SKETCH DRAWING
(sketching, journal keeping, detailing, doodling) / Skillfully use sketching to clarify thinking. / Confidently sketch diagrams, spatial realtionships, perspectives and details. / Understand sketching as integral in the process of creating architecture and demonstrate its value through their own propositons. / Comfortably sketch ideas and begin to integrate these into the process of 'making'. / Begin to use hand-sketching to explore thinking.
TECHNICAL DRAWING
(drafting, orthographic projection, CAD) / Create and co-ordinate proficientdrawing setscommunicating architectural intention at all scales. / Produce technical drawings adequately explaining design intention at multiple scales (large scale site to 1:1 detail). / Createaccurate drawings at various scales and mediums for project generation, rationalization and explanation. / Create and synthezsize orthographic drawings for the testing and presentation of schematics. / Understand the process of constructing measured drawings (plans, sections, elevations, axonometrics) and begin to construct one and two-point perspectives.
EVOCATIVE DRAWING / Convey the emotive qualities of architecture. / Demonstrate ability to convey project intent through compelling and provactive imagery. / Produce explanatory images that tease out accuracy and actuality of project and site. / Compose emotive drawings revealing spatial qualities such as light, material, site, context, systems, etc. / Understand drawing as a theoretical practice and begin to source and utilize precedents.
MODELLING / Create accurate and engaging models for the clear communication of architectural intention. / Use modelling to test and present rigourous architectural propositions. / Produce computer and physical models demonstrating form, spatiality and contextual suitability. / Create and photograph models that demonstrate siting, form and interiority to assist architectural process and presentation. / Use simple models to explore spatial possibilities and present thinking.
