Diagramming Architectural Principles
This project is aimed to investigate how spaces are created from the making of architectural elements: architectonics - solid, planes, lines and frames. Upon completion of the assignment students should be able to achieve a level of understanding on the works assigned and will be able to apply the idea and concept in the subsequent project.
-
We are to produce a complete set of architectural drawings (1:150) of the selected house. The drawings shall be hand drawn on A3 and carefully rendered.
-
site plan
-
floor plans
-
sections
-
elevations
-
axonometric
-
perspective (nts)
-
-
We are also required to investigate and formulate your findings into a set of 8 analysis diagrams and 8 diagrammatic models (8 x 8 x 8 cm). The models should be precise and informative to express the analysis of the ideas hidden in the project assigned. The analysis is based on, but not limited to the following:
-
organization of form
-
organization of space
-
circulation and paths-space relationship
-
spatial hierarchies
-
context
-
elements

Progress
Final
By doing this project, I've more understanding about how the architect built and designed his building that sticks to a concept. Besides, I've also found out that there are always a story behind a building that make it special, unique and outstanding. Besides, I've also learnt the building method that can bring out certain effect such as the contrast effect of the facade on Kai House.
