Strength and Weakness of your schemes in EX.2

Anya Courtney
S. The interlock of the massing is quite interesting.
W. Lack of details in model, and lack of shadow cast on model in the renderings.

Ben Ricketts
S. The integration of model and landscape. Landscape design.
W. Hand drawing skill, and lack of details in model.

Caitlin Henningsen
S. Effort in producing axonometric drawings
W. Submission not exactly to requirement.

Devon Rees
S. Architecture quality in the model is great.
W. Hand drawing skill.

Hyun Min Park
S. Richness in architecture spaces.
w. Landscape needs to be further development.

James (Wei)Liu
S. Landscape design
W. Graphic layout for axonometric drawings is overdone

James Imperial
S. Consistence and clarity in design process. Nice graphic.
W. Lack of shadow cast on model

Jeremy Hartono
S. Elegant architecture composition
W. Red artificial lighting has diminished the space quality.

Jing Liu
S. Rich architecture space. Nice texture and axonometric drawings.
W. Stair/landing in the model does not work properly. View of perspectives need to be more selective.

Julie Lien
S. Internal space quality.
W. Lack of external view of the model. Hand drawing skill.

Kevin Suganda
S. Nice rendering in model alone.
W. Lack of space and spatial connection in the massing.

Nicholas Fiddis
S. Integration of architecture and landscape.
W. Textures on model are overdone. Lack of details in model.

Rebekah Araullo
S. Consistence and clarity of design process. Virtuosity in building the environment in C.W.
W. There is no image revealing the whole model with the landscape.

Sher Rin Loh
S. Creativeness in texture design.
W. Lack of details in model.

Shou Gu
S.Textures and axonometric drawings are done properly.
W. Lack of variety in viewing the model. Simply architectural solution.

Tianlu Jiang
S. Creative relationship between model and landform.
W. texture are overdone on the model.

Wade Cogle
S. Rich space experience with proper architectural details. Nice textures.
W. The duplication of model seems overdone.

Yunqing Zheng
S. The connection of model and landform is creative.
W. Hand drawing skill. Lack of details in the model.

Zahra Dargahi
S. Complexity in architecture. Nice graphic.
W. Textures on the model are overdone. Landform is too simple.

Strength and Weakness of your schemes in EX.1

Sher Rin Loh
S. Nice texture and its application in architecture
W. There’s no indication of the relation between upper and lower spaces.

Hyun-Min Park
S. Coherence between section sketch and architecture development.
W. Simplicity of architecture design

Wade Cogle
S. Clarity and consistence in each design stage. Creativeness in stairs and texture design.
W. Submission has to be in accordance with the requirement

Ben Ricketts
S. Potential architecture quality indicated in section sketch and early model.
W. Inconsistence in the design process. Simplicity of final architecture design.

Kevin Suganda
S. Cultural motif embodied in texture and section sketches.
W. Disconnection between stairs and building. Underground space needs to be further developed


Jing Liu
S. Nice texture design
W. Disconnection between section sketch and final model. The final architecture design seems too domestic.

Julie Lien
S. Clare indication of the up- and underground spaces in section. Stair design
W. Simple solution in architecture

Yunqing Zheng
S. Stair design and its integration with the building in your draft model.
W. Inconsistence from section sketch to final architecture.

Rebekah Araullo
S. Creativeness in stair design. Skill in organizing different geometries.
W. The relation between up- and underground spaces needs to be shown in section. Lack of coherence between section sketch and architecture development.

Tianlu Jiang
S. Creativeness in stair design.
W. underground space needs further consideration, and the connection between up- and underground spaces is weak.

James Liu
S. Coherence between section sketch and architecture design. Richness in the up-ground space.
W. Internal spaces need to be indicated in a section.

Harry Ingham
S. attempt in making three layers of spaces (upper in-between, below)
W. Architecture design needs to be clearly represented. Drawing skill needs to be improved.

Devon Rees
S. Creativeness in stair design.
W. underground space needs further consideration, and the connection between up- and underground spaces is weak.

Anya Courtney
S. consistence from conceptual sketch to architecture development
W. lack of details and refinement

Nicholas Fiddis
S. consistence from conceptual sketch to architecture development
W. Lack of 3 dimensional exploration in the translation from section to architecture. Underground space needs further consideration.

Zahra Dargahi
S. Nice hand drawings
W. Underground space needs further consideration.

Shuo Gu
S. Provide three options.
W. Up- and underground spaces need a demarcation. Simple and ‘domestic’ architecture solution.

Jeremy Hartono
S. good rendering skill
W. Underground space needs further consideration.

James Imperial
S. Complexity and richness in architecture design
W. The relation between up- and underground spaces needs to be shown in section image. Lack of coherence between section sketch and architecture development.

Sketchup Tutorial Sessions

Hi All,

This Friday Vinh and Jules will be in Labs 1 and 2 from 6-8pm to help out all interested ARCH1101 students, so if you are struggling with SketchUp feel free to attend. The session is for those who are struggling rather than an advanced session.

Cheers

Group work

Hi All,

Thanks for those who have shared your knowledge of Sketchup with the class yesterday! Here is a snapshot of the model you guys created. it seems a fabulous piece of architecture.
