Reflection

With completing Architecture and Environment,  I was able to benefit from a variety of new things from the class. 

​

The biggest hurdle in the class for me was when my laptop broke down few days before the due date of my assignment. I lose all of my files and have no choice but to redo my part. Luckily, my teammate was very supportive and I've learnt to improved my rendering skills during the whole process.

 

Under the guidance of Dr. Siti, I had learnt a lot throughout the whole module such as knowledges on the components of environmental conditions and issues that focuses on human intervention. She also opens up my perspective on the acceptable environmentally conscious and comfortable building designs.

 

Lastly, I will carry forward the knowledge that I possessed from this module and learn from my mistakes that I have made and not defend them.
