PROJECT 1

For Project 1 we were asked to choose 4 location in Taylors University that is 2 indoors and 2 outdoors and sketch these locations. The aim of this project is to cultivate on site sketching .

Before deciding the 4 specific location we were given the freedom to sketch at least 15 drawing in our sketch journal before finalizing. Through that sketching process I have learned that perspective drawing gives a person a direct feeling of being in the location and line weight in the drawings plays a very important role as well. I had also learned how light and shadow gives depth to the picture .

The image below is my final drawing for Project 1

PROJECT 2

As for Proejct 2 , the brief required us to draw the Orthographic drawings of the drawing table in our studio.

Measurements of the table was taken by each individual for themselves . I have learned how to draw the plan,section and the elevations of the table and I understand the importance of accuracy in orthographic drawing. Again line weight plays an important role in orthographic drawing .

PROJECT 3

For Project 3 we were given a building done by Gwathmey Siegel Kaufman Architects called 'The Cooper House'. There are very limited resources on the measurements of the house therefore we are required to figure out the correct measurements and draw the orthographic drawings for this house.

This project is divided into 3 parts;-

1) Drawing the plan,section and elevation of the building .

2) Drawing the exploded axonometric

3)Drawing the perspective and sectional perspective of the house .

From this project I understand how different types drawing contribute in translating an idea . The plan, section and elevations shows the exact measurements of the house from different views. While the exploded axonometric drawing gives the measurements for the interior of the building in a 45 degree angle which is the same throughout the whole drawing unlike perspective drawings that would differ in size as its all based on the angle and distance you look at the building .

DESIGN COMMUNICATION + DESIGN STUDIO

This combination is for the final project where 15% of marks from the orthographic drawings will contribute to final design studio project. I understand what an important role orthographic drawings plays in converting my idea to drawings and also it helps other people to understand what I am trying to say.

The imgae below are the orthographic drawings for my final project.
