Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality
Introduction
In groups of 2 students, we were tasked to design a folly which reflected our principles from Project One. We had to generate forms as well as create spaces.
Reflection
This project was particularly challenging for me, as I had troubles with my teammate. In the beginning, we both came up with our own concepts and presented them to our tutor. We then picked the best one and it turned out to be her concept. In the beginning, all was fine as we still had classes on campus. However as time went on, we eventually moved to online classes and that's when the troubles started. I had difficulty contacting her and she wouldn't give me timely updates. Since she was doing the models and I, the drawings; she kept making changes to the design without informing me, leading to mismatched drawings and models. She occasionally not replied messages for days and it has lead to a lot of downtimes.
Overall, this was not a pleasant project for me due to my teammate's negligence and ignorance. I'm sorry but this shouldn't be how teams work.
