ARCH 1142- Architectural Communications

Completing these three very different workshops has been an insightful and helpful experience for me. I have learnt a number of different skills from, hand crafting, to computer graphics, to binding to drawing and painting all very useful in assisting me in communicating my architectural ideas for both uni and in my future career. Having previously had very little experience in all of these fields especially in that of drawing and painting I have found this course useful for opening up ideas about many possible ways to communicate my designs.

Useful relationships I have drawn from all three workshops:
Each of the three very different workshops have inspired me with ideas about how to communicate my ideas. They have all given me fresh insights into the endless opportunities for communicating designs. All workshops had a hands-on component, the modelling workshop primarily all hands on, the atlas workshop with painting, binding and creating of a 3D tunnel experience and Fluid Thoughts to actions through drawing and painting. In a world that is becoming increasingly computerized these basic skills almost feel more important as they require a deeper level of consideration of where one is to make their mark (there is no control "z" on a pencil!) . This hand, eye cordination can then later be translated onto computer technologies. I feel learning these basics will greatly benefit my skills in Computer Aided Design in the future.
