Armada Interpretive Centre
From my vision of architecture, the expression of context and culture is vital. Architecture cannot exist without a relationship with the people who make up society (Ando,2012). Thus, in the Armada project, my main approach was to focus on the whole journey of human experiences, from intense and dark to relieve and bright. The goal was to guide the users to be immersed in the tragedy of the Spanish Armada, and how they have completed the journey based on their own experiences.
I am a fourth-year architecture international student from Malaysia. I have experienced a totally different learning environment in Ireland as compared to my previous study experiences in my country. During my four years of academic study in Sligo, I was amazed by the dedication of my lecturers, my helpful classmates and all the friends that I made along the journey.
