For my first Design Studio 2 project, I was grouped with:

Woo Wen Jian

Tan Shiowee

Nicolas Wong Xiao En

Yuan Khai Shien

 

 

 

In my studies thus far, Tadao Ando is truly a great architect of space and geometry. His architecture has strong special qualities and his signature architectural play has never failed to increase the aesthetic value of his building. My team and I have studied his masterpiece and translated it into 10 abstraction models based on his first award winning house – the Azuma House. The process of it, we have worked out 10 different concepts based on the house alone with our lecturer and studied how Tadao Ando formulated the concepts into the design.

 

Abstracting his work based on concepts and function has allowed me to understand briefly on how the house functions based on the concept. The geometry shapes of the houses are placed there due to the wants and needs of his clients and not placed there just for the sake of filling up the voids.

 

 

 

Tadao Ando is truly an architect of space, and builder for humanity.
