DESIGN COMMUNICATION (ARC62404)

TUTOR: MS. CARROL LEE

An introduction to the fundamental communication skills in architectural design.

Through a series of freehand and constructed drawings given in this module, we can engage and apply visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas into our design projects.

PROJECT 01 MOVIE POSTER

Movie Poster "A Wish Upon A Star"

A short film which illustrates the life of a fairy who roams around the forest every night, collecting fallen stars with the intention to fulfill the desires of those who wished upon them. Wishes were granted one by one but her loneliness only grew as she witnessed the close connections forged between human beings for it was something she has yet to experience before. Yearning for a company, she took her shot and made a wish upon a shooting star in the sky one night even though she was of no capacity to fulfill her own wishes. Not knowing how and when, she waits patiently for a day where her dreams come true.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we were unable to conduct face-to-face classes which refrained us from gaining the full learning experience of working together in studio with our peers. Difficulties were also faced when we had to show our work digitally as the details of our work were hard to capture on screen. Regardless, I'm glad that I'm able to acquire the basic knowledge and skills when communicating our ideas through design with the help of my tutor and lecturer.

SELF-REFLECTION

Through this module, I was able to hone my drawing skills as we had to produce both freehand and construction drawings weekly. Besides, I was given a chance to explore and express myself through the use of different art mediums. Under the guidance of my tutor, Ms. Carol, I've realized the importance of attentiveness to details such as the neatness of our drawing lines to the tidiness of our model. Overall, I am grateful for the learning experience which allows me to propel further into my architecture degree.
