Project 1 | Sketchbook and Journal.
As a start, it is COMPULSARY for all students to sketch the plans, sections and elevations of the building that the group has measured, as an expression of the students’ understanding of the building.
The sketches are to comprise at least 2 each of these categories:
-
The Genius Loci
-
Cultural Attributes
-
Technical /Construction details
Students are to produce 10 sketches that give a strong idea of the place that they have carried out the Measured
Drawing exercise based on categories specified above.
Students may use any media such as pencil, pen, markers, charcoal or watercolour to express their observations. Exploration of variety of media is highly encouraged, provided that they are not made of perishable base. The use of fixers is allowed to avoid from loss of colours. Students are to add caption for each piece, annotating vital information about what is captured in the sketches.
Project 2 | building report and video
The report is an additional document that accompanies the set of drawings for the building that is measured during the semester. Basically, the report will elaborate on the significance of the building measured from various aspects such as architectural, historical and cultural. In this report, students are required to relate the architecture of the building to its significance, highlighting how the two support the inhabitation of the building. Students are required to prepare a presentation, photobook and a video about their site. A video documenting the building is required to provide 3D experience of the building.
Project 3 | Measured Drawings and Model
The project will be carried out throughout the semester where students will be assigned to measure and document a historical / architecturally significant or heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings. Each group will have to only measure one particular building assigned by the course coordinator. Apart from doing the measuring exercise on site, students will also need to do additional research in order to piece together all the important data about the building. The model will provide additional physical information of the building.
