It engages different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings to prepare students with the skills required in design projects. These skills are taught through a series of freehand and constructed drawings held both outdoors and in the studio. The teaching and learning approach for the module is lecture and tutorial-based The outline mode of delivery is a blended learning approach, with the proportion of face-to-face and use of online learning.

ASSIGNMENT 1
First time doing my own movie poster manually, with different drawing techniques and elements. Building up my own storyline, and composition of a poster. It is a fun experience doing it!
ASSIGNMENT 2
Farnsworth house was designed and constructed between 1945 and 1951. With a minimal framework and expressed with structural columns, we are assigned to construct the technical drawings to communicate, including orthographic, axonometric, and perspective drawings.
ASSIGNMENT 3
This assignment is a combined assignment with the AD1 final project. The presentation board is included the drawing of the floor plan, two elevations, and axonometric drawings based on our final model. It required us to use the techniques that we learned in past projects but applied on our own design.
