Young Designer, Big Dreams
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on January 16, 2024 Freedom to flow While Azzah Atifah would describe herself as a passionate go-getter who knows what she wants, one would be surprised to learn that as a teenager fresh out of secondary school, she struggled to choose from a plethora of polytechnic programmes open to her. When the time came to bite the bullet and make this possibly life-changing decision, Azzah sat down with her mother to review every single one of her options in detail. After carefully considering Azzah’s best subjects — Science as well as Design and Technology — and her love for nature, art and drawing, they came to the decision that pursuing Landscape Architecture was the right choice for her. Now a Year 4 Landscape Architecture major at NUS College of Design and Engineering (CDE), Azzah is able to look back at that day fondly, knowing that they made the right call based on her melange of interests and skills. Best of both worlds When Azzah first set foot in NUS, it opened her eyes to a refreshing diversity — both in terms of the people she would meet as well as the interdisciplinary courses she could take in CDE. She cites the EG1311: Design and Make course as her favourite amongst the common courses offered to all students in CDE. The project teams were a diverse mix of engineering and design students, resulting in a dynamic exchange of knowledge and the cross-pollination of ideas. Azzah’s group created a robot that could pass through obstacles, relying on coding expertise from her engineering teammates as well as an optimal lightweight build crafted by Azzah and her fellow design students, resulting in the final product’s synergy of form and function.
