This is why we need initiatives like the Just Transition Lobby: to overcome the inertia of our institutions and drive radical action.
The world is changing whether we like it or not - our only choice is to be proactive or reactive.
it is always about addressing certain problems and responding genuinely to the site's context. to add on, we should also look into site specificity, and design to accommodate the end users.

the purpose of a case study is not to know how the building looks or to celebrate what works, rather, it is to figure out what the underlying principles are.

the industry due to high economic revenue. The warlords especially are like a cancer to the industry. Not only do they influence many to follow their wrong ways, they also design poor architecture for their clients but deny its low quality #be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W16 (2/)
The most important thing I learnt today is that the architectural industry is not all sunshine and rainbows. There are those who struggle to make ends meet, those who seek legitimacy over trying to design better and those who dominate... #be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W16 (1/)
the perspective of the locals. This would allow us to design a specific piece of work for that specific site and achieve a decent quality of work. #be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W17 (2/)
The most important thing I learnt today is that architecture is usually done in different perspectives, as we all grow up in different places. To understand a context, we would have to integrate ourselves into the area, so as to adopt... #be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W17 (1/)
Once again, I would love to explore more of the definition of how we can understand the materials being used more in depth, not so much a struggle but more of an interest #be904#be904_1#be904_1_2#S1W17 (end/)
and it won't be taking into account who the real end users are going to be. This is a harsh reality we as students are coming to realise, #be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W17 (3/)
who these people really are as human beings. It is also important to under site specificity as we wouldn't want to be designing something that has not relevance whatsoever to the context of the site, it will be redundant... #be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W17 (2/)
I have learnt that we should always be discerning in looking up to any architect and anybody in general, as we should always look into what their princlples that have shaped the way they built is important as it is a reflection of...#be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W17 (1/)
and "customized" the building based on the area and context.
Visual relief, views are crucial, but it's also important to take the condition and the context into account. (3/)

Materials, consider the labor, the price, the quality and functionality, and building errors (elements of humanizing)
Specific context, Even the same area of a building can have a different context and condition, (2/)

i learned the importance of understanding the site's principles and the product as a process, as well as how to design a building so that it doesn't require ongoing maintenance.

I learnt that architecture firms have 4 types, and depending on different aims and circumstances they may sometimes resort to undercutting such as scavengers, or exploiting for tribes... bad bad #be904#be904_1#be904_1_1#S1W16
