Individual
I am really excited to work with this group of 18 people and go on a site visit to Melaka. We completed our analysis and presented it as a group. I learned a variety of soft skills, including AI and Photoshop. The entire process taught me the value of genius loci of a place, as well as tangible and intangible factors. The data collection method also requires time and attention. It was an unforgettable experience for myself and my group companions. Aside from that, I recognised the significance of research. It will have an effect on the design flow as we collect and analyse all of the data.
