqaisaraaa ^#be1112

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@dinahqaisaraaa I think it is because they do not want others to follow their train of thoughts and "steal" their idea. Hence, protecting their upcoming projects and having their followers to look forward to their future projects.

[Shania Tan @ShaniaTanyl]

@rae_koh I think both. In a sense that both are interdependent on one another
