Infographic
Final Outcome
Project Task & Overview
This project is an individual project which require me to design a infographic. Infographic is a collection of texts, pictures, diagram, imaginery and so on which can quickly give the viewer and overview of the topic.
Reflection
The infographic assessment was the most enjoyable to do because I was interested in the traditional chinese architecture. Learning about the structure and the materials used for the construction was interesting. Even how the house was designed had taught me how to use timber material without nails and I would love to use that knowledge for future Architectural design projects.
Project 2:
Research in Asian Architecture
In a group of 6 to 7 people, we are to identify and discuss significant issues to generate a critical understanding of tradition, modernity, and globalization in the Asian Architecture contexts from the streets from Project 1.
Final Outcome
Reflection
In this project, I have learned how to research properly and use the method found to solve the problem. I had no difficulties working on it as I had an excellent teammate and leader. I was able to accomplish and learned a method that I can considered to use for future projects.
