Architectural Drawing

Architectural drawing workshop is undoubtedly the most practical workshop that I have enrolled in. I learnt a lot of drawing techniques such as rendering skills which will be really helpful in my future study in architecture.





Below is the "Tea cup exercise" which we had to draw and render the tea cup in scale 1:1.
































Above is the Mock-Up for our final drawing. I think the bridge of the Botta House is certainly the most sight catching element. So I was thinking to place the plans as a horizontal line to make a coherent feeling to the bridge.







An in-class exercise which is a perspective drawing of the house that we chose. I have choosen the Botta House, which is this building has both vertical and horizontal sense. And I think the proportion of the Botta House is beautiful. This persepctive drawing was done on tracing paper, I added lots of vegetation to create a natural feeling of the house.















Above is an in-class exercise, what we had to do was to mark the correct shadow.












Plans , section and elevation which were drawn on tracing paper.



















The FINAL DRAWING of the Botta House. I really like the bridge that extending along to the cliff, so I emphasis that by colouring it. To get a balance, I also coloured the bridges in the section, elevation and plans. The layout of the plans is an imitation of the form of the house, I tried to create a coherent feeling in the drawing.
