Project 1- On Site Sketching and Tonal Values

For this first assignment, we were taught how to visualize and express space through free hand sketching using pencil as a medium. We were asked to go around our University campus to sketch interesting interior and exterior spaces.

​

  The final product consist of 2 exterior and 2 interior sketches of spaces. We were also taught on how to use different hatching methods to creating tonal values and texture to bring the sketch to life. 

  Through this assignment, I've not only learned how to visualize and express space through sketching. I've also learned how to observe as it is the most important skill for on site sketching as there are many details that requires attention. Other than that, my drawing skills have also improved.

  • Project 2A -Orthographic Projections 

  • Project 2B -Axonometric Projections

  • Project 2C -Perspective Drawings

​

We are asked to produce

orthographic projections of plans, sections and elevations of the building Ex of in House. In this project 2a, we will include sufficient evidence to show that we are competent in a range of architectural drafting skills.

​

Project 2B requires us to produce exterior axonometric and an interior axonometric drawings of Ex of in House.

Following the demonstration in the lecture, use pencil and butter paper to generate an external axonometric drawing of the building. We are to refer to our orthographic drawings and the documents for measurements and information throughout this exercise. After having confidently constructed our drawing in pencil, proceed to trace our final ink drawing on tracing paper. 

​

Project 2C wants us to produce one point perspective and a two-point perspective drawings. Perspective drawings is another method of drawing that help us to showcase the spatial quality and space figuring better in a 3-dimensional way of views.

Project 3- Hideout Dream Space

The Design Commnication final project was conjoined with Design Studio 1 final project.
WE ARE ON OUR OWN CONTROL.
We need to come out with our own designated space and technically and visually bring out the Orthogonal drawings and axonometric OR perspective drawings. Throughout this project, i was fully taught and got the techniques to do with everything related to design communication well. It was a good practise for us to prepare us to our next step in the architecture journey!
