Taylor’s University
Low Weng Fai final year architecture student at taylor’s university.
about me I am currently in my final year of my architecture degree in Taylor’s University and an aspiring architect. As an architecture major, I have passion for anything creative and I am enthralled by the idea of using the power of design to positively impact people and the surrounding environment. I strongly believe that architecture should reflect its surrounding context and have positive impacts on social, cultural and the environment in society. I like finding new experiences hence, I am eager to learn about new things unfamilar with me as long as it helps me develop my skillset.

The spaces designed along with how the user will interact within it are a representation of my first year experience in my architecture degree. It may be tough at first, encountering a new and unfamiliar environment. Obstacles and mistakes will be made but, take time to reflect on it, a much more confident and sturdy person will appear.
