Project 2
"Farnsworth House"
For this assignment, students will independently create both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings of the Farnsworth House using orthographic projections, axonometry and perspectives across three phases manually. We are required to explore manual projection methods in architectural drawing emphasizing on architectural conventions, symbols and line quality. The project aims to introduce design communication skills through architectural graphics, fostering the development of visualization and communication abilities in expressing architectural ideas, spaces, and forms.
ARTWORK
Part A - Orthographic Drawings
Initially, I conducted research on the orthographic projections of the Farnsworth House, encompassing its plans, elevations, section views, materials, and dimensions. After that, I demonstrated technical knowledge that I learned during the lecture by incorporating architectural lettering, symbols, and precise line weights to create the drawings.

Part B - Axonometric Drawing
Upon completing Part A, I proceeded to further explore axonometric drawing techniques, drawing on insights gained from supplementary videos provided by my lecturer in myTimes.

Part C - Perspectives Drawings
Following the axonometric drawing, I began working on both one-point and two-point perspective drawings. In addition, I incorporated human figures and trees to scale into the compositions, enhancing their visual appeal and overall completeness.

Reflection
TGC 4.0: Communication Skills
Through this work, I've strengthened my capacity to translate visual information into both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings by closely observing and interpreting drawing principles and techniques. Refining these skills involved applying technical knowledge, such as architectural lettering, symbols, and line quality, to craft orthographic, axonometric, and perspective drawings, ensuring the effective and clear delivery.
