Reflection
In my architectural design course under Ms. Yan, I have experienced significant growth and learning that extends beyond the realm of design concepts. During Project 1, I was exposed to a myriad of creative ideas, particularly in constructing rhythmic models. This phase of the course emphasized the importance of pushing boundaries and being outstanding in my approach to design. Ms. Yan's guidance encouraged me to explore innovative solutions and refine my design thinking.
Project 2 presented a different set of challenges, focusing on collaborative work within groups. This experience taught me the value of teamwork, tolerance, and cooperation. Working alongside peers allowed me to appreciate diverse perspectives and understand the dynamics of collective creativity.
​
The most transformative aspect of the course for me was Project 3, where I learnedto view criticism as an opportunity for improvement rather than a personal affront has been instrumental in refining my designs and enhancing my overall approach to architectural projects.
​
In reflection, Ms. Yan's architectural design course has not only equipped me with technical knowledge but has also instilled in me a mindset of continuous improvement, collaboration, and resilience in the face of critique. These lessons extend beyond the classroom, preparing me for the challenges and demands of the architectural profession.
