  • The final project of the semester is an integration of Design Communication along with Architectural Design Studio 1. we were to apply all the knowledge attained in Design Communication to aid in the drafting of our designs in Design Studio 1. This included orthographics, axonometrics, and perspective drawings.
  • As the final assignment regarding basic technical drawing skills, we were required to produce two technical drawings, that being a two-point perspective, and a one-point perspective, respectively. The aim of this project is to further build up skills in three-dimensional visualisation, as well as to give a better understanding of spatial ideas and architectural detail.
  • Working on the same building, we were to draw and render an exploded axonometric drawing in a scale of 1:50, and to highlight specific parts of the structure according to our personal preference.

    Learning how to properly complete this assignment, one had to know ho to properly visualise the structure in a three-dimensional format, whereas previously we only had to deal with two-dimensional technical drawing.

    In my drawings, I chose to highlight the marble walls that make up the structure. The technique and media of my choosing was colour pencil rendering.
  • For this project, the same building was assigned to the whole class, the Barcelona Pavilion, designed by Mies Van Der Rohe. We were then required to conduct intensive research on this particular structure and draw out its plans, sections, and elevations using proper drafting techniques, including proper lineweights and renderings.

  • The task for project 1(b) was to choose, arrange, and photograph one or more object(s), and ensure that the composition of said objects gave off a clear line between object and shadow. Then we were to redraw it out using four different drawing techniques, cross-hatching, stippling, scribbling, and hatching. 

    For my object, I chose a set or crayons, arranged in triangular layers.

    The Idea of this practice is to give a better understanding of how to properly project proper tonal values onto paper while using different techniques to show different texture. This also enables one to properly differentiate between the several spaces in a drawing composition. 


  • The task of this project was to go to a specific site and sketch. The project aims to polish sketching skills as an architecture student, as well as further embellish an understanding of how to properly project the spatial values of a certain place. Sketching skills are of utmost importance as it is one of the main modes of communication in the architect-client relationship. Practice in sketching also helps develop visualisation skills, an important asset in designing.
