Project one - On-Site Sketching
Our
first project was to understand a particullar site by exploring. During our
observation, we were asked to record observation and visualize the spaces and
the human habitation through free-hand sketches. Later we were assigned to
include both exterior and interior spaces as our observation analysis. By the
end of this project, we understand the notion of space in architecture with a
much wider view. Besides that, this project also developed our skills in
visualizing space through observation and perception of the site. Our skills in
sketching as a mode of communication also improved.

PROJECT 1B :TONAL VALUES
The
very next assignment was to produce four variations of a tonal value sketch
based on our chosen object. Later we then had to explore the types sketches in
the different hatching type which includes stippling, cross-hatching,
one-directional and scribbling. We were allowed to use media such as pen,
pencil and charcoal. Throughout this project, it allows us to understand the
notion of space in architecture. Besides that, it also developed our skills in
communicating the above in various tonal and depth values. We were also exposed
to various techniques of hatching through different medium.

Project 2A : Orthographic projections: plans,
sections, elevations
In
this project, we are to utilize the given images of a simple building to be
drawn up. By using the skills demonstrated and explained in the lectures, we drew the following required orthographic
drawings. In this project, we learnt that we are to demonstrate drafting skills in modern and
traditional methods of architectural drawing, to record and present clear and
legible architectural information manually and to identify and apply
architectural conventions and symbols precisely. Besides that, we also learnt
how to demonstrate with both pencil and ink in drawing line weights, line
types, line quality and hand lettering.
Below are the drawings that I have produced:
Project 2B : Axonometric projection
In
this project 3, with the work for the
Orthographic Projections assignment that we did, we would have fairly
in-depth
understanding of the architectural detail and spatial value of the Barcelona
Pavilion. By having this axonometric drawing, we are able to express spatial ideas and architectural
detail in three-dimension, in the format of an axonometric projection. Besides that,
we also learn how to understand what axonometric projections are, how to
generate them and how to apply them to the design process and
presentation. Most importantly, we are
ability to produce legible architectural drawings.
Below are the drawings that I have produced:
Project 2C : Perspective Drawing
This assessment introduces
perspective as a mode of communication in architecture. You are required to
construct firstly, one exterior
(two point) perspective followed by one sectional interior perspective (one-point)
as illustrated on the first page. n constructing both these perspectives, you
are to demonstrate the ability to express spatial idea in 3D form,
understanding of 2-D and 3-D relationships in architectural graphics, skills in
drawing and composition, creativity and complexity of drawing. Also, your
selection of space and exterior form is significant. Throughout this project, we are able to express
spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of
one-point and two-point perspectives.
Besides that, we also got a full
understanding of what perspectives (and its different types) are, how to
generate them and how to apply them to the design process and
presentation.
