DESIGN COMMUNICATION

Design communication is a subject that teach us in producing drawings technically.It is to introduce design communication skills through architectural graphics and modeling and to develop skills in visualization and communication of architectural idea, space and form.

Learning Outcomes

1 Produce designs at appropriate complexity and scales up to the schematic level using appropriate communication tools

2 Demonstrate understanding of cultural, historical and established architectural theories, philosophies and context

3 Demonstrate creativity, innovation and imagination and translate these into an architectural design solution

4 Develop design to a level for regulatory application for Building Plan submission that complies to the requirements of local authorities, including understanding of building regulations, basic building construction and materials, environmental considerations and building services

5 Translate design into construction drawings with appropriate construction details and use established architectural drawing convention

6 Work in a team and participate in the design process

For the first project in design communication, we are asked to sketch the scenery in our campus, Taylor's University.

Two interior perspectives and two exterior perspectives drawing are drawn.

It is to train how well we are in sketching and arrange the proportion of objects in a drawing.

Besides, we are also asked to render the sketches. It is to train us on the lighting skills.

PROJECT 1A- SKETCHES

PROJECT 2A- ORTHOGRAPHIC

Orthographic drawings consist of plans, elevations and sections. Before we start to produce orthographic drawings for our chosen building, Esherick's House, we are asked to try out in drawing our own studio table.

Orthographic drawings are to train us in drawing orthographic before we produce drawings for buildings.

PROJECT 2B- AXONOMETRIC

Using the plans and elevations drawn for Esherick's House. we have to produce an interior and exterior axonometric drawing. Axonometric drawing is a 3 dimensional drawing to let you know the actual look of the building.

By drawing axonometric, we can know that how the building will look like and we can also know the dimension of every details in the building.

PROJECT 2C- PERSPECTIVE

Perspective drawings are drawings which tell you how the building will look like from a specific view. We will be able to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three-dimension, in the format of one-point and two-point perspectives.

PROJECT 3- STUDIO INTEGRATED PROJECT

The final project for design communication is an integrated project with design studio 1. We have to produce orthographic drawings with floor plans, front elevation and section for the hideout we designed. Besides, we also have to draw 3 interior perspective to show the use of spaces in the hideout. The presentation boards of our hideout shows the thing that we have learned from design communication.
