Project 2: Farnsworth House
The Farnsworth House was designed and constructed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe between 1945 and 1951.
He created buildings with free and open space within a minimal framework, using expressed structural columns. He did not believe in the use of architecture for social engineering of human behavior, as many other modernists did, but his architecture does represent ideals and aspirations. His mature design work is a physical expression of his understanding of the modern epoch.
Project Components
Individually, students are going to produce 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings using orthographic projections in three phases manually and continuously. The purpose is to explore manual projection methods in architectural drawing emphasizing on architectural conventions, symbols and line quality. Besides, students will also explore office method projection and demonstrate the technical knowledge and use them as pictorial drawing in developing design concepts and generate solution to a design problem.
● Orthographic Projections (Plan, Elevation and Sections)
● Axonometric Projections
● One-Point and Two-Point Perspective Projections
Reflection
Throughout this project, I've learned how to visualise and articulate space in the form of manual sketching to illustrate architectural forms and places. This project also taught me how to use two-dimensional and three-dimensional orthographic drawings to analyse visual information.
