BDES1020 Continuous City <Li-Chi, Pan>

Abstract

REFLECTIVE SUMMARY After a relatively ‘long’ Winter break I made my way to my first class of Studio102. It was the beginning of a new semester. I wasn’t sure whether to feel nervous or excited. After an exhausting first semester I knew that what awaited me this summer would be even more challenging. I had mentally prepared myself and knew that a series of long endless nights and coffee’s were going to be needed. I realised that creating a building whether it be a restaurant, music centre, hotel or residential area takes a lot of hard work. A lot of contextual research needs to take place and it does not matter whether or not you like the building. You have to look at the respective needs for the building and design accordingly. I am quite happy this year is over. I cannot believe how quickly first year Architecture has gone by. When I look at my Architectural skills from first year I can’t help but chuckle. My model building skills have improved drastically. I work neatly and efficiently with my time. This semester I have gained a lot of insight in t he formulation of a program for my building. I am really excited for next year. I am keen to see more improvement and progress in my studio work.
