this also happened to me, and I did not explain my design as clear as I wanted to and I also did not link back to the main idea as much as I wanted to. which made my design seem full of problems.#be1112_5 and #be1112

1. One aspect I felt I had not done as well as expected was the linking of the design process to the main design intent. Some parts were still unclear and not explained as well as I would have liked, which diminishes the overall (1/)

I also did the same by contradicted my idea by not providing clear views by designing the seating area far away from viewing platform the when my design should have done so.#be1112_5 and #be1112

[Caslyn @Caslyntxy]

I also happen to contradict my idea of providing unobstructed views for the people when i said i intentionally created 2 platforms (for picnic) without any table and chairs for people to their meals while enjoying the view (partially blocked by the railings). #be1112 #be1112_2

shiu xun(05) I would have approached the design with first principle thinking by fully understanding what is a rest stop, what it requires and why is there a need for one. that way I will be able to build a rest stop which fully accommodate its needs(4/4)#be1112_5 and #be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) one take away I will address is that I will think carefully about my design intent, ensuring that my design brings across my design intention and concept of the building(3/)#be1112_5 and #be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) one new perspective I have gleamed is that I should be aware of the site surroundings and ensure that the building is fully accessible to the benefits of the site, instead of just concentrating on one benefit.(2/)#be1112_5 and #be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) 1 thing I have not done as well for primer is that I did not think carefully about my design intent, who am I designing for, what is the purpose of my design, why am I designing it in the way I have. (1/)#be1112_5 and #be1112

@ZhengpingLiow shiuxun(05) we do agree to the article as it indicates clearly on why does Le Corbusier said that a house is a machine for living in. it also gave examples, such as villa savoye, where he illustrated his belief, and the 5 points of architecture.#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

Shiu Xun and Zarrin(05)think|pair|share, all of the information is found out from the website called https://t.co/Fx7WFcEYV8, where it elaborates on why Le Corbusier said a house is a machine for the living in. (6/6)#be1112

shiu xun(05) inventive creativity begins with the substance of content which results in something original. it goes between passion and the way it is expressed. content is all about finding the right medium to express that passion, the mode of expression.(2/2)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) I learned that there are two types of creativity, associative creativity and inventive creativity. associative creativity begins with the substance of form, the result of things which are generally, formally associated.(1/2)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

Shiu Xun and Zarrin(05)think|pair|share, an example of the five points is villa savoye, where it is intimately involved with the quality of life, its development is more than a material matter; raising the moral issues of honesty, authenticity, and integrity.(5/5)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

Shiu Xun and Zarrin(05)think|pair|share, this is where the 5 points of architecture comes in: 1. Pilotis , 2. Free-form interior designs, 3. Free-form facade designs,4. Horizontal windows to provide even daylight across rooms and 5. Rooftop gardens on flat roofs.(4/)

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

Shiu Xun and Zarrin(05)think|pair|share, Le Corbusier was aiming at an austere, rational lifestyle that rejected luxuriant excesses imputed to the bourgeoisie of the preceding era. His conception implied a world view that was more socialist than democratic.(3/)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

Shiu Xun and Zarrin(05)think|pair|share,it was the suppression of decorative clutter and unnecessary furnishings, possessions.Emulating the efficiency of a machine, the house needs everything necessary for healthful personal maintenance and private cultivation(2/)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

Shiu Xun and Zarrin(05) think|pair|share, Le Corbusier meant that the modern house needed to function like a machine, efficiently and without extraneous parts. That is not to say it should look like a machine. (1/)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) then why do some people not build their buildings according to the contemporary and tropical way. why do they build their buildings in the way they are built?(3/3)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) for example, a traditional house where there is no electrical means, will be built to fully make use of the structure. I will apply this method to what I do , to reduce the need for electrical means and to make the building energy efficient.(2/)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) I learnt that building a tropical house is not just about comfort but it must fit into today's context, where it is contemporary so that the building will truly become and belong to that region.(1/)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) for example, the pilotis, where stilts are built to , for my understanding, prevent the water from entering the houses during high sea level, or monsoon seasons. one question I thought of is how will a building express the local traditions of that country(3/3)#be1112

[Shiu Xun @XunShiu]

shiu xun(05) i also learnt about vernacular house, understanding that it is a design approach which differs from each country, based on their needs, availability of materials and to express the local traditions(2/)#be1112
