Reflection
In this project, I have learned to be more sensitive with the importance of existing landmarks. There are several factors that requires pro-active learning such as choice of materiality. One of the most difficult part in this assignment would be utilising ideas to compromise with the cultural and heritage values. I try my best to deliver and stay true to my intentions which is focusing on the folklore of the site to create the discovery centre and contribute to the tourism factors.
