DRAWING BASIC SPACE
ItDRAWING Assignment 2 - Individual
Students with the same group are required measure the given space including all existing furniture found at the assigned space (to include lightings/ fans/ air conditioning only without piping/ exposed wiring/ any cables/ fire sprinklers) We are to take all measurements required to explore the applications of drawing conventions and to generate the orthographic drawings individually.
​.
Objectives of this Project:
1. Identify the fundamental principles, elements and techniques in sketching, drawing, design process and presentation skills
2. Demonstrate observation skills and be able to record, organize, interpret and describe a variety of issues via visual communications effectively

WORK PROGRESS
Our assigned space was Block E, Level 8 at Taylor's University with another 3 more groups. With the other groups, we then gathered to measure the layout, furniture in the space and take photos of the space.
I sketched out preliminary drawings for the first week, master plan and an elevation view with all the furniture and necessary fittings.
​
Week by week, I adjusted the orthographic drawings of the basic space to the tutor's liking but still following the space's measurements with minor edits of the furniture with guidance from our tutor to make it look more like a furniture than what we drew.
​
I also discussed the drawings with other members in the same assigned space, to ensure there was no errors in my drawings and theirs before finalising it and inking it for submission.
REFLECTION
At the completion of this assignment, I have learnt how to draw a floor plan with the correct scale. I also learnt to draw better lines compared to the previous project and the importance of line weight as there was not much stuff going on in our space.
​
In addition, I also learned to only follow my tutor's comments and not other tutors as it might clash and confuse me even more.] I also understood more on drawing convention, symbols, projection lines and its details.
​
In conclusion, I learned the technical sides of drawing especially its uses in architecture and how important details and line wieght convey messages in our drawings.
