ADMT reflections

While doing this ADMT project, I had learnt many things that I think would benefit me in the long run. Such as learning how to use inDesign, Photoshop, and the basics of architecture design and creating a design poster for your design. While doing all these design thinking and journal writing, I have also learnt that to design a building is not easy, and requires a lot of brainstorming and thinking, as well as the considerations to make when designing the building. For a good design, there would be many essentials that can really differentiate a good one and a more inferior one. Such as the position of a entrance, the outer look, the ambience in the building, the uniqueness of the building, the furnitures, lightings, tiles, etc

Although it seems fun at first to be able to create and design your own personal building, it was only after that that I realised how hard was it to really have a good design. For me, having a suitable location to have my building on was quite tough, and I took quite a while searching for a location. It was not easy as Singapore is small and packed, with little empty land left for development. I had considered to redesign a building, but find it hard to explore my creativity as I would be confine to a certain structure of a building, rather than having your own unique design that would stand out from others.

The designing of the building had required some trial and error for certain parts of work out, and the exterior had taken quite some time to make. My journal was not that good as I had some problems with the flow of journal as I was confuse with what to do. It was only when the deadline was near then I had manage to clear up my journal a bit and restructured my journal.

I feel that this project was a bit of a challenge to us as we were inexperienced in this field, and with the time constrain we had to rush the work. Enjoyable, though preparation of this project could be a bit better.
