My view of architecture hasn’t changed and just like what I’ve said in my first manifesto, I still enjoy the challenges each project faces me with. I want to be able to combine different forms to create aesthetically unique structures that can speak and affect humanity whilst assisting their needs. We as architects speak through our designs. I believe that form and function must always go together, neither one overtaking the other. After taking up Design Principles, I can say I’ve matured as an architecture student compared to how I was before entering this school. I’ve learned a couple of things which I know will be very useful in the future. I became more open to the different twists and turns in the design of our structures. I learned that no design is impossible, and that in the design process it’s always a trial and error so we should never be afraid to make mistakes while we are learning. This term, I know it wouldn’t be a smooth ride for me. But I’ll make it a point that I have fun, enjoy and absorb everything I learn.
