Term reflection

Playground 

This term I learned and developed many skills with digital art. At the begging it was challenging as I had to create a new blog from start to finish by myself. Throughout out the term I learned how to use different software such as Sketchup, Adobe express and photoshop. I learned how to create a website on wix and how to customise it with the different tools available. I worked on social links, my home page, about me page and portfolio. During this term I created my first architectural project which is a playground. To achieve that I had to learn how to use Sketchup, and the beginning was hard but with practice I found my way around the software. I had to create a portfolio page on my website to displays my design boards which included images from the playground I created on sketchup. The first attempt was poor as my design boards were not well presented and due to that I had to restart my portfolio page as well as my design. board to make them more professional and beautiful. To create new design boards, I used photoshop. The computer Skills that this module helped me develop will be very helpful for my progression route which is architecture.

Multi-faith centres and religious spaces

Multi-faith  centres are inclusive spaces that encourage dialogue, understanding, and collaboration among people from various religious backgrounds.

Final major project: Form and function

       The primary function of my project is to allow children to have a good time outside in a safe and sustainable place. Creating spaces that are in harmony with the environment, using eco-friendly materials, and promoting practices that help preserve our natural resources  Sustainable Playground I am creating this playground because in my city (Kitwe, Zambia) we have plenty of parks but people do not use them as they are not user-friendly and as a result they are not safe or maintained. The playground is located near city centre, where the vegetation is dense and will allow the users to have fresh air. Having a sustainable playground in Kitwe will allow the children of the community to engage together in a safe environment.          Reference         s.c, C.I.-S.
