ARCHI PORTFOLIO
BSC ( HONS ) ARCHITECTURE
BY MAHI ABDUL MUHSIN, 0314421
THIS PROJECT IS AIMED TO PROVIDE A FIRST HAND CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND ARTICULATE SPACES VIA A SERIES OF ON-SITE SKETCHING.
PROJECT ONE - A
PROJECT ONE - B
THIS CHAPTER OF THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO FURTHER DEVELOP SKILLS IN CREATING DEPTH AND TONE IN SKETCHING, AND THUS REFINING AND ENHANCING THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE ARCHITECTURAL SKETCHES THAT ARE LEGIBLE.
REFLECTION
This exercise provided a thorough understanding of how different methods of hatching and rendering can provide different effects in depth and tonal values when applied to architectural sketches. it has improved my clarity in visualizing and quality of sketching and helped me to apply depth and complexity to my visualization of spaces.
REFLECTION
this project has allowed me to enhance my knowledge about the notion of spaces and aided in developing adequete skills in visualizing spaces through observation and perception of a given site. in addition to this, it has also taught important techniques of sketching as a mode of communication to deal appropriately with a site through a spatial sqeuence. rhythms in architecture, textures, solids and voids, scale and proportion, landscape setting and use of light and shadows are some elements i have further gained an understanding about.
PROJECT TWO - A - FARNSWORTH HOUSE REDESIGNED - ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS
REFLECTION
this project has demonstrated drafting skills in both modern and tradional methods of architectural drawings. i have enhanced my knowledge in presenting clear and legible architectural information manually. ability to apply architectural conventions, symbols, line types, line weights, line quality and hand lettering were all important skills gained via this project. appropriate use of scale and techniques, proportion of building elements and clarity of rendering are also skills i have further enhanced throughout the course of this series of orthographic drawings.
PROJECT TWO - B - AXONOMETRIC PROJECTIONS
REFLECTION
This project has improved my ability to express spatial ideas and architectural detail in three- dimension via axonomentric projection. understanding of axonometric projections, techniques to genetrate them and methods of applying them to the design process are all presentation skills gained during the course of this project. i have further enhanced my skills in visualising buildings in 3d format with more regard to building materials, composition of elements and added details.
The drawings are generated via a course of 3 weeks, using architectural tools on butter paper. The tutorials were super effective and guided me on the right track to achieve the final layout for my axonometric.
PROJECT TWO - C - PERSPECTIVES
EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE
INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE
REFLECTION
the final chapter of this project has greatly improved my ability to see given sites in different perspectives. it has thoroughly taught ways to technically generate perspectives and render them
accordingly from a given view point.
