Overall, I found the workshop an enlightening experience from which i acquired numerous skills and knowledge. My work throughout the semester reflects largely on ideas and concepts that i have acquired through the various workshops

Architectural Drawing Workshop

The final workshop was a very intense and engaging workshop that introduced various aspects of architectural drawings. In particular, it helped me gain a good insight into the art of perspective drawings. Through various tasks on understanding and interpreting perspectives, I feel more equipped and confident in attempting perspectives than before. I also felt an improvement in my drawing technique through attempting in-class and take home assignments. Furthermore, I have acquired more knowledge in ways of effectively presenting drawing sheets, through choosing appropriate layout techniques.  Overall, after completing this workshop, I am undoubtedly more confident in my ability to produce architectural drawings.

Drawing and Rendering Workshop

The Drawing and Rendering workshop aimed to introduce various drawing & rendering techniques and its use in architectural plans, sections and elevations. The workshop proceeded to expand on my existing knowledge on representations through plans, sections, and elevations. While I had sound knowledge on creating plans, sections and elevations, the workshop communicated the manner in which these 2D representations can more eloquently express the 3D qualities of a building. Experimentation on a variety of rendering techniques contributed to this. Overall, this workshop increased my confidence with which i can proceed to complete architectural representations through sections, plans and elevations.|


                               

The Model it ! experience...

The Model It ! workshop was a highly engaging and challenging workshop that explored the means of expressing architectural ideas through physical modelling. The workshop introduced basic modelling skills with a key emphasis on accurate understanding, precision and neatness in modelling. While I had been exposed to modelling tasks in semester one, this workshop offered a more detailed and systematic introduction to the key elements of modelling. It has helped me learn of the different  types of models, ie Process models which are quickly constructed models to represent potential ideas and concepts. Presentation models on the hand are more focused on neatness and precision for a accurate representation. Modelling the Church of Light and the Norman Fisher House also helped me gain great insight into the both these structures. At the conclusion of this workshop, I better understand how to utilize model making materials and tools, to create precise and aesthetically pleasing models in quick time.
