Design Communication

This module has been both enjoyable and surprisingly relaxing. The assignments we were given were not as difficult as those in the other modules. I've learned a lot about technical drawings, creating a presentation board, and how to make my architectural handwriting neater and more presentable. The lecturers and tutors were extremely helpful in providing us with useful insights into the construction industry, allowing us to improve the quality of our work.

Graphics, Sketching and Tonal values

We were each given the task of creating a movie poster. We had to include a human figure and one man-made object in the movie poster. Unlike many other assignments, the movie poster had to be coloured. As the main theme, I've chosen "Violet Evergreen," my favourite anime. The emotions I felt throughout the anime were poured into this poster as I planned its colours and composition of natural and man-made elements. I had a lot of fun designing this poster, but I also learned about the significance of word size and how it affects the overall look of the poster.

Orthographic, Axonometric and Perspective drawings

Individually, we produced 2-dimentional and 3-dimentional drawings in three stages, manually and continuously, using orthographic projections. Its primary goal is to investigate manual projection methods in architectural drawing, with an emphasis on architectural conventions, symbols, and line quality. Aside from that, some of us used AutoCAD to create the necessary drawings ( the Farnsworth House ). Plans, elevations, and sections are examples of orthographic projections. We had to create an exploded axonometric as well as one and two point perspectives.

Finishing and Presentation

This final project required us to create a presentation board for our final project in Architectural design 1. We had to adapt and apply skills and technical knowledge of specific dicipline which included organisation, content, presentation formatting and style to communicate our project via presentation boards to our audience.

Lifelong

learning

I taught myself to learn on my own while working on this assignment. I found and extracted information as I saw fit and used it as efficiently as possible. Aside from that, the information I've discovered has increased my intellectual engagement with what I'm doing and made the assignment more gratifying.
