Reflection
In this assignment, I embarked on an intriguing exploration a tropical building in Vietnam which explored the open concept. After researching into the architects' work, I gained a fresh appreciation for the connection between architecture and its context. Investigating tropical settings, weather, natural lighting, and ventilation revealed the potential for creating harmonious spaces. Throughout the assignment, I also acquired the ability to simplify complex architectural concepts into informative diagrammatic representations. Overall, this experience deepened my understanding of architecture and left me with a sense of achievement. I am grateful for the hands-on opportunity to delve into architectural design and analysis, which expanded my knowledge and skills in this captivating field.
