Design Communication

This assignment was split to two parts; Project 1A – On Site Sketch and Project 1B – 4 Tonal Value. We were required to use only free hand to draw for these sketches

PROJECT 1A – On Site Sketch

[In this assignment we were required to produce 4 On Site Sketch a variety media we desire by using free hand – two exterior sketches and two interior sketches]

LEARNING OUTCOME

To understand the notion of space in architecture.

To develop skills in visualizing of space through observation and perception of a given site

To develop skills in sketching as a mode of communication.

PROJECT 1B – 4 Tonal Value

[For this assignment, we were oblidged to choose any object we wish nd sketch it in the four tonal values that we learnt – Stippling, Cross Hatching, Hatching, Scribbling]

LEARNING OUTCOME

Four variations of sketching techniques based upon you’re design studio prototype model.

               

Scribbling

Hatching

Cross Hatching

Stippling

In this assignment, we were given the task to draw the orthographic projection, axonometric drawings and two perspectives drawings on the Barcelona Pavilion, located in Germany, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

PROJECT 2A - Orthographic Projections: Plans, Sections, Elevations                                                                         

[Orthographic projections of the given building, Barcelona Pavilion,

with the scale 1:100]

LEARNING OUTCOME

Demonstrate drafting skills in modern and traditional methods of architectural

drawing.

Record and present clear and legible architectural information manually.

Identify and apply architectural conventions and symbols.

Demonstrate in pencil and ink: line types, line weights, line quality, hand lettering.

PROJECT 2B – Axonometric Projection

[To generate a sectional axonometric projection showing both the interior and exterior space of the building]

LEARNING OUTCOME

Ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of an axonometric projection.

Understanding of what axonometric projections are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the design process and presentation.

Ability to produce legible architectural drawings.

PROJECT 2C – Perspectives

[Drawing two perspectives, one interior – one point perspective, one exterior – two point perspectives, using the plan drawn during Project 2A]

               

LEARNING OUTCOME

Ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of one point and two-point perspectives.

Understanding of what perspectives (and its different types) are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the design process and presentation.

Ability to produce legible architectural drawings with strong creative intent.
