DESIGN COMMUNICATION
My tutor for this module is Ar Shahrianne and our module coordinator is Dr Filzani Illia Ibrahim.
From this module, I have learned fundamentals skills in expressing and visualizing space and spatial ideas through appropriate architectural drawing techniques. I have learned a series of architectural drawing skills and symbols from freehand exercises to utilizing tools in drawing.
The lecture and tutorial classes were carried out via Microsoft Teams and Zoom Meeting due to pandemic outbreak. Although classes has been carried out online the blending of lecture and tutorial classes helps me to understand clearly about tutorial task and projects. The entire module assessment will be individual assignments alongside with tutorial tasks.
MY PROJECTS
01
MOVIE POSTER
From Project 1, I will be able to practice freehand drawing skill and self- expression. I am required to intergrade natural and man-made elements into my movie poster and color it in a way that my movie poster suits the movie genre. I am also required to write architectural letterings on the movie poster.

Project 2 is separated into four parts Part 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D.
For part 2A, I am required to submit a time-lapse video on making the model of Farnsworth house referring to the dimensions given. For part 2B, I will be drawing orthographic drawings on plan, elevations and section. Part 2C, I will be drawing axonometric of Farnsworth House and finally perspectives drawings for part 2D.
03
FINISHING & PRESENTATION
Project 3 serves as a final project of this module. We are required to olor all drawings and compile them on one A1 board for presentation. Due to the pandemic, we will be doing the A1 board digitally but the coloring will be manual. We are also required to send in a 1 minute time-lapse video on the coloring process.
This module was carry out online throughout the entire semester due to the the pandemic outbreak. In my opinion, with provided online lectures and tutorials, it wasn't difficult to complete the assignment. For example, the hardest drawing in this module to me is the perspective drawings but I still managed to complete my project thanks to tutorials videos provided by our lecturers. The tutorial video guide us step by step on how to start our drawings and appropriate tools to use. More over, online tutorials held weekly also allow us to improve our work before submission.

Dr Filzani is always friendly and extremely responsive to any questions asked regarding the module and provides clear briefings on each projects so that we have a clear goal on what we should achieve for our submissions. Besides, I am also grateful to Ar Shahrianne who is dedicated and did not hestitate to held extra session for us whenever requested to just to ensure we have a clear understanding towards accurate drawing techniques. Overall, I really appreciate the guidance from both lecturer throughout the module.
