Disability Experience Pavilion
Introduction
Project 1 is a group project (3 students per group). This project deals with the understanding of material poetics in relation to user experience. It is to showcase architectural design informed by material use, and environmental sustainability awareness with regard to user needs and the activities involved. It is also to inculcate an understanding of basic building construction; from how structural design is a construct of architectural spatial design, to the tactile quality of materials and how they are put together to achieve spatial and formal quality.
For Project 1, students will undertake a small design task. The duration of the task is kept to a minimum and is to train students to synthesize simple and quick design solutions as a result of a study on precedents. The task is a general term to refer to simple structures such as pavilions, folly, playscapes, relief, or architectural installations. For this semester, a Disabilities Experience Pavilion will be the subject of exploration for Project 1. The exploration of themes centred around the notion of addressing universal accessibility as well as the spatial experience of disabled groups in this project will relate to the programmatic requirements in Project 2.

Reflection
I am grateful to have been able to work with my groupmates. Although the project was very short, it was an enjoyable experience to have and gave us more insight to designing for the disabled and embracing our differences.
