Project 2

( 40% INDIVIDUAL )

FARNSWORTH
HOUSE

The aims of this assignment is to introduce and cultivate design communication skills through the lens of architectural graphics. Focused on honing visualization abilities, it seeks to develop the essential skills required for effectively communicating architectural ideas, space, and form. The assignment will provide a practical platform for students to enhance their proficiency in translating design concepts into compelling visual representations.

Create both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings through three consecutive manual phases using orthographic projections, axonometry, and perspectives. The objective is to delve into manual projection techniques in architectural drawing, placing emphasis on adhering to architectural conventions, symbols, and achieving high-quality lines. 

​

You will be producing:

  • Plan Drawing

  • Elevation (s)

  • Section

  • Axonometric

  • Perspectives Drawing

Lifelong Learning

This project reinforced my architectural drawing skills through lifelong learning. Creating orthographic drawings manually emphasized essential techniques and adherence to architectural standards. It was a concise yet impactful exploration that contributes to my continuous learning in architecture.

communication skills

This assignment sharpened my communication skills in architecture, focusing on the impact of drawings and line weight. Creating orthographic drawings highlighted the crucial role of precise lines, while mastering line weight added clarity and visual hierarchy. It was a concise but impactful lesson in the communicative power of architectural graphics.
