As my survey is still ongoing, (i hope whoever is reading this still already did their part in helping with answering my survey-CLICK here if you haven't) this is the gist thus far.
1. Most people who answered my survey questions are between 18-21 and 40-49 years old.
2. Majority would opt for a building to be designed as - Sustainable,Modern,Homely Effect,Brand Furnished,Futuristic,High Aesthetics and Minimalist.
3. Despite a majority that chooses functionality over design, there is still a big amount of people who chose aesthetics as the main factor in judging a good design.
4. A whopping 81.48% agree that their knowledge of design was formed by the exposure and way that they were brought up to think.
5. Also surprisingly, despite the majority rating themselves a 3 out of 10 when it comes to being knowledgeable about architectural design, 46.25% of them would willingly support a good design even if everyone is against it.
6. Statement wise, 88.86% of the respondents AGREE that people tend to lose sight of their main purpose for competing when they think only of how to knock the other opponents out.
7. The two leading statements that respondents relate to is that they like how architects are trying to make each building look unique and it doesn't matter if they don't as they wont die without unique looking buildings anyway.
8. A large sum of people agree with the fact that there are potential architects available in Malaysia if only they stop imitating what westerners do and just come up with something of their own design.
9. Unfortunately, people seem to think that architecture is not dying but is instead moving forward because there are more and more skyscrapers sprouting out each day which is actually the cause leading to the death of architecture.
My analysis thus far is that people do have the ability to think, analyze and appreciate buildings and designs but unfortunately due to the lack of knowledge on the subject matter, they tend to make the wrong choices, or rather not notice the major downside that will affect them in the future.
Looking forward to the discussion on your findings.
