Project 1(a)
In this assignment, I was to produce 4 on-site sketches of
interior and exterior spaces within the campus.
A site was given for this assignment in order to understand
the notion of space in architecture and translating it into sketches as a mode
of communication. I was able to develop skills to visualize by observing and
perceiving the landscape, rhythm, details, materials, scale and proportion of
the site.
Project 1(b) – Tonal Values
This exercise is designed to enhance the ability to produce
and architectural sketch by developing skills such as creating various depth
and tonal values.
A prototype model was chosen and four sketches were produced
by using different sketching techniques such as hatching, cross-hatching,
stippling and scribbling.
Project 2(a)
The first part of the Orthographic Assessments project, we
were a given a particular building which is the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies Van
Der Rohe. This project demonstrated my ability in drafting architectural
drawings through modern and traditional methods.
The outcomes that I’ve learnt through this assignment were
to be able to identify and apply architectural conventions and symbols with
each drawing produced presenting clear and legible architectural information,
which was gathered manually.
As part of the Orthographic Projections assessments, an
axonometric drawing was produced by using information gathered from the
previous project.
I was able to gain abilities such as expressing spatial
ideas and architectural details in three-dimension by generating and applying
them to the design process and presentation. I was able to produce a legible
axonometric drawing.
Project 2(c)
This
project gave me the opportunity to learn how to construct one-point perspective
and two-point perspective by expressing spatial ideas in 3D form, understanding
the relationship between 2D and 3D in architectural graphics as well as
improving skills in drawing, composition, creativity and complexity of
drawings.
