Our second assignment for design communication is divided into 3 parts, which are orthographic projections, axonometric projections and perspective drawings. Our assigned building was Schroder House, by architect Gerrit Rietveld.
2a: Orthographic Projections:
" A means of representing a three dimensional in two dimensions along with drawing that communicate the shape and size of the object through a series of related two dimensional views."
In this 2a assignment, we are required to produce 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings using orthographic projections in three phases manually and continuously. The purpose is to explore manual projection methods in architectural drawing emphasizing on architectural conventions, symbols and line quality. For this semester, you will be working on The Schroder House designed by architect Gerrit Rietveld.
Requirements:
-Plan ( Ground Floor and First Floor ) -Elevation ( All )
-Section (s) -Orientation (North Point) -Complete architectural drawing conventions (cross referencing, indicating and demarcating etc.) -Line Weights and Quality -Scale 1:75 -Title Block
Outcomes:
Plans:
Elevations:
Sections:
2b: Axonometric Projection:
Axonometric drawing is an excellent method of communicating and expressing an architectural idea – be it as a diagram at a fairly early stage of the design process (ie. conceptual expression) or as a presentation aid upon finalization of your design. Axonometric drawings are a visually instigating and exciting way of expressing an idea clearly with minimal words if executed well.
Requirements:
We are required to generate 1 sectional axonometric and 1 exploded axonometric drawing showing both interior and exterior of the building.
Outcomes:
Exploded Axonometric:
Sectional Axonometric:
2c: Perspective Drawings:
This assessment introduces perspective as a mode of communication in architecture. We are required to construct firstly, 1 exterior (two-point) perspective followed by 1 sectional interior perspective (one-point). In constructing both these perspectives, we are to demonstrate the ability to express spatial idea in 3-D form, understanding of 2-D and 3-D relationships in architectural graphics, skills in drawing and composition, creativity and complexity of drawing. Also, our selection of space and exterior form is significant.
We are to understand stationary point, vanishing point, picture plane, building height, horizontal line, and ground line as the significant elements of perspective drawings.
Outcomes:
One Point Sectional Perspective ( Interior ) & Two Point Perspective ( Exterior ):
