Armature Earth acts as a armature of every living organism. Without the earth , it is almost impossible for them to survive . Similar to a clay sculpture , a clay sculpture could hardly hold in place without the support of armature .

Reflection

Out of these 3 project, the one which interest me the most is the final project. Our imagination and ideas are less restrained by the reality and workability of the design where ‘crazy’ and innovative ideas and design can be proposed in this project. Besides that, I personally think that this project allows me to expand my creativity on designing as we can experiment on many different ideology and direction. Apart from that, it has been quite a big gap of period of time where I work on a physical model. I do enjoy the moment of time when I was working on the physical model, and explore the joinery details while doing the model.

In project 1, we were required to study and explore the joinery details of the objects which could be found in our daily life. This activities made me pay more attentions and take the initiative to look at the joinery details of the objects around me. This practices had indirectly contributed to the group project where me and teammate discussed and made decision on the jointing mechanism of our proposed furniture design.
