SJ 05 - SITE PLAN AND MEASURING SKILLS

The site that my group had chosen is located in Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, in between Block D and Block E at the Lower Ground Floor.
This site is chosen as it has an abundance of green and natural materials like trees, plants, fishes, rocks and water.

As the site measurement requirements stated that the area is within 10 m by 15m, thus, half of the area could be included as our group's site plan.

The thumbnails are drawn such as Rubbish Bin and Drain as it cannot be seen clearly in the site plan.

This site perspective is a 1 point perspective view from the lake.

This site perspective is a 2 point perspective view from one corner of the site.

SJ 04b - DRAWING TEMPLATES AND SYMBOLS

The templates and symbols traced are such as sanitary fittings, doors, walls, plants and floors. I had learned many templates and symbols used when drawing a blueprint of a building.

SJ 04a - INTRODUCTION TO SITE PLAN, PLAN, SECTION, ELEVATION AND PERSPECTIVE

My group's architect is PHILIP JOHNSON. He was one of the greatest architect and had been listed as one of the world top architects. He even had been interviewed by the Time magazine.

One of his greatest creation is the Gate of Europe also known as Puerta de Europa located in Madrid, Spain.
The Gate of Europe is a twin tower which looked inclined towards each other.It has 26 floors altogether.
These are the site plan, plan, section, elevation and perspective of the Gate of Europe.

Instead of drawing Philip Johnson's ever famous Glass House, I had decided to draw another house created by him for Mr. and Mrs. Boissonnas as a practice.
It is located on the hill as contour can be seen surrounding the house in the site plan.
It is truly a nice bungalow as beautiful views can be seen from the hilltop.

SJ 03b - SKETCHES DURING LECTURE

These are the sketches that are asked to draw during the lecture.

I had learned to draw using 1,2 and 3 perspective views. Besides, I also learned about the importance of the horizon line and the vanishing point which served as a guide when sketching a view with depth and space.

SJ 03a - 1 PLAN, 3 PERSPECTIVES AND 1 DETAIL

I had drawn the Taylor's University Lakeside Campus plan to enable me to show where I got my inspiration for my sketches from.

(external)

1. This sketch is drawn from the lake view. It looks magnificent as it is taken from the Ground Level Floor. The shadowing is drawn using the zig-zag method. While the short strokes are also used when sketching the railing.

(internal)

2. This sketch is drawn at the walkway in the Enrolment and Admission Centre. Scribbles are used when drawing the distant plant. Crosshatching and Zig-zag are used for shading.

3. This detail emphasise on the little fire sprinkler on the top of the ceiling of the previous sketch. It is important in case of a fire emergency where it will spurt out water droplets.

4. This sketch is drawn in the library. Crosshatching and Zig-zag method are used when shading.

5. The detail emphasise on the lift button. Zig-zag method is used. The lift button is important as part of the transportation as to allow a faster flow of people to their desired floor.

6. The sketch is drawn as viewed from the Amphitheatre. Crosshatching and Zig-zag are used when shading.

 

7. The detail are the railing as it is important to avoid people from falling over, thus, prevent accidents. This railing also act as a transparent wall (plane) for the entire walkway.

SJ 02b - PERSPECTIVES AND STROKES

The 3 objects are drawn entirely using the strokes learned. The strokes used are stated on the objects.
As for the perspective, I had also included the types of strokes used especially when drawing and shadowing.
It was interesting to know that there are techniques to apply when sketching.

SJ 02a - TYPES OF STROKES

These are the strokes that I had just learned during lecture on 23/9 and I had apply it on a sketched pear (object). I had discovered the effect differences on the object when using different strokes.

SJ 01 - TOY CHARACTER

These are the 3 toy characters that I had chosen such as Mocha, Pashmina and Spiderman. The description of the toys are also stated.
