What drove/informed design descisions?

This week, it was a good time for me to take a step back and reflect on all the mid-semester reviews to solidify the main concept. I was researching more into the theory and trying to search for more architectural elements that could enhance the value of the leather craft in the overall architecture.

What was successful/unsucessful?

The main concept and overarching ideas become much clearer. This task was very helpful for me to strengthen the main arguments and provide a much clearer vision of the overall scheme. However, I may need to work on my graphical ie. hand sketch, to emphasise the tactility. Because at the moment, the grain of the landscape or the texture of the material is quite flat.

What did you learn and how might these inform you future designs?

Because my main concept heavily focuses on hand tactility, I need to spend time testing out different mediums (hand sketch, coin rubbing) to enhance the quality of texture and give a sense of tactility.

The non-teaching week was an excellent chance to have my hands on leather and learn how to stitch leather. The touch of leather is wonderful with Side A, which is smooth and soft, while side B is much rougher. In addition, the leather has such a strong smell as I could further explore more through multi-sensory.
