Project 1: Diagramming Architectural Principles
Explore architectural design through the abstraction of 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional composition of space
PROJECT BRIEF
In groups of 5-6, we will be assigned to one of the following architects and their key buildings. We are required to conduct a background research on the assigned architect his selected key building and to produce a complete set of architectural drawings (scale 1:50).
BACKGROUND STUDIES
As a group of 5 members, we kick start the assignment by having few understanding of the architects background and his wooden holiday house background
DESIGN PROCESS
LINES & RHYTHM
The architectural elements and principles applied in this model design are used to express and explain how a simple geometrical shapes can produce a rhythm by implying movement in it and create a sense of harmony in the overall composition of the wooden holiday home.
After gathering informations, we continue to do produce a precedent studies on his works, by listing down additional informations
MOCK-UPS
Identify key architectural design elements and principles of wooden holiday home and employ them in creating a Test models
MOCK-UPS
Identify key architectural design elements and principles and employ them in creating a Test models to explore different forms.
MOCK PRESENTATION
Had mock presentation to explain my design intention to tutor, I have changed few thinking ideas at this time according to tutor suggestion / comment .
COMMENTS / FEEDBACKS
Received constructive feedbacks from my lecturer to further develop my models
FINAL WORK
Finalized Pdf slide attached below:
Demonstrate satisfactory manual drawing and model-making skills to represent and communicate the design.
REFLECTION
DISIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE
I've learned real-life examples form my tutor's teachings. With these knowledge, I've learned develop freehand drawing skills through combination of self-expression, manual drawings, architectural lettering, model making ,tonal values and rendering.
THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
I managed develop skills in exploring various approaches in translating ideas, design translation and interpretation and explore varied forms of design principles in communication and expression of self and its sense .I faced many challenges, especially in getting inspiration and re-analyzing my model. When I was advised to improve on it, I keep updated my progress to my tutor.
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
I communicate well and interact with my tutor effectively whenever I'm having difficulties. Upon completing my poster now I'm capable choosing the right colour palette to capture the essence and express the design intention.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
I've learned to communicate with my tutor whenever I'm unclear on certain directions of the task. I was keep updating my progress to my lecture in a short tutorial time with good communication skills.
