Reflection on the Course
After attending three courses throughout the semester I felt there is more to architectural representation than just technical drawings.
Firstly with architecture in motion it really taught me that architectural spaces could be represented in film as well through many images. It could also be used to show circulation through space as well as movement of different objects within the space. It is a very entertaining and exotic way to present ones architectural space.
Architectural drawing opened up a new way of looking at drawings as we were taught to take the floor plans and section and elevation from a building and asked to give it a different perspective in it. Before from my knowledge all representations through drawings could only be seen in a technical point of view however after taking the workshop I learnt that many different variations could be applied to the drawings. Examples of these variations is the introduction of colour and also the introduction of different medias like charcoal ink and endless medias which could be use to present a drawing. I took from the architecture in motion, the idea of three dimensional and two dimensional relationship through the photos in the stop motion film and modelling into architectural drawing by creating a model like axonometric and combining it with a two dimensional floor plan. Through this it opened up a new pathway for architectural drawing.
Fluid thought with architecture was a new experience for me as before I have never attempted to combing charcoal with architectural structures. The idea of fluidity greatly resembles the ideas that I learnt from the architecture in motion workshop and through that I learnt how a space could change with different elements like light and objects and movement. I also took into fluid thoughts from architectural drawings are the perspective drawings and axonometric. In a way it is like the continuation of architectural drawing but with a great focus on charcoal presentation and because of this I was able to pass through the workshop and pick up new techniques and idea for the display of structures.
I find the workshop of this course very beneficial and it taught me that architecture isnt only about technical representation and introduced me to many other ideas like through films and use of different media. I greatly appreciated this opportunity and hopefully will be able to use the material I learnt from this course to my future years and my career as an architect.
