TUTORIAL WORK
Using the weekly task outlined during the tutorial session, create a series of drawings as specified below, following the arranged layout.The task presented during the tutorial session required producing a set of drawings based on weekly instructions and arranging them according to a specified layout. This process not only honed my drawing skills but also emphasized the importance of following guidelines for effective communication through visual elements. The experience provided a practical application of learned concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of how to convey information through organized and purposeful drawings.
PROJECT 1 - STARCHITECT
This assignment is to choose my preferred starchitect from the list and perform background research on the architect to understand their style, personality, and other pertinent details.Engaging in the assigned task of selecting and researching a favorite starchitect provided an opportunity to explore diverse architectural styles and personalities. The task not only broadened my understanding of renowned architects like Frank Gehry but also encouraged me to appreciate the significance of individual design philosophies. Overall, this assignment deepened my insight into the world of architecture and its influential figures.
PROJECT 2 - Farnsworth House
PROJECT 3 - Presentation Board and Model Making Process
In this project, we will create 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings through successive manual phases, employing orthographic projections, axonometry, and perspectives. The aim is to delve into manual projection techniques in architectural drawing, placing emphasis on architectural conventions, symbols, and line quality. Engaging in this project provided a hands-on experience in producing both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings using various manual techniques such as orthographic projections, axonometry, and perspectives. The focus on architectural conventions, symbols, and line quality underscored the importance of precision in architectural drawing. This practical exploration deepened my understanding of manual projection methods and their significance in conveying architectural concepts visually.
As part of the design studio work for assessment, you'll be required to create a presentation board and a 3D model to complement the production process. This design studio work necessitates the creation of a presentation board and a 3D model for assessment. This dual requirement encourages a comprehensive approach to visualizing and communicating design concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of the project's intricacies and presentation techniques.
