Semester 1 of my architecture course unfolded as a captivating exploration of architectural design, design communication, and architecture history & theory. The experience was creatively challenging and immensely exciting, especially in AD1 , where I navigated the complexities of translating abstract concepts into tangible structures. The classes in design communication further added to the excitement, as I honed my skills in effectively expressing and presenting architectural ideas. Delving into architecture history and theory provided a rich context that fueled my creative endeavors, making Semester 1 a stimulating and rewarding introduction to the multifaceted world of architecture.
