@nathanielllim Yup. That’s the problem actually. Article going viral for building looking different is strangely correlated with ‘good’. But what does good means anyway? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess I struggle with trying to understand how to demonstrate a continuity of the history and heritage of houses because isn't that just form? Unless that is meant as adapting the principles of design in local context then...

Are mega firms and warlords are kinda similar? because they both have huge reputations and are large firms so im seeing a blurred line for the differences between the two #be904 #be904_1 #be904_1_2 #S1W16

[oliva @okivaaa]

It also makes us challenge the dominant worldviews that we encounter, as we can't whack these design paradigms anywhere as we like, so understanding specific context plays a huge role in how we respond and design in that area. (3/)#be904 #be904_1 #be904_1_1 #S1W17

- I learned that that the details is means that the articulation - the philosophy & architecture - the difference of the form and the content #BE904 #s1w11_1_exit

One question I have is: If a building or structure is only created as an eye-pleaser, is it worth making? #be904 (/end)

[Shaoyang @ashaoyangg]

However, it is also important to go in-depth into certain architectural styles that resonate with me. It is almost impossible to learn about every architectural style and ideology, one can only go in-depth on certain architectural styles. #be904 (5/)

[Shaoyang @ashaoyangg]

Factors such as the client, the user, the stability, utility, the surrounding context, architectural style, the climate, the laws of practicing, and so much more. The most important thing I had learnt is to not subscribe to a single ideology #be904 (3/)

[azraa @azraadarch]

however i do have a question, when you say there are opportunities to move beyond architecture do you mean like the competition amongst the different types of firms especially scavengers ?#S1W17 #be904 #be904_1 #be904_1_3

[Christine @christineSP22]

Kevin Mark Low mentioned that many beautiful buildings in the world are lovely examples of styling, but are also some of the worst examples of design and architecture, which I can agree with after going through some studies on renowned (1/) #be904 #be904_1 #be904_1_1 #S1W17

@tan_yizen @angxuan_ RT: Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel that it is impossible for tribes to combine. Tribes are already a combination of small firms, by introducing more shareholders, it could be disastrous as too many cooks spoil the broth. High chance of disagreement.

[Yifeng Liu @YifengDARCH]

@tan_yizen @angxuan_ Megafirm is the main firm that is co-operating with other firms. They are the king controlling the pawns, the CEO of firms, totally different from tribes. The presence of teamwork still exists, just that megafirms' project are larger and there's obvious hierarchy.

[Marcus Koh @kyjmarcus]

"passion, root word of patior" which means to suffer. As mentioned in the tutorial, we as students have to be willing to put in the work and the humility to know that we are wrong. #be904 #be904_1_exit #S1W02

[azraa @azraadarch]

criticising architecture is important because it allows us to learn from past mistakes and improve on them without repeating them subconsciously #be904 #be904_1 #S1W15

[Christine @christineSP22]

We have to stick to our own principles!!! And don't copy other people then call it inspiration 😔😔😔🤙🤙🤙 swag is forever #be904 #be904_1

[Yifeng Liu @YifengDARCH]

Questions: What is the max & min height and levels of a shophouse? Why not use cheaper material back then? Why are there no tall shophouses (as in HDB lvl tall)? How is there privacy when passerby can just peak through your pintu pagar?(end/)

[Shaoyang @ashaoyangg]

The lecture was a good way of introducing us to Le Corbusier. However, I feel it portrays him as too much of a "modern hero", and someone to follow. We can take his teachings to account but I feel that he should not be our example. #be904 #be904_1 #be904_1_2 #S1W013 (4/)
