Reflection
Through this research analysis project, I am now able to analyse how the selected architectural design respond to the Malaysia's tropical climate and context. I am able to identify the significant elements of contextual architecture in terms of the space organization and access hierarchy, the skyline, compression and height, the building's features, building material and system and etc. Besides, I have enhanced my photoshop skills to provide a appropriate visual communication design.
