The module introduces fundamental skills for the appropriate communication of architectural design. It engages different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings to prepare students with the skills required in design projects.

ASSIGNMENTS

Various small assignments are present in this module. These assignments focuses on very basic artistic techniques and expression. From lettering to sketching to colouring, these assignments serve as practice to students who are unfamiliar with art and design.

REFLECTION

From these assignments, I learned the basics of art and design. As I did not have prior knowledge on these topics, these assignments served as the stepping stone for improving my artistic skills. I believe these basics will be the core of future projects and assignments. I plan to keep on improving and practicing these techniques for my own benefit.

CONCLUSION

Design Communication

Design communication was the most challenging module for me. This is because I had no prior knowledge or experience in artistic design and drawing. I had to learn the basics while doing project and assignments. Nevertheless, I am grateful for this module for teaching me different design and art techniques that will be valuable in the future. Early projects and assignments allowed me to explore my creativity and choose my own topic. Near the end, the projects and assignments focused more on architectural drawings and techniques instead.

​

Although the module was conducted online, the tutors have been a great help in giving advice to the students. My tutor was kind and is willing to help whoever in need of assistance. Though, there were a few technical issues here and there. I was able to gain important feedback and important updates from lecturers through Microsoft Teams and Facebook.
