Project 2B

Axonometric


Through this project, I have the ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of an isometric projection. I also understand of what axonometric and isometric projections are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the design process and presentation.  I find this project is the toughest among the others as this was the first time I am doing this.

Project 2A

Orthographic Projection


We were to draw up orthographic drawings of Farnsworth House in this project. Through this project, I am able to demonstrate drafting skills in modern and traditional methods of architectural drawing. I am also able to identify and apply architectural conventions and symbols. The orthographic drawings is demonstrated in ink of different line weights, line types and also written in architectural hand lettering.

Project 1B

Tonal Value


We were to choose one object for this project. Based on the selected image, we are required to produce four variations of a tonal value sketch. This is to build upon our previous assignment where we develop our skills in creating depth and tone in a sketch and thus enhancing to produce an architectural sketch that is legible. 
It was quite an enjoyable project. I am able to understand the notion of space and detailing's in architecture and objects. I have also developed skills in communicating in various tonal and depths. 

Project 1A

On Site Sketching


We are required to engage with the site by experiencing it through a spatial sequence of our choice in this project. While moving in sequence, we are required to record our observation and perception of the spaces and the human habitation of these spaces through free-hand sketches where we need to include both exterior and interior spaces.  
From this project, I get to understand the notion of space in architecture and also develop skills in visualising of space through observation and perception of a given site. This project also taught me how to develop skills in sketching as a mode of communication.

Assignment 3

A2 Board 



The last task was where we were required to translate all the information from the sketchbook into an A2 board. By changing the form of presentation of information, we were able to get a clearer overview of what we have studied on throughout this project.

Assignment 2

Sketch Book Journal


In the assignment 2, we were required to create a sketchbook in relation to the information we have gathered and present it in illustration form to further enhance our understanding towards the building. 

Assignment 1 (online forum)

Culture and History 1 is a module where I got to learn about the architectural styles in different periods of human civilization. From pre-historic times to Roman to Gothic, architecture is ever-changing, ever-evolving, ever-inspiring.
