LOW BENG WEE, GAVIN PORTFOLIO Y1S2 Over the past semester, we were made to acquire fundamental skills in design and communication while cultivating the appropriate mindset via the production of drawings and models with professional “precision” and “perfection”. In order to achieve this, one has to be able to handle to scale, dimension, and quantity appropriately and accurately, with a professional sense of carefulness and a quest for the ideal and perfection. The main goal of this semester was to produce “quality” drawings and models as the prime means of design and communication. The studio sessions are aimed at developing both graphical and crafting skills. There was three projects which specifically deal with 3 different scales: (1)City (2)Architecture (3)Human. In each of these projects, we have explored how to design and operate at different scales, addressing the appropriate functions and capacities for our built environment. “As in music education mastery of the basics must come before interpretation and only after this can students begin composition.” – Prof. Tay Kheng Soon
