Famous Architect’s Building: Materials Application 

Individually, I need to choose an 'interesting' building designed by one of the architects given in the list. From here, I will identify five (5) architectural building materials and two (2) structural building materials based on the chosen building. Additionally, I will study the ideas and concepts behind the selection of the materials and the construction of the building.

REFLECTION

This was my first assignment for this module, so although it was considered a light workload assignment, I still spent days selecting the perfect building to hit all requirements. After that, I did intensive research on the building materiality and the idea design behind it all. Frank gehry is one of the best Architects I knew and I really hoped to capture all his work right. With pointers from my tutor and suggestions from friends, I slowly finished up my work. My tutor suggested to use the same design concept in layout designing to keep a thorough experience, which was what I tried to do. Overall, it was indeed a fun and quick assignment and I learnt a lot about materials and building method behind every building during the journey. This really shows that I have fulfilled thinking and problem solving skillslifelong learning and intrapersonal skills.
