Task 2
Reflection
The assessments were manageable, though Task 2 was more challenging due to hand drawing and layout work, which pushed me out of my comfort zone. Despite this, I learned more about my chosen building and improved my attention to detail and visual organisation. I also enjoyed learning new tools, especially knowing how to create AR and using the flexible quiz platforms, which helped reinforce my understanding.
Overall, this module was a meaningful introduction to architecture that helped me develop new skills, gain confidence, and apply what I learned to my own course work.
