Measure and Diagram It

Introduction to Drawing: Project 1B

This project required us to draw out different techniques of drawings on a site given. It is a individual project but when it comes to measuring the site area, it brought out teamwork between the groupmates. Individually, we were to draw out the different types of drawings on butter paper and also producing a presentation board presenting the pictures. Since the site is large, it wasn't easy measuring the places. My group measured in details the thickness of walls, doors and columns too. We were divided into two groups of threes each to measure site, and then complied our measurements together in a whole. The types of drawings we were supposed to draw are: Key Plan, Location Plan, Site Plan Details, Bubble Diagram, Circulation Diagram, and Floor Plan.

Reflection: 
From this project, I learned to draw the basics of architectural drawings. The first moment I heard of all the types of drawings we were supposed to draw, I was quite shock to hear all the types of drawings I never heard before in my life. But after I researched about the types of drawings, I understood that the types of drawings are all arranged in stages, like Key Plan is the biggest picture, then it came into Location Plan and then Site Plan, then finally Bubble diagram, the simplest way to draw out a site, and then into the more complex ones, which are Circulation Diagram and Floor Plan. Even though drawing the drawings are difficult, but I learnt that the more I redrew my drawings (due to some of them being incorrect), I finally learnt more and had improved my drawing skills.
