Description

Through the application of basic drawing, compositional, modelling and rendering practices developed in Communication One, students will extend their ability in techniques of architectural representation. Opportunities will be provided for students to develop skills in model making, using materials such as cardboard, plastics and wood and in rendering techniques, using a selection of media. Students will be encouraged to explore different compositional, modeling and media techniques and critique the implications of their application. Students will develop basic capabilities in professional drawing production and will be required to demonstrate their understanding of architectural drawing conventions and their application in rendering and presentation techniques. A series of well-defined group and individual projects will provide opportunities for students, in tutorial settings, to demonstrate their extended skill and technique development as well as their ability to critique different modes of architectural representation. Integral to the assessment process is the requirement that students provide written evaluation and feedback about their own and their peers completed tasks.
