SELF REFLECTION

After completing the assessment, I have realised that Frank Gehry sees architecture as overpowering to the lives of the people who live in them and instead advocates for buildings and interiors that serve as a background for life. From the research above, I have learned that it is important that the selection of materials have to look into aspects that concern the user experience and sensory stimulation to create and contribute toward a healthy and harmonious environment while considering the performance related materials characteristics.
