KATRINA QUILALA 1 AR-3
ABOUT ME DIAGNOSTIC TEST + ESQUISSE PLATE 1 PRELIMINARY EXAMS PLATE 2 REFLECTION
MY NAME IS KATRINA GABRIELLE F. QUILALA. I AM TAKING UP ARCHITECTURE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS. I AM HUMBLY PRESENTING MY OUTPUTS UNDER THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 2 COURSE DURING THE SECOND SEMESTER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR 2018-2019. IT MAY NOT BE MUCH AS I JUST FINISHED MY FRESHMAN YEAR HOWEVER, I HOPE I BRING INSPIRATION AND IMPACT IN THIS WORLD.
THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST NAD THE ESQUISSE ARE BOTH THE SAME THING WHICH IS BASED ON THE NEXT ACTIVITY, WHICH IS PLATE 1. WE WERE ASSIGNED TO MAKE A BUBBLE DIAGRAM BASED ON THE SITE ANALYSIS.
THIS PLATE FOCUSES ON EFFECTVE BUILDING AND PARKING CONFIGURATIONS BASED ON THE SITE ANALYSIS.
FOR THE FIRST PART OF OUR EXAM WE WERE TASK TO DESIGN A FULL BATHROOM LAYOUT FOR TWO. WE HAD TO COMPLETE THE SPACE PROGRAM PROVIDED AND DESIGN THE LAYOUT BASED ON THE COMPUTED AREA.
FOR THE LAST PART, WE WERE TASKED TO DESIGN A PARKING LAYOUT WITH ATLEAST 19 PARKING SPACES IN A 30.5X27 M LOT.
THIS PLATE CHALLENGES ON BRIDGING OUR KNOWLEDGE IN SITE PLANNING WITH OPPURTINITIES AND CRITICALITIES IN ORDER TO CONFIGURE THE PROGRAM OF THE HOME..
I PONDERED HOW CHALLENGING THIS SE,MESTER WAS BECAUSE I WAS STRUGGLING WITH MY CONCEPTS. I FELT AS IF THEY WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND LACKS CREATIVITY. HOWEVER I MUST ALWAYS REMIND MYSELF THAT I SHOULD ALLOW MYSELF TO BE A BEGINNER SINCE I NEVER TACKLED ANY OF THESE COURSES OR TOPICS IN HIGH SCHOOL. I SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONFIDENT ABOUT MY WORK SINCE BELIEVING IN YOURSELF STARTS WITH YOU ONLY. I SHOULD NOT NEGLECT MY PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENT AS I WENT THROUGH A LOT AND I HAVE COME SO FAR. THE SITE PLANNING AND SPACE PROGRAMMING HELPED ME A LOT IN TERMS OF CONSIDERING MOBILITY IN CERTAIN SPACES AND ALSO THE WIND PATTERNS AND SUN PATHS. THESE TOPICS WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP FOR THE INCOMING FRESHMEN NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. HOWEVER, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES, THEY SHOULD INVEST THEIR TIME IN IMPROVING AND CONCEPTUALIZING THEIR IDEAS ESPECIALLY IN AD2. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I AM DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF AS I KNOW THAT I CAN DO BETTER IN TERMS OF REPRESENTING MY DRAWINGS ARCHITECTURALLY. NEVERTHELESS, THIS COURSE HELPED ME BEGIN AND FIND A START TO MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND STYLE AS A FUTURE ARCHITECT. IT ALSO OPENED MY EYES TO ALL MISTAKES I HAVE DONE ESPECIALLY TO MYSELF BECAUSE I PRESSURE MYSELF TOO MUCH TO BE THE BEST. ALONG THE WAY, I JUST BURN MYSELF OUT INSTEAD OF ENJOYING WHAT I DO.
