[8/4/2015] Detailing and Working Drawings: Built-In Furniture Observation.

Today, we learnt how to draw a detail drawing for built-in furniture. In groups (Fauza, Eka, Susanti and Wei Xin), we have to come out with detail drawings of our chosen built-in furniture. 

And this was what we chose, a set of kitchen cabinets.

We were told to draw out a plan, elevation and section drawings from the observation above and provide a blow up drawing alongside with specifications.

[1/4/2015] Detailing and Working Drawings - Practical 01: Observation

In group of 4, we were told to choose a furniture in the E5.17 studio and my group chose the console table that s used by the lecturers.

From there, we were tasked to draw out in our way the plan, elevation and section of the drawing alongside mentioning the material used for the furniture. This was an in class task. This was to rewind back on how to draw technical drawing.

After the it ended, Miss Norji explained on how to draw out a correct detail drawing with the mentioning of specifications and dimensions. From there, she gave us a tasked where with the same chosen furniture, we are to do a proper detail drawing with the help of examples she gave us.

And this is how mine turned out.

This helped me have a knowledge of how to draw a detail drawing and help me understand better the differences in technical drawings.

[25/3/2015 & 1/4/2015] Detailing & Working Drawing

We had our first Detailing & Working Drawing class today. We were told to buy a B5 sketchbook from Daiso and design the cover page according to our own ideas. She asked us to do this, is because she wanted to see our sketching skill. Honestly, I'm really bad at sketching but I think I did quite well.

And so our first lecturer started today. Miss Rafidah explained very well in how to differentiate between presentation drawings and construction drawings. In between, Miss Norji tested us on how well we understood the lecture or not and at the end of lecture we had a little fun group activity where we had to come out with a detailed drawing of the chosen furniture in the E5.17 studio. We had to draw out the plan, section and elevation of the furniture and state the material that was being used to make the furniture.

And my group which consisted of me, Eka, Susanti and Wei Xin chose the table which the lecturer mostly uses

After each group finished producing their work, both of the lecturer projected each of the groups' drawings. This way we could observe together how they did. It also to rewind back on the do's and do not's on technical drawing. For example, the symbol to indicate our elevation or the symbol for this type of material or even the way we draw out our plan/section/elevation. In the end, it refreshed our mind and we start to remember little things on technical drawing again.

Model Making.

Ah! I am at my 8th week for my BA (Hons) Interior Architecture course. I have learnt a lot! I am happy with what I am doing. This is what I've always dream of learning... designing a space. For one of my class "Introduction to Interior Design Projects", my lecturer asked us to form a group of 5 people and with that group we have to create an edutainment space.

Edutainment space is a space where people educate themselves through entertainment. So we brainstorm a few ideas and decided on one which was to create a prison themed space with a "Life in Prison" description. We want our client (students) to learn how it feels like being in a prison.

So instead of actually building it up, we build it up through model making. This is my first time being involve with this type of work and honestly I find it tough but it's actually fun!

Here is what our model making looked like.

We have a prison cell, to show how the cell looks like. A punishment room with a TV at the side of the room where we show them how they punish the prisoners. A prison communal toilet/shower where we show them that prisoners have to shower and go to toilet in public. We put in a photo booth section where you can take picture of yourself being handcuffed or being hanged. 

We covered the whole room with concrete wall and flooring to gives off that eerie feeling and even gives off that feeling like you are in a prison. 

On top of that, we hang few ropes on the ceiling to make it more eerie looking.

I was really happy with the result and so was our lecturer. We recently got our second project and this time it's individual work. This time we have to create a personal space for our "imaginary client" and our imaginary client is our icon. We have to create a personal space based on their lifestyle and identity. I'm really excited for this one!
