The final assignment was to draw design/presentation drawings on Rose Seilder House. This consisted of elevations, sections, floor plans and 3D drawing. When I studied the house I noticed many things about the house. The open space of the house is accentuated by many windows allowing a large amount of natural light into the building. It is divided into two main areas, the public/living domain (which includes the kitchen/dining area and living room) and the private domain. The deck and 'playroom' act as a path and mediator between the two. This pathway can even be adapted to suit a situation, with a full height curtain able to divide the playroom and a doorway joining the deck to the master bedroom.
The assignment was challenging but also rewarding. We were able to use the skills we learnt in class. The most challenging part of the assignment was arranging where to put the plans and elevations. Thinking which arrangements were best to communicate the design clearly (however from this blog you cannot tell how the plans are arranged but it is suppose to be picture (a) bottom right, (b) top left, (c) bottom left, (d) top right)
Week 3

This week we were required to do two task. First was to follow the instructions on the sheet (a) and draw the required shapes in a two perspective view. This was a bit challenging because initially when draw it looks like it in the wrong perspective however as I got use to which ways the lines vanish to it was clear how to draw two point perspectives.
The second task was to draw the Rose Seidler House onto the university's science lawn. This exercise really forced me to think about the scale of the house since we were only given one measurement to work from. It also made me imagine how the house looks drawn in two point perspective so I had some difficulties with the ramp.
Week 2
In week 2 we were required to measure a room and attempt to draw the plan and section of that particular room. The difficult part of this floor plan was because on the outside of the room/building there was an extra layer of brick so it required me to estimate how deep the way was. Also through this exercise it made me think about how i was going to place my plan and sections on a piece of paper to make it easier to understand this room.
Week 1
This week we were required to draw the elevations and sections of a normal household tea cup using nothing but a ruler. This was a great learning exercise as it gave me a better understanding of what a section is and how to draw it.
