progress

To start my orthographic drawing for Farnsworth house, I referred to senior's work and digital examples given by tutor in the slides to know the dimension and also the overall look of the drawings

After understanding the dimensions and interiors of Farnsworth house well, I start to do drafts for my orthographic drawings using pencil and then ink it after showing progress to my tutor during tutorial classes

I chose to go with 45 degree for axonometric drawing and transfer orthographic drawing's dimension into axonometric drawing.

As it was my first time knowing axonometric drawing, I referred to senior's work as it was confusing for me. I used butter paper to draw with pencil and traced it on a A3 size paper followed by inking it.

In my opinion, one point and two point perspective is the most difficult task for me as I had totally no idea of how to start

Thankfully my tutor attached a video of the drawing tutorial and that is how I learnt about these two drawings.

I pasted butter paper all around my A3 size paper and also photocopied another paper of my floor plan to draw.

reflection

From this assignment, I'm able to introduce the techniques of drawing in the built environment practice. I'm also able to impart understanding on plan view, elevation and section view and ability to express three-dimensional space and object into two-dimensional orthographic design.

In this assignment, I learnt about how to draw a plan of a existing house, I learnt techniques of how to draw a correct floor plan, elevations, section, axonometric and perspective drawing with the help from my tutor. These techniques will definitely contribute a lot to me in my future years of studying architecture.

In this assignment, I faced many time management problem as I was also rushing for my other module assignments as I put most of my attention to my another module's assignment. I was glad that I did a good job planning my time in order to submit my work on time.

As I was new to especially axonometric and perspectives drawings, I had to find tutorials videos online in order to help myself understand better. Instead of producing poor quality work and not doing anything about it, I took initiative to learn from my friends and also Youtube videos.
