DIAGRAMMING | My Site 4

<BACK

IN A GROUP COMPRISING 5-6 MEMBERS, EACH STUDENT WAS ASSIGNED TO ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS MENTIONED IN THE BRIEF, ALONG WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE KEY BUILDINGS. MY GROUP WAS TASKED WITH STUDYING THE WOODEN HOLIDAY HOME BY NAREIN PERERA.

CONSEQUENTLY, WE HAD TO CONDUCT THOROUGH BACKGROUND RESEARCH ON BOTH NAREIN PERERA AND THE WOODEN HOLIDAY HOME, AND THEN CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS (SCALED AT 1:50). THESE DRAWINGS WERE TO BE METICULOUSLY HAND-DRAWN ON A3 LANDSCAPE FORMAT AND RENDERED WITH GREAT CARE.

OUR NEXT STEP INVOLVED CLOSELY EXAMINING AND ANALYZING THE KEY BUILDING THROUGH VARIOUS DRAWINGS SUCH AS FLOOR PLANS, SECTIONS, AND ELEVATIONS. THE ANALYSIS WAS MEANT TO FOCUS ON SPECIFIC CRITERIA, INCLUDING:

MAIN DESIGN INTENTIONS / PATI
- CONTEXT – TROPICAL SETTINGS, WEATHER, NATURAL LIGHTING & VENTILATION
- SPACE PLANNING (ORGANIZATION & RELATIONSHIP) - CENTRALIZED, INTERLOCKING
- CIRCULATION & ZONING – SPIRAL, LINEAR, RADIAL / PRIVATE, SEMI-PRIVATE
- STRUCTURE – GRID, RHYTHM

AFTER CONDUCTING OUR ANALYSIS, WE CONCLUDED THAT PRESENTING OUR FINDINGS THROUGH A SERIES OF 5 ANALYSIS DIAGRAMS AND 5 DIAGRAMMATIC MODELS (SIZED 8 X 8 X 8 CM) WOULD BE ESSENTIAL. THESE DIAGRAMS AND MODELS NEED TO BE BOTH ACCURATE AND INFORMATIVE, EFFECTIVELY CONVEYING THE ANALYSIS OF THE UNDERLYING CONCEPTS WITHIN THE MAIN STRUCTURE.

BECAUSE THIS PROJECT IS A GROUP PROJECT, WE WERE TO WORK WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE. THUS, THIS PROJECT HAS ENHANCED MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS AS WHENEVER WE HAD MISUNDERSTANDINGS, WE LEARNED TO COMMUNICATE INSTEAD OF ARGUING.

Reflection

WE HAVE SEPARATED TASKS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL BASED ON THEIR STRENGTH, THUS I HAVE MANAGED TO BE SELF-RELIANT AND THIS GROUP WORK HAS HELPED ME REFLECT ON MY ACTIONS AND KNOWLEDGE.

IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL HAVE TO WORK IN A GROUP. THUS, THIS PROJECT HAS HELPED ME PREPARE FOR MY FUTURE CAREER AND I AM NOW ABLE TO PUT THEORIES INTO PRACTICE AS MY UNDERSTANDING ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE WITHIN THE FIELD OF STUDY HAS ALSO IMPROVED.
