In this opportunity, Mr. Tay shared his experience as a renown senior architect in Singapore about Design thinking.

Based on his perspective, design thinking separate into aspects. Science which is analytical and Design which is Synthetical. A combination between analytic and synthetic will create a balance of a design. Other aspects which related to design thinking are  :

1. Taste
2. Beauty
3. Aesthetics 
how do you blend something in your design into perfect combinations and aesthetics
4. Identity
Related to your personal branding
5. Culture
Where and from which country the people come from
6. Ideology
What brings someone to a certain way of thinking

I enjoy his presentation and I wrote down very interesting points in my notes.

To be creative, you must have confident plus a wide knowledge as well as the competent skill related to your field. This will bring you to have a better and stronger way to think and solve a problem through design. Mr. Tay shared his work done in several places in Asia and I'm impressed with his statement to architecture. He showed us architecture done by Zaha Hadid and he said that it was a criminal; that she showed the whole world that architecture is all about grand luxurious spent with very high cost. Contrasting of what Zaha had done, Mr. Tay is working more on an architecture that will have a huge impact for the nations and the world.
