Reflection - Mind Mapping

Challenge & Selection:

Sketching is important for me as I am an architecture student, I have to find  ideas and do many things for my project, so the first tool I used was a Mind  mapping, it helps me a lot to order my thinking and what I am going to do and  what I must do. Eash Project I had, I used to make a mind mapping for it to know what I need  to do and organize my time so I would not be missing the time.

This is one of my mind mappings to organize time and my works to pass the  final successfully.

ps: my native language is Arabic and this mind map was in Arabic and the other is in English.

Application:

First I wrote everything I should do,  such as site analysis, concept, 3D  modeling, and plans then I put each  one on a different side and writing  more details about them and identify  the most important things I have to  do first and put them in the form of  points I do schedule for each part to finish  at the right time.

This tool (Mind mapping) save me a lot of time and effort because everything  was organized. In addition, I used to use a mind map for plans of my project such I have to  make a plan for a house so I write all spaces I should put in specific space  then I sketching this plan with spaces depending on the relationship between  those spaces.  In Architecture, we called them Bubble diagram, Zoning, and sketching, etc.

Insight:

What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that  while the graphic and sketching I knew new things and understand fastly to  every part of my map as there is no enough time, Mind mapping save time for  me, I could do the searching, find ideas, and developed the best idea, and at the  end of the project, I see I have achieved a great achievement. putting the tasks in a schedule was the best tool for time management, at last but not least, mind mappings not the only tool I used to use in  Architecture, there are  Visualization and  Learning Launch. Because I have to imagine the idea and concept of this idea which in the end  it should be a building.

Also, I need to know that my idea can work in real life so I did a small model  and see how it works Design thinking helps me every time and gives perfect new thoughts with  methods.

One of my project I did this year,  River Transport Station
