Case Study (pt. 2)

My opinion/reflection:

I feel like the case study is very thorough and in-depth in terms of research and understanding the problem. They also suggested several feasible solutions to solve the problem of small living space. However, in my opinion, the solutions they give are very difficult as they can only be done by the government. They also only gave practical solutions regarding the area of living space.

The difference between this case study and our group’s problem is the slight difference in intent. This case study only looks for solutions to reduce the number of unhealthy and unsafe subdivided housing. On the other hand, our group is trying to design living spaces that are small, but effective, user-friendly, and aesthetically appealing.

I think it is in the last point about visual aesthetics where we will need improvements and additional solutions to the problem. In our project, our group has agreed to approach the problem in the design point of view too, other than only focusing the space and area available. I think the solutions can be improved by integrating it with effective design, for example, paint colors, use of mirrors in interior design, houses with retractable walls, creative storage space, furniture that can be folded and stored, etc in addition to their suggested methods.
