Project 1_Back to Our Roots

Introduction
This project is about the interpretation of students' family history that fits squarely with the view that the family history is contextual. At its root, genealogy satisfies basic human curiosity. These needs can be summed up in our past, present and future.

Learning Outcome
Through this assignment, student have to interview their family and be able to:

• describe the historical development of human civilization
• develop skills of data gathering

Tasks

Students are divided into group of 2 and have to produce works:

• Graphical Time-line Calendar with Family Tree (include geographical, economy, politics, culture, characteristics and achievement in text and images)
• Video (in 10 minutes based in research)
• Booklet (individually work and highlight any issues to culture and traditions)

II. Video

III. Individual Booklet

Reflection

Through this project, I can clearly understand my families' civilization as I digged all these information from my parents and grandparents and I have learnt to gather the data well.
It's important to have a organized data so that we can do well for our next task with it like making an infographic book or individual booklet.

Besides, I also learnt that we should have a better communication with our partner to do the group work well, sometimes we will meet the problem-partner but we have to support them or each other to make sure our responsibility.


I'm disappointed and sad but luckily we have an opportunity to redo the infographic, and finally I done my Infographic during the holiday for both of us (Beelly and I) as I'm in my hometown and I don't believe at him but I don't know why my teammate Beelly still make another one, but I'm okay with that.
I also found that I have a big big problem that is I don't know to lead and communicate with people well but I will try to change.

Project 1(B)_Orthographic Drawings & Diagrams

Introduction
This project aims to introduce and guide the students to illustrate orthographic drawings and applying basic drawing conventions and representation. Students will be given a site to be measured, observed and presented in drawings form for presentation purposes. Students are also required to illustrate Bubble Diagrams and Diagrammatic Analysis through observation and drawings of the site given.


Learning Outcome
The objectives of this project are as follows:

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

Tasks

Students will be given a space of about 10mx15m (not more) in Taylor's University Campus whereby they will have to measure and observe the site in a group. Students are required to produce the followings on white art block A3 size papers individually:

•  1 plan (only main measurements) (one A3) 
•  2 elevations + 1 section (two A3) 
•  2 details (two A3)
•  1 introduction page of location plan + sketched perspective (one A3)
•  1 bubble diagram(s) (one A3)
•  1 sketched axonometric diagram (one A3)

VIII. Axonometric

Reflection

In this project, I learnt to observe and teamwork with my group mates to get the measurement of out site that is the Ex Coda Gallery.

This project is helpful for architecture students as it is a basic knowledge for us to learnt about the diagram drawing and presentation.

Teamwork is needed to get an accurate scale.

I can't measure and cover every section if I work alone in this stage of a foundation student.
Sometimes, they will give me advice of my drawings and I am appreciate it.

Project 1(A)_Sketch! Like Your Life Depends On It!

Introduction
This project concentrate on application of different types of sketching, rendering technique and rendering media which student have to exposed to different types of sketching and rendering skills through the production of sketches.

Learning Outcome
On successful completion of this assignment, students will be able to demonstrate the following:

• Identify the skill of creativity, self-expression and visual awareness. 
• Identify the fundamental principles, elements and techniques in sketching, drawing, design process and presentation skills.

Tasks
Individually, students have to drawings:

• Body Parts / Figure / Nature (Charcoal on white drawing paper)
• Object Projection (Charcoal on white drawing paper)
• Detail (Pencils on white drawing paper)
• Geometric Projection (Artline + white drawing paper)
• Tracing a picture with rendering (Artline + Tracing paper)
• One point Perspective (Artline + white drawing paper)
• Two point Perspective (Pencil & white drawing paper)
• Artistic Representation of a famous building in plan/elevation/section/ perspective (on brown/black paper/white + mix media or just one type)

Reflection

Though this project, I learnt a proper way of drawing and skills that an architect should have. This project had improved my drawing and observing skill well although my artworks are not satisfied but I had tried my best and I will keep working hard in a wise way to improve my drawing skills so that I can be a successful architect in the future. My artwork of one point perspective is lack of rendering and the artistic representation
could be better.
