REFLECTION
I think this assignment is interesting because we had to conduct a lot of research on the building we selected, which was constructed by a well-known architect. Although the materials are things I frequently encounter in the public, such as concrete and aluminium, I learned a lot about them during this assignment because I had previously assumed that all materials were identical and had no distinctions.
​
I began to become more aware of the materials around me while I conducted my research since I have a constant desire to learn more about them, including their composition, benefits, and drawbacks.
​
We must truly understand that any building that is being constructed is not built simply; each material or construction method that is used for it has its own meaning and advantage in order to keep the building stay as long as possible in the future. In the end, I successfully completed this assignment quite well for me because I also acknowledged the construction method of the structural materials from the buildings.
