B.     Object Projection

C.     Geometric Projection

D.    Your City- Projection (Coloured and rendered)

E.     One point perspective of an area in TUC

F.     Two point perspective of an area in TUC

G.     Details in TUC

H.    Tracing a picture of a building

Objective

1.     To identify a personal and expressive response to visual simulation

2.     To apply basic principles and elements of design and drawing as a language to visualize and to communicate ideas.

Learning Outcomes

1.     Students will be able to recognize potential for creativity, self-expression and visual awareness

2.     Identify the fundamental principles, elements and techniques in sketching, drawing, design process and presentation skills.

Project Two: Orthographic Drawings & Diagrams (Individual)

Task

Project 2A

Students will be given a space of about 10mx15m (not more) in TUC whereby they will have to measure and observe the site. Students are required to produce the followings on A3 size papers of their choice

Project 2B

Students are required to use the area from Project 2A to illustrate Bubble Diagram and Diagrammatic Analysis. Students are required to produce the followings diagrams on A3 size papers of their choice.

Objectives

1.     To apply basic principles and elements of design and drawing as a language to visualize and to communicare ideas.

2.     To demonstrate observation and visualization skills in a variety of ways depending on the area of specialization being pursued with an emphasis on the process of drawing.

Learning Outcomes

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 commnuication in order to express two dmensional and three dimensional ideas.

Project 3: Introduction to Site analysis (Group + Individual)

Task

Group- In groups students are required to execute and prepare the followings;

1.     As a group, students are required to do a further observation of the sire used in Project 2.

2.     Students are required to prepare the following informarion

·      Site Context

·      Size, Zoning and Legal

·      Natural and Man Made Physical Features

·      Circulation

·      Utilities

·      Human, Culture and Activities

·      Climate

·      SWOT Analysis

Individual- Each group member should come up with a “case study” and propose and idea to show what would be suitable for site and to fit the Final Project requirements. Each group member should produce a case study on not more than 2 piece of A3 paper.

Objectives

1.         To demonstrate observation and visualisation skills in a variety of ways depending on the area of specialisation 
being pursued with an emphasis on the process of drawing.

2.         To develop confidence to use drawing as a means of communication to express two dimensional and three 
dimensional ideas.

Learning Outcomes

1.          Demonstrate observation skills and be able to record, organize, interpret and describe a variety of issues via visual communications effectively.

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

Final Project: Feature Wall Installation Design Proposal (individual)

Task

The task is for the students to propose a wall installation or a feature wall at the given site in Project 2 and Project 3. Through the sire analysis study, students will then find a solution or ideas to create a suitable functional wall installation. Students will then prepare a presentation boards and models to express their ideas.

Objectives

1.     To demonstrate observation and visualisation skills in a variety of ways depending on the area of specialisation being pursued with an emphasis on the process of drawing.

2.     To develop confidence to use drawing as a means of communication to express two dimensional and three dimensional ideas.

Learning Outcomes

1.        Demonstrate observation skills and be able to record, organize, interprete and describe a variety of issues via visual communications effectively.

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