A2 submission
Reflection
Technical knowledge is viewed as something separate from design. This assignment aims to develop awareness of the strong inter-relationship between these two areas of study. Critical success of any design project relies on a designer’s ability to address issues of appropriate methods of construction, integration of structure and the selection of materials.
This assignment enables us to develop and demonstrate some knowledge of construction, materials and structural theory in a small scale design project.
