Reflection

In this assignment, I have chosen the Yoyogi National Gymnasium as the building to research in this project. The reason I choose this as the building to research is because I found it interesting and I wanted to further research on it. Through this assignment I have learn more on the materials used and what is suitable and how it is suitable on the building. In a nutshell I hope that what I have learn in this assignment could be useful for me in the future.
