At this present stage in the semester, I have so far really enjoyed the scope of work surrounding studio 4B. Looking back over the past two projects, though I did not achieve the academic results that I would have liked, simply by being positive and diligent through the procurement of these projects both my confidence and design awareness have tremendously strengthen. Initially when I first began to work on the second project, the development of our individual buildings, I found the task to be considerably challenging as the scope of works, the necessity for group connection and the limitation of time played a critical role in determining project success. Though I was able to satisfy the design requirements for that submission, a day later after re-contemplating over my final submission and the supporting studio feedback, I have been able to identify where and how my design solution could have been either architecturally improved and/or heightened.
One particular aspect of the project that I felt added a strong sense of achievement and value to this unit task was being able to enjoy the entire school proposal on a single model. From a personal observation I felt that the group model, despite the initial complications concerning its assembly, was indeed a great success because of the vibrancy, colour and form that eventuated in its final congregation. Furthermore in regards to the final project re-submission, another important aspect that eventuated as a direct outcome to having a group model was that it allowed every student and/ or onlooker to clearly acknowledge issues concerning overshadowing, the creation of wind tunnels and access to views in relation to the greater scheme. Prior to the day of presentation though each student should have reflected upon these important issues, I think that because so many of else were involved in the proposal it was therefore harder for one to completely acknowledge how their individual design would relate to the greater scope of works. Inturn with the aid of a group model everyone was able to instantly evaluate the impact of their design in relation to the greater cohort. Though architectural models do consume considerable time and resources, as a student architect with each coming project I am evermore learning to appreciate just how valuable models are to the design process because they allow the design team to readily comprehend issues such as the building structure and its architectural expression.
