But we did get to know each of our classmates better through ice breaker like finding out similar personalities and getting to talk to them more. Like the picture above, I had the Influence personality, which leaded me to talking to Germaine! the rest of the week was just havoc as the only problem we faced was finding the right buildings and blocks and the eventually, being 2-5mins late. which leaded us to deal with our not so merciful lecturers whom would mark us late no later den 5 minutes ;).]]> 2022-05-05 14:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hakeem2711/Bookmarks/wish/2171485876 hakeem2711 https://padlet.com/hakeem2711/Bookmarks/wish/2171524739 for this week, We focused on Green mark topic. we went to one of the BCA website to download useful PDF files, that can be use in the future. We actually used it for our BCA Greenmark slides. which would be presented in the following week. we learned that there were certain requirement for a building, to receive Greenmark rating points. the greenmark project was started to kick start Singapore to pursue a sustainable motion.]]> 2022-05-05 14:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hakeem2711/Bookmarks/wish/2171524739 hakeem2711 https://padlet.com/hakeem2711/Bookmarks/wish/2171550081 this week we did not do anything much. We had a 2 day holiday, Selamat Hari Raya to all my muslim readers reading this. Anyways, we were occupied with butt loads of assignments to do in this platform called, Brightspace, or politemall. Too much actually, piling up everyday. How to go visiting like that? nevermind, the grind for a 4.0 is what matter. Am i wrong? or am i not so right? We went to site again, looking at maps and landscape layout. I was sweating like a dog. the weather was blazing hot. well, not half as hot as all the girls wearing half crop tops, and pants so high, you can see the planet Uranus.

We walked around looking at pipes, holes in walls, light shelves. We were then tasked to sketch 2 pictures of the few that we took during our site-seeing. at the end of the day, we managed to get a grip of how an architect would think. to be creative, sustainable, yet, beneficial, and to fully utilize whatever resources there is.]]> 2022-05-15 11:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hakeem2711/Bookmarks/wish/2184388564 hakeem2711 https://padlet.com/hakeem2711/Bookmarks/wish/2184448737 As seen in the picture, the pillars are spread apart for reducing the force acting on individual pillars. however, With a tall and thin pillar, comes with the risk of it toppling over from excessive weight, very strong winds, or when the pillar is really old and starts to corrode. thus, feeling up the gaps in between the pillars would establish a strong base for the pillars.
