ASSIGNMENT 3 : FINISHING & PRESENTATION

For the final project of Design Communication, this assessment was integrated with the final project for Design Studio 1. We are required to apply the skills and technique mastered from assignment 1 & 2 to communicate the final design idea. From this assignment, we were able to use architectural drawing to convey own idea and design in its form and space. Not only interior and exterior space, we also can show the human figure in the drawing to support during the presentation.


FLOOR PLAN AND AXONOMETRIC PROJECTION

ELEVATION AND ONE-POINT PERSPECTIVE PROJECTION

ASSIGNMENT 2 : ORTHOGRAPHIC. AXONOMETRIC. PERSPECTIVE

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
This is the first part of the second assignment, we are required to demonstrate skills in modern and traditional methods of architectural drawing that with clear and legible architectural information manually. Besides, we also learned how to identify and apply architectural conventions and symbols correctly. In details, we also how to indicate the line weight by different type of pens.

ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING


AXONOMETRIC PROJECTION
From part two, we had learned how to draw a building in axonometric projection to express spatial ideas and architectural detail after completed the orthographic drawing. The reason why we need to complete the orthographic drawing before axonometric projection is because we need to refer the orthographic drawing for the measurements and information. This assignment had give us a different way to express an idea clearly with minimal words if executed well.

AXONOMETRIC PROJECTION


PERSPECTIVE PROJECTION
From part three, we had learned another ways (one-point perspective and two-point perspective) to express spatial idea and architectural detail in three-dimension. The use of perspectives create not just an illustrative picture of your design intent, but also a comprehensive and inspiring one. 

PERSPECTIVE PROJECTION

ASSIGNMENT 1 : ON-SITE SKETCHING & TONAL VALUE

PROJECT 1(A) ON-SITE SKETCHING
This was the very first assignment that related to drawing and it had gave us no limit on the drawing, we can draw whatever building we wanted but with pencil. After completed this assignment, we were able to visualize different type of space through observation and also improved the drawing skill.

PROJECT 1(B) TONAL VALUE
For this assignment, we were required to learn four type of basic hatching skill which were hatching, cross-hatching, scribbling, and stippling. After completed this assignment, we were able to show the various tonal and depth values on the drawing. Besides, we also improved the skill of hatching and also developed various techniques of hatching with different media.

ASSIGNMENT 3 : DREAMSCAPE- HIDE OUT


CHICAGO ALLEY

For this assignment, we are required to design a dream space for our client by engaging it to the walls of an imagined 'city' on an alley. The movie that we chose is Divergent. Due to the complexity, the project had separated into two part. In the first part, we need to create a site model based on the movie scene. In the second part, we need to design a hide out that can fit in the site model.

REFLECTION
From this assignment, we had learned how to express an idea or conceptual narrative by design a space. Not only design, we also learned how to use different types of material to express our ideas. On the other hand, we were able to communicate the idea by using different types of detail drawings, such as orthographic, axonometric, and perspective drawings. All these drawings can help us to explain well the interior and detail space during presentation.




ASSIGNMENT 2 : LIFE CAPSULE - CRESCENDO


For this assignment, we were required to understand the antropometric and ergonomic of the human body and also how the user use the space and how this is to be expressed spatially. From the beginning, we needed to choose and understand the needs of the client. Based on his needs and wants, we needed to create a capsule within 12.50 cu.mts. From this assignment, we had learned how to apply the design in the organization and articulation of the space. Besides, we also learned how to solve the real-life architectural problems through the process of 1:1 model making. This assignment was really SUPER DUPER FUN, enjoy every moment although only had less than 3 hours sleep everyday AND cut my finger.. sew 8 knits btw. (money flied)

ASSIGNMENT 1 : SELF-EXPRESSION THROUGH OBJECT ‘REPRESENTING ME’

This is an ice breaking design project for us to have a basic understanding of the design process and how to approaches in generating idea, formulating conceptual narratives, developing design and translating it into form design. From this assignment, we are required to create an object to communicate the ideas. From the very first beginning, we need to show an object that can represent ourselves during tutorial. After that, we need to compare the characteristic and transform it into our design idea. From this assignment, we had learn how to construct and translate the initial idea to an abstract form.

ASSIGNMENT 2 : MATERIALITY OF SPACE- AN EXPERIENTIAL EXPLORATION

For this group project, we were required to form a group consist of 5 members and my group included Ng Yuheng, Ng Ming Hwee, Ong Ker Sin and Tan Shuan Lin. This project is to create an understanding of the building's material used based on its properties. The building that we had choose is POINT 92. Before we went to POINT 92, we had sent a proposal for the office company to have an appointment with the person in charge. During the appointment period, the manager had told us about all the materials used and the reason for use the materials. From this assignment, we had further understand the physical and chemical properties of the building materials being used and also the pros and cons of different materials.
