Design Communication

Project 1 (A): On-site Sketching
Learning Outcomes:
1.To understand the notion of space in architecture.
2.To develop skills in visualizing of space through observation and perception of a given site
3.To develop skills in sketching as a mode of communication




Project 1 (B): Tonal Values
Learning Outcomes:
1.To understand the notion of space in architecture.
2.To develop skills in communicating the above in various tonal and depth values.
3.To develop various techniques of hatching through different medium




Project 2 (A): Orthographic projections: plans, sections, elevations
Learning Outcomes:
1.Demonstrate drafting skills in modern and traditional methods of architectural drawing.
2.Record and present clear and legible architectural information manually.
3.Identify and apply architectural conventions and symbols.
4.Demonstrate in pencil and ink examples of:
    •line types
    •line weights
    •line quality
    •hand lettering



Project 2 (B): Axonometric projection
Learning Outcomes:
1. Ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of an axonometric projection.
2. Understanding of what axonometric projections are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the design process and presentation.
3. Ability to produce legible architectural drawings.



Project 2 (C): Perspectives
Learning Outcomes:
1. Ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of one point and two-point perspectives.
2. Understanding of what perspectives (and its different types) are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the design process and presentation.
3. Ability to produce legible architectural drawings with strong creative intent.
