2.Why do you think studying architecture is so tough ? - Chin Yi Hong 1001542729

" The Essense of Comprehending "

Architecture is particular about design but with the combination of different elements . The buildings are not randomly designed . It needs a lot of advance preparations . Design concept , case studies , site condition , site impact , weather , daylight , sound , construction , culture & etc , all of these minor factors have to be considered into the design stage . Besides that , it needs to consider the future impact . Thus , it has to be enhancing again and again , solving different issues , providing different specific elements . All of these steps are to infuse a soul into the building . With this infusion , a building will be completed in stead of only having an outer form .

Far more than these , architecture is not only emphasizing the form , it needs to be functional too . Instead of designing an outstanding work , it is more important to be buildable . From the roof top through the base of the building , every single space has to be well designed . Human activities , anthropometry , site relation , space planning , circulation & etc , these are the elements which make an art to be an architecture .  

" What Makes an Architecture Hard ? The Gnosis of its Quintessence . "

For me , what makes an architecture hard is it involves a huge range of designing a work . Every issues , factors and elements within the building are challenging . None of them is dispensable . However , in other words , it is also the quintessence specified for architecture .
