GREEN STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING

Working on both group and individual assignments gave me valuable insights into green strategies for buildings. For the first assignment, we worked in a team to conduct a site visit to a green building and analyze the passive strategies it applied. We then prepared a report, slides, and a poster comparing the ST Diamond Building in Putrajaya with the Bullitt Center in Seattle. This group task was a good experience in teamwork sharing different perspectives, dividing responsibilities, and learning how to communicate ideas clearly together. It also gave me a deeper understanding of how different contexts, climates, and design priorities shape the way sustainable strategies are applied.

 

The second assignment shifted to an individual focus, where I had to produce a write-up and report slides integrated with Architectural Design 4. This required me to apply what I had learned to my own structure, which was both challenging and rewarding. It was a chance to not just study strategies but also test how they could be adapted into my own design decisions, making the learning process much more personal and practical.

​

Overall, both assignments were fun and meaningful. I gained a lot of knowledge, from understanding real-life applications of passive design to learning how to integrate these strategies into my own architectural projects. These experiences have strengthened my awareness of sustainability, and I plan to carry forward these lessons into my future work as an architect.
