Architectural Design 1
Project 2
Structure and body
Group project
For this assignment, we are introducing and creating awareness of anthropometry and ergonomics relating to form and space. Other than that we are introducing design principles and architectural terminologies on applications of the spatial form and configuration. Then continuing to create a structure using bamboo on installation and understanding the material, quality of space, human scale, and articulation of form.
Reflection
Overall this assignment was really fun at the same time tiring. To enjoy the workload with 18 really nice and workable friends to the hot afternoon sun at University square. Went through tutorials and crit sessions with our tutor, Ms. Sue May physically and online during the holidays. She was really patient and friendly, even on holiday she came to campus and came and visit our bamboo structure construction. Her advice was really helpful and guided us through our project though we can still improve. Without all my hardworking teammates we wouldn't be able to complete this structure in time, we came to campus daily from 10 am to 12 am going home all sweaty and tired however it was all really worth it! As a group leader, it was harder to communicate with all 18 members, and I had to figure out ways to communicate. Overall this was a really unique experience as we get to do it hands-on on such a big scale that it brought us many valuable lessons.
