ANALYSIS: INITIAL SKETCHES GROUP CRITIQUE

Sketches, ideas, and drawings are being made this week. My classmates and I have started the part of the project called “Ideas development”. This part of the project always comes after having an extensive knowledge of what you will be doing in your project. In order to develop an Architectural project you first have to look up for the basics to then narrow it down until you have a clear idea of the design you will want to come up with.

In my case, my classmates along with my tutor had a look at my drawings to see whether they were attractive from their perspective. After a thorough analysis of all my drawings, they said all the drawings were fine. However, one things they also mentioned was the lack of curved, moving-type of buildings. (I had just 3 buildings with curves and movement expression and about 9 were very geometrically design).

They suggested me to come up with more curved design even though one of my main constraints in the project is affordability. By designing more curved buildings I will have a wider vision of how can be the best possibility in order to outweigh the problems presented in my project. It also can boost my imagination so that in the future I can think of more ways to develop my ideas.

Finally, my tutor suggested me to start thinking about materials and textures in terms of building exterior and interior. This means, start to apply colours and texturing techniques so the viewer can have a much clearer idea of what I am intended to show.

The future aspects I have to think about so far are:

• Curved architectural drawings.
• Colour and texturing techniques on drawings.
• Exterior and interior design of the house.
