The Monsoon semester focuses on equipping students with various techniques to visualise, draw and represent. The students also start to engage with existing buildings to identify various building elements, basic construction materials and methods. They practise and work intensively to perfect their freehand drawing and perspective drawing, to visualize and draw complex compositions. They also learn to make technical drawings using orthographic projections, surface development and the exploded view of a complex object. A series of exercises in sketching will enable the students to sketch freely in order to observe, document, imagine and improvise.The exercise on gauging sizes will develop the habit of estimating sizes using one’s body and through it the students will begin to engage with the concept of anthropometrics. Through the exercise on building elements and materials the students will start to engage with existing buildings to decipher their building elements and materials and understand the sequence of construction. In the last exercise the students will go through the process of documenting an existing building and making a set of architectural drawings.

These are a few subtractions which were done in Freehand drawing.

This drawing depicts the matchbox composition which is on the right in the form of different views using the method of drafting.

The subtracted cube and hinged truncation of a hexagon were also a part of technical drawing. The models are on the top followed by their surface development on the bottom.

This image shows the drawing of a gauged and measured urban street. On the right are images of the urban street which I have chosen.

The sectional drawing depicts a cross-section of my apartment followed by the images of the 3D model which was constructed using different materials.

The graphic reflects the work of Robert Venturi and his collage is in between the graphic and mood board which depicts the word 'Serious'.

These assemblages were coloured in Sketchbook app. The first image has Triad Complementary colour scheme and the rest two on the right have Analogous and primary colour schemes, respectively.

These are a few sketched in which I experimented with different mediums and styles.

The two colourful sketches are a part of imaginative exercises of S1 and the image on the bottom right corner is a live sketch.

This slide includes my software skills acquired in T1 and on the top right corner there is one sheet of Autocad from S3.
