Designing with Architectural Principles and Materiality
We were tasked to use architectural principles from previous assignment and redefined them to be used as our design intention in the project. In groups, we research for our own tropical site and design a discovery platform that responded to site context. We had to consider appropriate materials and construction methods and most importantly to create a strong user experience
Site:
Waterfall by steep cliff with trees at the side
Intention: ​
Enable users to experience linearity of waterfall and the assymetrical experience of water vs the trees surrounding them

Final Model
TGC Reflection
We applied our orthographic and model making skills that we learned from previous projects
It was challenging to conceptualize the spaces in accordance to site and principles, but that is where our creativity was tested
We maintained strong communication to ensure our works were cohesive as a group
