In Class Excercizes
The drawing workshop gave me a broader knowledge about drawing tools and techniques. These will be extremely useful for my architectural study in the future.
To draw the 1:1 cup section, elevation from top and side gives an introduction of architectural drawing to me. Although it looks simple, when start measuring, drawing, it is harder than what it looks. I think this task is quite different for sketching, architectural drawing need to present the shape of the object clearly, so I really emphasize the outline of the cup, especially for the section, just leave white on the cutting place. I love simple.
For the perspective drawing, I think there are so many things can be improved. The whole image is not strong enough, artline pen is much better than pencil to draw on tracing paper to suggest a focal point for this drawing. Anyway, my idea is let the Botta House become a diving board, so there is nothing connect the end of the bridge.
Another inclass excercize is shading the shadow of the elevation by given section and plan. This work suggest us create an 3D image in our brain, also inclue the sun. The shadows provide so many information about the depth of each part of the building.

Final Drawing
Scaled plans, elevations, and sections are drawings that depict a building or an urban lanscape at a smaller size than true size.
My initial idea of the final drawing is landslip (see mock up). when I first see this building, I am inspired by the location and the bridge, and imagine when the landslip happened, everything is sliping from the mountain, people and all the animals are running , but suddenly see an red object, oh! its a bridge! which between the danger and hope, this is the main function of a home, to protect people from risk, to provide safty. I was planning to put my plans and sections on the lanscape, like objects sinking in the mud. But at the end i found it looks too big, the middle of the drawing becomes too busy so i rearrange them, let them sit quitely on my top and bottom pages.
The focal point on this drawing is the combination of the 3D drawing and 2D elevation. The elevation is used as the shadow of the 3D drawing, I think it is the most successful part. The brick of the elevation took a long long time to finish.
