Survey Result Analysis

Survey Question 4, “Other”:

1. i feel tat can bring out another feeling.. kinda special n creative i thk..

2. Represents yourself, i.e. the way your house office looks and the interior designs and decorations can show what type of person are u, your financial status, your profession, your character and so on. It gives either good or bad impression to people especially when people are doing business with you.

3. conceptual

4. It is something like what we called "less is more".. Using as minimum materials as possible to come out with minimalist design.

5. paying respect for the original aesthetic to the material

6. Its not really a concept, hoay phing. Its a way of life. Materials such as brick wall should be allowed to breathe. Covering it with paint/wallpaper blocks its porous capacity.

7.it is one of the way to respect the raw materials...
it sort of an education aspect...
it will give the truth feeling or sense of intimate contact with those materials...
it create sort of harmony environment in or outside the structure...

Survey Question 5, “Why”:

1. totally dono what's mean by "truth to material" concept

2. its saves cost on beautifying the building more

3. it depends on the material and whether it is embodied in energy, or Eco-friendly at all!

4. im not very sure about tat just feel lik will save some source
maybe because dont need use those stuff to hide their natura

5. Because it is considered as environmental-friendly material.

6. sustainable

7. actually, i would say mayb. is depends on the materials. truth to materials does not tell me tat it is using 'go green' materials. like man-made or industrial materials will caused the waste of energy use. to help the environment, it will definitely better if using nature resources.

8. Definitely, you're allowing the walls to breathe. And you dont waste money on paints so much. Most paint are not no eco.

9. Example:
some paint is not sustainable or even harmful to human..
the plastering work is reduce, this mean time and cost saving (due to labour fee)..
especially for timber work, it is a beauty if the texture and raw colour is highlighted...

10. Absolutely, where we live may shaped what we are

Survey Question 6, “ Other or why you focus on that consideration”
1.form and shape is the first thing that can put an impression on us at first sight.after that material and color and functionality. and at the end, the best result comes out when we mix all the above together.

2.and also the interior designs and decorations. And if the building has some high tech stuffs like all the electrical things in the house can be controlled by one remote using bluetooth,or iphone, it will be cool as well.

3.Material choice should come first, then only the form that showcases the bests of the chosen material. Remember Rujia's thesis, she wrote about the Swiss Pavilion, Hanover Expo 2000. That was brilliant.

4. I think architecture is a piece of artwork that include all those aspects..
An architecture is failed for me, if it is only consider one of them..
(your answer force me to choose one of that)
