ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
DESIGN COMMUNICATION
1.Starchitect
This in an individual project where we were instructed to choose one famous architect and make a poster composing 3 of his/her famous buildings. The objective was to hone our drawing skills and rendering skills as well. The architect that i chose was Frank Lloyd Wright.
2. Farnsworth House
In this project we were instructed to compose orthographic drawings, axonometric drawings and perspective drawings of the famous Farnsworth House. We were required to draw the floor plan, 2 elevations, 1 section, 1 axonometric, 1 point perspective and 2 point perspective. All drawings were drawn after receiving feedback from our tutor for our draft drawings.

3. Integrated project with AD1
This in the final project of the semester. Its integrated with AD1 and students are tasked to re-examine our models from project 1 in AD1 and re interpret and create a model into a path, portal and place. The size of the structure is 30 meter cube and the model is created to 1:20 scale. For this model the main material I used were Timber and Glass. For DCOM, our task was to create orthographic drawings ( plan, section, elevations), exploded axonometric, abstract art, tattoo stamps and detailed drawings to 1:5 scale. Below in the file you can find the drawings mentioned above and also the final model along with the design sketch journal.
Tutorial Work
The tutorial tasks have taught me the basic important skills needed to draw architectural drawings. I learned how to draw proper floor plans and other orthographic drawings as well as using proper line weights and using proper rendering techniques. More over I have improved my architectural lettering too.
Reflection
This module has been very interesting and enjoyable. I've learned a lot about the basics of architectural drawings and renderings. I have improved my ability to draw and the tasks and projects were enjoyable to finish. The lectures were very informative and helpful as they were mainly what I referred to as I did my assignments. My overall learning experience was very good.
The projects given in this module were very helpful in making me understand what orthographic drawings should look like and how to properly compose them. My tutor Mr.Adib was very helpful in giving each student individual analysis of our projects and helped us to create the best possible drawings. Our module coordinator Dr. Filzani Illia Ibrahim made sure everyone got informed about our classes and other important announcements every week and organized the lectures very efficiently. Moreover our lecturers Mr.Adib, Ar. Zahari, Ms.Lok Mei, and Dr.Lia presented lectures very effectively throughout the entire semester.
The main learning platforms I used were MyTimes, Facebook, and Telegram. MyTimes allows access for me to go through my lecture slides provides me with information about my modules and allows me to submit all my work on one platform. The main platforms used for announcements and other important notices were Telegram and Facebook. Both these platforms allowed smooth communication between the student and the tutors.
