Final Reflection: - At the beginning, I simply wanted to reflect my travel experience from Nassau into this project, I wanted to show what I care about from inside my heart, which is the multicultural background that I experienced while growing up in America. Nassau was a perfect place that needed this development not only for the international traveller, but also the regional residents. Along this thesis process, my Advisor and fellow classmates made this project come alive, they taught me how to identify the heart of a thesis, and provided endless suggestions weekly, which lead me towards this final day. I was also grateful for all the jurors' questions and critics. Without their feedback, I wouldn’t be able to think deeper into the design process, and finalized my design decision. In the end, I’m glad I didn’t lose my original design intent, and developed a project incorporating all the research, building systems and designs I wanted to demonstrate.
