DESIGN COMMUNICATION
Overall the semester went on quite well. The lectures were understandable and proved to be effective. The tutors were also very helpful and attended to our needs when needed. Projects were manageable and overall required the use of what we learned during the tutorials. Though the online classes were effective, I believe that there are still some things that maybe would be better understood face to face.
Project 1: Movie Poster
The project aimed to develop freehand drawing skills, architectural lettering and coloring. It felt more of an icebreaker as it gave the opportunity to be creative and just enjoy drawing and designing.

Project 2: Farnsworth House
This project required the drawing of the famous Farnsworth house in Illinois, USA. Separated in 3 parts, we had to construct orthographic drawings, axonometric and perspective drawings of the house. It was an interesting project and overall I had fun doing it.

Project 3: Presentation Board
The last project of the semester was a presentation board based on the project 3 of Architectural Design I. The board consists of 2 elevations, the floor plan, a section and the axonometric drawing of the model.
