famous architect's building
This was an individual project, we are tasked to do a case study on the structural and building materials of buildings by famous architects. I decided to choose V&A Dundee by Kengo Kuma to do research on because the building has a interesting contemporary architecture style and it is by one of my favourite architects. We then need to compose our research and content on 2 A3 size paper featuring, background of architect, 2 structural materials and 5 building materials used in the building.

reflection
I liked this doing this project because there isn't much workload and it was fun doing a background research on one of my favourite architects, Kengo Kuma. After finishing the project, I have gained a better insight on how buildings are generally constructed and how complex it can be. I also learned that how architects use building materials creatively to relate with their design narrative and intentions to have a much more cohesive design. Besides that, I also learned the many uses of certain materials that I have did research on which will assist me in future projects.
