@ZhengpingLiow Ping I'm dying

Saw this on my FB feed. Too good not to share. Source unknown #be904

@ZhengpingLiow Wise words, master liow

[ping @ZhengpingLiow]

@YifengDARCH Words can be deceiving. If we’re not careful, we might be advocating ironic/contradictory/pretentious ideas. Choose your words wisely and most importantly, truthfully and accurately. #be904

[Yifeng Liu @YifengDARCH]

@ZhengpingLiow Damn, the irony. So true

[Shem Tan @shemmaybe]

Criticism allows us to be open to more perspectives, which allows us to piece together to form a conclusion. It is important that when we critic, we must say what is good and bad, and then offer a possible solution. That is constructive feedback 👍🏼

Warlords type is through various communication channels and media. Will the warlords firm collaborate with other types of the firm like tribe-based firms? or are they just solo all the time? (/end)

@azraadarch @highdiiett @okivaaa Yes. But you can tell that they (the architects) don’t give two crap about their neighbours. Remember, it reflects the kind of value systems. I must be the best, screw the world it’s ok - kind of value system.

A Formwerkz house today. It wasn’t well design. The scorching western sun will heat up the dining and the family room. Silliness at the expanse of Form. Plain silliness. #FormAndContent #StudioPedagogy #MakesMeAPublicEnemy #AtLeastICanSleepWell (/end)

I’m constantly trying to inoculate my students against ideologies & at the same time, I’m always worried if I’ve been indoctrinating them instead. So, by teaching them on how to do a proper case study empowers them to make their own conclusions. We spent 1.5hr to study (1/)

[ping @ZhengpingLiow]

Because - indoctrination = teach (a person or group) to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

@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.

@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.

I learnt that it is important to understand the design principles for a tropical house instead of just taking 'inspiration' from it based on its aesthetics, and it is also important to relate our designs to the specific context or needs required #be904 #be904_1 #be904_1_1 #S1W15

[Marcus Koh @kyjmarcus]

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/)

[Marcus Koh @kyjmarcus]

but doesn't mean we have to succumb to that way of thinking when the time comes for us to make our own decisions #be904 #be904_1 #be904_1_1 #S1W17

[Marcus Koh @kyjmarcus]

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/)

[Marcus Koh @kyjmarcus]

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/)

[Marcus Koh @kyjmarcus]

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/)
