Design Communication

PROJECT 1

The project consisted of two parts,A and B.We were required to produce 4 sketches for each part to practise the different forms of sketching and rendering.Part A had us practising on site sketching,two indoor sketches and 2 outdoor sketches.While part B,required us to show four variations of sketching techniques based upon an object showing details and shadows.

The following are the sketches for Project 1A:



Indoors of  a Mosque



Indoors of a library



Outdoors



Outdoors



The following are the sketches for Project 1B:

Bracelet:Hatching



Bracelet:Cross Hatching



Bracelet:Stippling



Bracelet:Scribbling



Reflections:

The learning outcomes intended for these projects were to understand the notion of space as well as develop skills in visualising of space through observation of a given site,including the development of tonal value through sketching as a mode of communication.
Completing this assignment,helped me to understand spatial value in architecture.It enhanced my observational and documenting skills and also helped me improve my sketching and rendering techniques of hatching through various mediums.I learnt how to clearly present my work and data through drawings as a means of communication. 
PROJECT 2
Project 2 was divided into three parts,A,B and C.In 2A,we were required to produce proper orthographic drawings and proper drawing conventions of the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies Van der Rohe.We were to produce a detailed floor plan,a site plan,4 elevations and 2 sections,all at a scale of 1:100.Project 2B,required us to produce an axonometric drawing of the same building.For 2C,we produced 2 perspective drawings of the pavilion,a two point perspective and a one point sectional perspective respectively.
The following are the images of the Project

PERSPECTIVES



Reflections:
The learning outcomes intended were to demonstrate drafting skills,in architectural drawings and to present clear,legible architectural information manually.To apply architectural conventions and symbols.To express spatial ideas in terms of an axonometric projection.
Undergoing this task enabled me to apply architectural conventions into my work.It allowed me to exhibit my skills in different architectural drawings and demonstrate my understanding of line types,weight,quality as well as hand lettering.My ability to express architectural detail in 3 dimension in axonometric projection has improved and how to generate perspective drawings in  the design process and presentation has become more clearer.

SHAPE GRAMMAR

Image
INDIVIDUAL EXERCISES Based on shape rules taught in class,we were asked to complete a batch of exercises to show our understanding of the rules learnt. PROJECT 1 This is a group project where each group is required to find a natural or man-made element surrounding them that they believe having some underlying design principles. Then, facilitated by the tutor the group should analyse the design principles and translate them into shape rules. Next, the group shall use the newly established rules to create new and original façade designs for any chosen block in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. Form a group of 2 students. Each group is required to find a natural or man-made element from actual observations, books or internet which they believe having certain underlying design principles or rules. This could be identified especially if the element has some repetitive components, gradual enlargement or reduction in scale, gradual rotation, or other predictable ...

MEASURED DRAWINGS-KUALA LUMPUR TEXTILE MUSEUM

Image
TASK: We were assigned to measure and document a historical / heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings,and a model. Along with the drawings and model,an analysis report and photobook were to be submitted too,in order to complete the project.For the presentation,a website and video were also required. Along with the measured data and recordings,we had to individually produce 20 sketches of the building.The sketches were to show physical and intangible qualities and characteristics of the building. REFLECTIONS: Completing this assignment helped me to undertake the responsibility of producing accurate drawings which could be used in the future. It aided in using the most appropriate method of architectural historic documentation and helped me recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation.I learnt to explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements as well as interpret historic architectural element, structure and b...

ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE

PROJECT 1 The first outcome of the project will be an A3 sized illustrative chronology poster of Islamic Architecture that interprets the Islamic architectural language and the unifying and diversifying principles of Islamic architecture influences to the architectural development of the Southeast Asia countries in general and Malaysia in particular. a. The Seven Unifying principles of Islamic architecture: viii. Architecture as Tawhid: Unity & Uniquity of Allah) ix. Architecture of Ihtiram: Respect x. Architecture with Ikhlas: Sincerity xi. Architecture as Pursuit of ‘Ilm: Knowledge xii. Architecture for Iqtisad: Balance xiii. Architecture of Haya’: Modesty xiv. Architecture as Dikr: Remembrance b. The Diversifying principle of Islamic Architecture: i. Architectural principle of ‘Urf REFLECTIONS: Thie project enabled me to study the Islamic principles of architecture,and to understand the architecture of Mosques in South East Asia.
