Project 1 : ON-SITE SKETCHING AND TONAL VALUES
A first-hand conscious experience is important in the understanding and articulation of space. This assessment introduced us the visualisation and expression of space through on-site sketching activity on campus. In this project, we are required to develop our skills in creating depth and tone in a sketch, and thus refining and enhancing the ability to produce an architectural sketch that is legible.
In this project I've learnt the to observe the certain angle and the details of the spaces but still a lot of improvement for the sketching.
Project 2A : ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS : PLANS, SECTIONS, ELEVATIONS (PART A)
In this project, we are to utilize the given images of a furniture which is a table to be drawn up. By using the skills demonstrated and explained in the workshops draw up the following required orthographic drawings.
In this project i've learned the technique and method of architecture drawing and also know that the important of the line weight, line types, line quality and the hand lettering which is the architecture writing.
Project 2A : ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS : PLANS, SECTIONS, ELEVATIONS (PART B)
In this project, its same as project 2A part A as we are to utilise the given images of a building to be drawn up. The building given is a Esherick House. By using the skills demonstrated and explained in the workshops draw up the following required orthographic drawings.
Compare to the last project which is draw the table, the building is totally different and harder as it has more detail you need to look at and draw it out.
Project 2B : AXONOMETRIC PROJECTIONS
In the production of the work for the Orthographic Projections assessment, i have, by now, a fairly in-depth understanding of the architectural detail and spatial value of a building . In this exercise, l've learned generating partial of an external and a sectional (internal) axonometric of the house. These projections will be generated at a scale of 1:75 on A2-sized butter paper (for construction) and finally inked on A1-sized tracing paper.
Project 2C : PERSPECTIVES
This assessment introduces perspective as a mode of communication in architecture. We are required to construct firstly, one exterior (two-point) perspective followed by one sectional interior perspective (one- point).
In constructing both these perspectives, you are to demonstrate the ability to express spatial idea in 3-D form, understanding of 2-D and 3-D relationships in architectural graphics, skills in drawing and composition, creativity and complexity of drawing. Also, our selection of space and exterior form is significant.
Project 3 : FINISHING AND PRESENTATION
This assessment is integrated with the final project for Design Studio 1. We will apply the skills and techniques mastered from Assessments 1 and 2 accordingly and appropriately to our skills and to best represent and communicate our final design idea. Asides demonstrating our abilities and skills, we will also learn to manage and plan ourtime effectively and work efficiently.
