Design Communication 1

Project 1(A) : On-Site Sketching

Learning Outcomes:
1. Develop skills in visualizing of space through observation and perception of a given site
2. Develop skills in sketching as a mode of communication.

Project 1(B) : Tonal Values

Learning Outcomes:
1. Four variations of sketching techniques based upon your design studio prototype.

Project 2(A) : Orthographic Projections

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 are, how to generate them and how to apply them to the desin process and presentation. 

3. Ability to produce legible architectural drawings with strong creative intent. 

Through out Design Communication 1, I have learnt to communicate through design with skills such as inking, free-hand drawing, line weight, 2D and 3D technical drawings. By mastering the fundamental skills in this subject. I believe that it will be very useful to me in the semester to come, and also for my future reference.
