REFLECTION
The project explores poetics in architecture and requires proper considerations with the local context. The brief guide us by showing the workflow of the design process of a building. I think from this project we can understand the importance of research during the pre-design process and the possibilities of concept through our interpretation of the site or the place. Therefore, balancing of function and spatial poetics in the project always show the capability of the designer as well as the value of the design to work in reality.
