Talk Architecture
Museum is not recommended to be a design thesis topic - Part 1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
An opinion piece based on a comment on the Facebook group “Architectural Insurgency: Kuala Lumpur” that I said, “A student doing a museum project will ignore context”.
Definition of context: “understanding people and relationships, when the designer is empathizing with the user who is using the space”.
Making a new context from an existing context, hence for a museum project for a design thesis topic is too specialized and will be more focused on itself and less on context.
