Self-Reflection

From this project, I've learnt much in-depth about the basic building designs, sustainability, passive designs on shading, lighting, thermal comfort and so much more. I've really enjoyed this module as it has widen my perspective in sustainable architecture. Thanks to the helpful guidance of all the lecturers, I was able to catch up and learn all the topics in this module smoothly. I'm also very grateful for my tutor, Ms. Siti who has always so patiently guided me, provided me with help and answer my doubts even during late hours.

Truly grateful for her! I'm thankful that I've learnt so much this semester as everything looked so complicated to me initially. This module has been really beneficial and has truly sparked my interest in sustainability further.
