poetic journey structure

a spatial translation (the tropical beach)

For this project, we are to form a group of 8 students to design a poetic structure that romanticizes the tropical beaches of Malaysia for an exhibition. We were tasked with designing a linear and a concentric style structure and both require a compelling narrative to expand on. Understanding and developing the ability in designing the poetics of spaces is the most important outcome of this project.

reflection

Through this project, I was able to think critically and creatively to create poetic spaces. It has helped me improve my ability on how to incorporate and integrate emotions into a space to create a meaningful experiential architecture. Moreover, being in a team for this project has improved my communication and teamworking skills. It also has helped me develop my design communication skills as we are to convey a certain type of emotion and mood into a space. Overall, I think this was a fun group project that exercises and develop our creative thinking skills. It has certainly made me think that architecture doesn't have to be sterile and dull but, creating an experiential spatial experience that establishes a connection between the user and the architecture.
