Design Esquisse – Learning Pod
​Project 1B deals with the understanding of materiality in relation to use and experience. Materiality is seen as a setting for communal activities to convey meaning and associations as well as a function of structure and construction. Students will be required to design a Learning Pod, which is intended to showcase architectural form and materiality for a proposed set of activities. The exploration of themes centered around the notion of learning as well as spatial experience of users in this project will relate to the programmatic requirements in Project 1C.

REFLECTION
This assignment proved to be particularly challenging for us, as we initially had no idea where to begin or how to proceed. Fortunately, being a group assignment, we had each other for support and collaboration. Moreover, I am immensely grateful for the enjoyable and productive group dynamic we had, as everyone was willing to work together to accomplish our goals. Adhering to the tight schedule for this assignment was difficult, but I persevered and achieved an end result that we can all take pride in. This experience truly demonstrates the fulfillment of my thinking and problem-solving skills, lifelong learning, and intrapersonal abilities.
