DRAW IT! POSTER

From the 'Draw it' course, I learnt how the variations of 2D to 3D drawings allow the viewer to look at the design step by step more deeply by looking at the overall form, then in to the detail.

The ideas the 2D and 3D drawings and each drawing type vary and they seem to communicate the ideas they convey in different ways. For example, the 3D drawing of two-point perspective helps the viewer to get an idea of how the design looks overall in its true form, while the 2D drawing of elevations shows how the design looks from different directions.

DRAW IT!: Final presentation

 

Even though the outcome was not as good as I expected for my final presentation, I learnt how I could improve better in the future for architectural communication through drawings.
The main issue I had with this presentation was that the drawings were all too literal and did not communicate further than just the materials itself. Therefore, in the future, I believe I could improve by communicating the ideas and the concept within the design more abstractly without using the true colours of the design. I learnt an important lesson of how each drawing must communicate an important idea clearly without any explanations, but by the drawing itself.


 

DRAW IT!: Base drawings

The building design which I did my drawings on was the Fisher House by Louis I. Khan.

Through these drawings from the floor plan to the second point perspective, I was able to learn the basic form and the details of the design. Also, with further research, I could look further in to the design such as the architect's intention and concept and how they are reflected in the design. I think the main idea I liked about the design was the idea of 'warmth,' because it showed the architect's way of communicating the relationship of a family.

DRAW IT WK3 CLASS TASK

The above images are quick sketches of our university in two point perspective.

It was enjoyable to have an outdoor activity once in a while and applying two point perspective to a real life time drawing was a great fun.

DRAW IT WK2 CLASS TASK

These were quick sketches we did during class, and the benefit of this exercise was to help us look at images quickly but in detail to produce drawings which are simple but enough to communicate the ideas or the image.



DRAW IT WK1 CLASS TASK

 

These drawings are what we did for the first exercise in our first class. It was a great fun and even though they were quick drawings, it helped me to look at positive and negative spaces, quick rendering and looking at edges rather than the details of the object for quick drawings. I think it was a really fun start of the course.
