CFP004

UIR20183

The first semester focused on developing drawing and representation skills. Continuing in a similar vein, during the second semester, the CFP Studio component focuses on building analytical abilities. Exercises like mapping and data representation engage with on-ground reality, requiring that the students develop their ability to observe, collect data and analyse it, as well as communicate and represent it meaningfully; building elements and materials allows for initial familiarization with these, theoretically as well as through observation of built spaces around; while making and testing structures uses hands-on experience to enable conceptual understanding. Technical drawing II builds on the skills imbibed initially and develops them towards further complexity. All the exercises find their culmination in tackling a design problem, which brings together the skills and abilities while introducing the students for the first time to the design process. These skills will be put to use during L2 studios, and will be discussed in their relevance to the professional practice that designers, architects and urban planners engage in.

Getting to know the concepts of drafting the plan and sections of a place, here is a drafted plan of my own home for the ease of understanding.

The section and elevation from the previous plan, mentioning the levels/heights of the space.

Making a cube model from Reed sticks and joining them with threads and pins.

To have a successful model, it was supposed to withstand at least 20 kilos. Here the process of testing the model is shown.

Here traced wall sections are showcased with the labelling of their elements and materials.

This is wall section of one of the walls of my home with the labelling of the materials and elements and well as a scale.

This was the final exercise, that’s is designing a house for a yogi living in jaisalmer. This sheet consists of the site contour model and the site analysis of the same.

This is the final representation sheet, having the plan, rendered sections, sketchup model views and a description of the architectural concepts used for this house.

This is also a final representation but of the sketching exercise, portraying a jungle scene inside the carved 3D isometric shapes, with different human activities.

These are the previous steps of the final representation.
