We, designer use drawings to describe our design. Fabricators refer to the drawing for fabricating buildings and/or furnitures. In that sense, these drawings are important in communicating with your collaborators.
General drawings, in this case typically architectural plan and section drawings describe a sectional image of your design subject. In architectural field, almost all buildings are framed by vertical column and horizontal beam and slab therefore there is no strong argument in such drawing format.
On the other hand, there are new buildings which has a complicated configuration, such as three dimentional curved surface. I believe al of you can remember the previous winning work for Main stadium for Tokyo Olympic game design by Zaha Hadid. You can imagine that ordinary architectural drawings can hardly describe such building's design essence. You are unable to measure total square meter of its exterior building.
Thus the ordinary drawing format is limited in solid geometry for describing its essence. And I believe the challenge limits designer's creativity.
This class gives you an opportunity for you to,
1. understand the mechanism and challenges existing drawing method has.
2. utilize these drawing method for three dimensional design.
3. develop the ability for three dimensional way of design thinking.
With these points, this class gives you an opportunity for you to acquire a skill to describe a unique design.
