DESIGN COMMUNICATION

This module introduced the students to fundamental skills for the appropriate communication of architectural design. It engages the student with different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings to prepare them with the skills required in design projects.

REFLECTION & PERSPECTIVE

Looking back on the lectures, assessments, and projects given during this semester, I am very grateful that the many obstacles and difficulties that have arisen due to the MCO at hand were minimized as best as possible, thanks to the continued cooperation between the lecturers and tutors and students. Although not as effective as face-to-face sessions in the studio, I understand that the current situation mandates that online learning has become the new norm. As such, I appreciate the great lengths and effort undergone by the lecturers and tutors.
I also recognize the efforts of my tutors and module coordinators to provide online learning, even preparing lecture slides and setting up submission boxes punctually and in great detail. They have been very diligent in ensuring a seamless learning experience throughout the semester.

PROJECTS

MOVIE POSTER

In this project, we were expected to showcase freehand illustrative skills such as rendering, lettering, and self-expression through the composition of a movie poster consisting of man-made and natural elements

FARNSWORTH HOUSE

This project follows four parts; Modelmaking, Orthographic Drawings, Axonometric, and Perspectives. Through the project, we were able to have an in-depth understanding of the architectural detail and spatial values of Ludwig Mies van de Rohe's Farnsworth House.

PRESENTATION BOARD

With this assignment, we had to refer to our previous project on Farnsworth House and create a cohesive and eye-catching package to visually communicate the architectural design effectively in a presentation board
