DESIGN PROCESS
REFLECTION
In this assignment, I extracted what I felt about the irrigation system, and learned how to express its qualities through built forms and spatial qualities, crafting a geomorphological journey of Kampung Sungai Haji Dorani.
1. LIFELONG LEARNING
I was able to extract and synthesis what I felt about the fields, and what needs to be told to the audiences that visit the site. I was also able to learn the nature and habits of the fields and how to build structures based on its unique context.
2. THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
I was able to apply my strengths in producing drawings and sketches that helped me in solving design problems and making diagrams that were easily understandable.
3. DIGITAL LITERACY
I was able to combine both digital and manual production methods to achieve drawings and visuals that looked clean yet doesn't lose the soulful touch of human imperfection.
