TPS with @hongyi____: Should we want to take inspiration from a design we will add our own twist to incorporate it into our parameters. (/end) #be904 #be904_5 #S1W04

[yu shan @limyushan]

TPS with @hongyi____: One implication on our practice in our next architecture project is that we will not copy from precedents or case studies. Because architecture is site specific, what may work for other buildings may not work for our own project. (1/) #be904 #be904_5 #S1W04

[yu shan @limyushan]

TPS with @hongyi____ : Hence it is important to understand the parameters of our project, so that we will know how to design our building and not just copy and paste from other buildings. (2/) #be904 #be904_5 #S1W04

[yu shan @limyushan]

Yep, we should reflect on our own actions to prevent ourselves from potentially becoming hypocrites #be904 #be904_5 #S1W04

[Pei En 🐘 @leepeien3]

#be904 #be904_2 #be904R2 #S1W04
I found the lecture easy to understand and it opened up my views and realise that we might be the ones victimising ourselves not knowing that we do the same too.

[yu shan @limyushan]

I agree, sometimes I find myself having ideas that seem familiar #be904 #be904_5 #S1W04

[Zoey @lizhiyi23]

One important thing I learnt was about pragmatic acceptance and intellectual property, our ideas that we get may be from somewhere that we heard/saw subconsciously even if we may not remember it. This may have already been done by someone long ago #be904 #be904_5 #S1W04 #BE904R1

[yu shan @limyushan]

Yep, I find it a more thorough way to develop solutions #be904 #be904_5 #S1W04

[yu shan @limyushan]

R3: I struggled with a few concepts as usual but was able to understand better by organising my thoughts.#be904 #be904_5 #be904R3 #S1W04

[yu shan @limyushan]

R2: I find this lecture easier to understand than the past few weeks, because the information presented seems to have a clearer link to the main topics being discussed, like how the topic of starchitects is linked to sustained optimism #be904 #be904_5 #be904R2 #S1W04

[yu shan @limyushan]

R1: The most important thing I learnt today is the four adaptive reactions to risk. By understanding the different reactions to risk, I can be more aware of my own thoughts and actions regarding architecture. #be904 #be904_5 #be904R1 #S1W04

[yu shan @limyushan]

Yep, the way we perceive buildings and architecture is really subjective since we all have different tastes and opinions... #be904 #be904_5 #S1W03

[kat @kathleenseq33]

For this lesson, the most important thing I learnt was that every design or building is unique. when looking at a structure, it may make you feel feeling (A) but might make others feel feeling (B, C, D), and neither one of us is wrong. everyone feels and see things differently.

[yu shan @limyushan]

Same, theres so many new words I have learnt through AF lectures #be904 #be904_5 #S1W03

[Ang Ee Jin @angeejinn]

i found this lecture interesting as i learnt many new words+their meanings. my favourite is probably pragmatic, which means dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations

#be904 #be904_2 #be904R2 #S1W03

[yu shan @limyushan]

I agree. I wonder if when a building looks similar to another building, does it necessarily constitute an act of imitation or does it depend on the complete design of the building... #be904 #be904_5 #S1W03

[Nurul Amni Binte Zaini @amnizaini_22]

R3: im unsure on how to avoid mimicry and use the method of learning from others’ mistakes instead as it seems like there is a fine-line in “inspiration” or the awe of another designer’s work. (/end) #BE904 #BE904_3 #BE904R3 #S1W03

[yu shan @limyushan]

R3: I don't quite understand what the manufacturing process is... Is it the process of zooming in on one problem and finding a solution for it as opposed to finding a solution for multiple problems in critical processes?

[yu shan @limyushan]

R2: I found this lecture confusing at the start as the video jumped straight into the slide with the donald duck. But from this lecture, I was able to understand a few things such as how architecture can be social #be904 #be904_5 #be904R2 #S1W03

[yu shan @limyushan]

R1: I learned that aesthetics is quite subjective so while it is important, the way we design our buildings for people is more important so in my opinion, forms of buildings should follow their functions.

#be904 #be904_5 #be904R1 #S1W03

[yu shan @limyushan]

The design process is so interesting, and there is also so much work to do in the process than just designing... I really look forward to learning more about each step #be904 #be904_5

[Sana Ram @sanaram_roddick]

…when it comes to planning and designing a building as it is also affected by the analysis works from site,brief & clients and possibly even our own beliefs. Rendering the Design Process of a project to be very important for us to know. (/end)

[yu shan @limyushan]

This example really highlights how difficult it is to be completely original... I wonder what counts as plagiarism in the world of architecture and what counts as inspiration #be904 #be904_5

[garrettsim @garrettsimyc]

Nirvana were accused of plagiarising a guitar riff in a 1984 Killing Joke song 'Eighties' for their song 'Come as You Are' but it was discovered that riff was recycled by many other artists previously. (3/)

[yu shan @limyushan]

I agree!! Originality seems to be so difficult to achieve and while I am not entirely sure how to be original, I will definitely avoid copying and pasting from precedent and case studies. #be904 #be904_5

[Yu Ya Win Htun (Irica) @YuYaWinHtun06]

R1 : The most important thing I have learnt today is how originality fades away and how difficult it is.
We always have to learn from other architects and designers. Instead of learning and filling in each other’s mistakes, … (1/) #BE904 #BE904_5 #BE904R1 #S1W02

[yu shan @limyushan]

R3: It took me a while to realise that the "formal" in "formal elements of architecture" meant "form" and not "official", but other than that it was okay #be904 #be904_5 #be904R3 #S1W02

[yu shan @limyushan]

R2: I find this lecture quite reiterative about the correct and incorrect ways to use precedent and case studies, which is useful in helping me to understand their roles.
