REFLECTION:

Through this project, I am able to get the basic knowledge of the theoretical issues related to my design. Through the study of architecture and urbanism and its related studies, I have learned about the importance of theory in architecture and urbanism. In addition, I had learnt how to relate architectural and urban by theoretical information to my design strategies and concept.
