Assignment 1: Famous Architect’s Building
In this project, we were assigned to choose an architecture building as ours case study. From the architect and building concept to the choices and placement of materials on the building, there was a bunch of analyzation work that we need to conduct. This is due to every building material offering different function, appearance and sense to the building and there are reasons why those materials were chosen as the building materials. Therefore, from the building chosen, we have to identify five architecture building materials and two structural building materials and conduct an online research on the reasoning of why the materials was chosen to parallel those with the idea, concept and properties of the building.

Reflection ...
This project was designed to expose me as a new man in architecture school to the real architecture world as I was given a chance to conduct a depth study on our interested building. By tracing back the design thinking, concept and properties of the building I was able to relate the all the consideration taken on the materiality by all the profession during the construction to meet the completion of the project simultaneously achieve the building design and also learn on the modern technique that success all the design no matter is simple or to complicated.
My Work...
Hence it I was attracted by the quote of my favorite architect:
“Liquid architecture. It's like jazz - you improvise, you work together, you play off each other, you make something, they make something. And I think it's a way of - for me, it's a way of trying to understand the city, and what might happen in the city.”
