Measure, Draw & Diagram It

Introduction
This is the second part of the project 1, which is 'Measure, Draw & Diagram It'. We were divided following the current tutorial group, my group was MVRDV. We were given a site to be measured, observed and presented in drawings form for presentation purposes. We then have to draw our parts of the site, the plan, elevation, details, section and others.

Objectives
- To apply basic principles and elements of design and drawing
- Visualise
- Communicate ideas.
- To demonstrate observation and visualisation skills

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this assignment, students will be able to demonstrate the following:

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.

3. Manipulate variety of media and techniques to visualize ideas leading to a finish product

4. Apply drawing as a means of communication

Task - 8 free hand drawings

A) 1 plan (one A3) (only main measurements)
B) 2 elevations + 1 section (two A3)
C) 2 details (two A3) (plan, elevation and section)
D) 1 location plan+ 1 sketched perspective (one A3) INTRODUCTION PAGE
E) 1 bubble diagram(s) (one A3) (of the space showing
F) 1 sketched axonometric diagram (one A3) (of anything related to the space)



Reflection 

     From this project, I was really happy to have the opportunity to draw floor plans, bubble diagram and others. It wasn't easy at all at first but I got to know better through tutorials. I'm glad that I could refine the mistakes I've made. I used to think that these drawings are so easy but through this project, it ain't easy at all, there are a lot more to learn. It was a great experience and this has motivated me on being an Architect, I am slowly moving towards my dream.

Reflection

     From this project, I've really understood more about my family, which I didn't even bother to care about in my whole 18 years time. I realised how interesting my family was. I also learnt to gather information well and compile together. It was a great project as I could communicate more and well with my family.

Well, the first project for DV is here. So pumped ! This is an individual project.

Objectives

- apply basic principles and elements of design and drawing as a language to visualise and to


communicate ideas.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this assignment, students will be able to demonstrate the following:

- Find out the potential for creativity, self-expression and visual awareness.

- Identify the fundamental principles, elements and techniques in sketching.

Learning outcomes\

     From this project, I have learnt to visualise. It was my first time trying to sketch that much and I really learnt a lot. I realised that not only sketching skill is important but we must also learn to visualise. The eight sketches weren't easy for me at all but I've tried my best. I gained a lot of experience from this project and this project really motivated me to become an Architect. Looking forward to the project 1B !

Objectives
This assignment is to provide students with basic oral presentation skills.

Learning Outcome
The learning outcomes are to be able to have the ability to present efectively by applying the elements of an effective speaker in for main areas namely the voice projection, body language, contect as well as organization of the content. We should also learn to analyse and listen to conversations in various interactive, social, professional and academic situations and also identify the main idea from lectures, talks and video by lecturers.

Task
Research and deliver an oral presentation describing the life, contributions, influence and work of any on of the following people :

                                             Knowledge


From this assignment, the first and most important thing I've learnt is the time management, time management is the most important in this assignment as it cannot be done in the last minute because we had to do research, memorize the script, take a video and edit. There are a lot of work to do although it looks simple, especially the memorizing part, it is one of the hardest part. Not only that, I also learnt to speak English fluently and also improved in memorizing. I find out that in an oral presentation, the most important thing is to not panic and be natural and also don't forget the script, make sure you memorize it well before presenting.

Video Submission

Objectives
We were asked to provide practice in basic 5-paragraph essay writing, instructions in basic referencing skills and also basic analytical skills for contemporary essays and reading texts.

Learning Outcome
The learning outcomes are to write a well-developed and organised 5-paragraph essay. Not only that, we also get to learn to apply correct APA style referencing techniques and to analyse contemporary essays critically.

Task
There were three topics for us to choose from :

From this assignment, the first and most important thing I've learnt is the time management, time management is the most important in this assignment as it cannot be done in the last minute because a good and in depth research is very much needed to support the essay. I first thought that it was easy to write a 600-800 words essay but when I was actually typing it out, I found out that I was lack of points to support the essay and I had to do more research on the topic chosen. I've also learn to do great referencing after not doing a good job in my submitted reference. I also learnt that writing a good essay will require good points, following the format and more. It was a very good experience as it was my first time doing such a long essay.
