| My Self Portrait Model |
In this project, I had made a model which had a body with a skull that tried hard to escape from the box with few strips.Inside the skull, there was fire. It means that I am a person which has empty life and try hard to escape the current situation to seek for freedom and meaningful life.
Reflection
Through this project, i am able to translate myself into abstract artwork. To create the model, I had to think about myself and thus I get to know more about myself. Besides that, I also learnt about the importance of knowing your client in generating the ideas of a design.

Explanation of the Model
The similarities of our design within a group are the characteristics of us and void within the area we choose in the exercise. The quality of space in the model is secure which is shown through the cave-liked model and the sharp edge at the entrance. The people who gets inside feels safe and sound and that's why we created this model.
Reflection
I am able to identify the basic design principles in space and form and these principles helped me in my future design. Besides that, I also learnt that the role of proportion and scale in designing a space for a human. I gained a lot of knowledge through looking into the case studies to produce a comfort zone for one or more person.

Besides that, I am able to identify and apply the design principles in designing the quality space within the model I created. Furthermore, I also learnt about the application of materials can determine the experience of the space produced.
