This workshop, in some ways, proves to be much more challenging than the 'Model-it' Workshop as it requires more precision and a developed concept and goal inside your mind before a final product is turned out. The 'Model-it' workshop did introduce these aspects of architectural communication and now this workshop - draw-it, allows me to further my understanding in representing architectural ideas.
Elevations and Section:
This week's in-class task and take home exercise of drafting and completing the elevations and section of the Rose Seidler house was similar in experience to drafting the plans. It furthered my understanding in the house itself, where the windows and openings in the house was positioned. Most of all it was a process which helped me improve my inking techniques and thus as I drafted the elevations and the section, the task became easier and quicker.
Rendering Introduction:
The study into rendering techniques to add texture and illustrate the architectural concepts was an invaluable process which taught me the effectiveness of rendering in increasing the appeal architectural drawings.
Experimentation with the use of pens and pencils allowed me to put my understanding in different forms of architectural communication in action.
The rendering on the elevation allowed me to test different forms of rendering techniques and their effectiveness in adding texture in the building. Adding texture into the drawing resulted in a conversation between the precise measurements in a 1:200 scaled representation and its environment being established. We are able to see the building in a more realistic context as the building's use of different types of materials and a grounding of the building onto a site (not just a floating object) is established.
The exploration of light and its effect through the building, detailed by the use of graphic pens allowed me to show the building as a living environment where the relationship between the spaces and light is very real.
