Proposal of Park Visitor Centre

From the final Constructed Landscape Project ( as yall know, it's combined with this module), our final Drawing Project is drawing an actual building! And here we're going to explore ways of drawing furniture and the parts of the building - like the roof, there is a certain way of drawing it ya know!



Fyi, the drawing part of this project is only the building. The plants belong to the constructed landscape component.

This is the outcome after the colouring and the text and all.

What I learned most about this final drawing project is that to draw furniture according to scale, we need to take note of the scaling. Some furniture cannot be too close to each other. Some furniture cannot be too far away from each other. Depending on the using of the furniture. And also dimensions, especially the standard heights of windows and doors. These sums up the basics of designing a room.

Drawing Daily Items

Bringing our drawing lesson to another level now. And this time we're conquering...daily objects! Seems simple but nope. Because of the little details. Fail to do so and your drawing technique would still lack skill.

I like to take up challenging routes whenever I'm in the mood. And that so happens that I'm in that kind of mood so I chose the super friggin hard musical box kind of souvenir. It has a lot of scales (which means a lot of curves) and that's what I suffered for. But thank God the outcome is good. Lookie here!










What needs to improve on this assignment is that certain lineweights are required to be thicker to emphasise on certain important parts. Oh and also your dimensions, you need to be serious in those because measurements are critical in design, especially if it's used to construct something humans will use - safety wise.

Overall, I made it! Drawing an incredibly freehand object requires patience but envisioning the outcome of it really helps you to pull through.


Understanding Drawing

Getting the basics of drawing technique right is really important because drawing is an effective way to communicate in architecture if it's done right and proper.

So we have a little on the spot group project to have our first taste in drawing. And in comes our lecturers bringing in all sorts of...vegetables. We're required to draw our assigned vegetable from different perspectives. And we got the okra. A ladies finger hehe.

And after that we have a little presentation on different types of drawings. As there's different fields in the construction industry, there are also different types of drawings used depending on each field.

We got the interior designer. And in interior design, we found out that one has to provide the obvious floor plans and section drawings to communicate their ideas. Oh and we also have drafting and sketches and certain drawing symbols to look out for. This is our findings in presentation style.


We have a lot of fun especially drawing vegetables lol. Drawing it in detail is the challenging part, as for our okra, we had to take note of the little hairs on its skin. But overall it's a good time - cue our all ladies fingers groupie.
