ASSIGNMENT 2
ASSIGNMENT BRIEF
In this assignment, students will be given a specific space in campus. Students will form a group of 6 and they have to visit and measure the space. After measuring the space, students has to convert the measurements to scaled drawing with appropriate drawing conventions. Students should capture 500mm of the continuation space. There will be 5 drawings in total, which is floor plan, 2 elevations, section drawing, and detail drawing. Title block should be included in every drawing as well.
PROGRESS
My group and I schedule and discuss the date and time we visit the space given.
I then started to sketch the floor plan however it is not tally with the measurements. My group and I decided to arrange another visit to campus to remeasure the space.
After visiting campus to remeasure for a few times, we finally get all of the measurements correct and are able to draw all of the drawings.
REFLECTION
I learned a lot of things from this assignment. First of all, group members really matter, there are actually a few freeloaders in the group. This issue really increases our burden and some of us already tried helping as much as possible but the freeloader still did not show up. They did not attend the tutorials or respond to our group message. Secondly, I also have a better understanding of drawing conventions. I have learned how to draw the symbols and also representations like the symbols of brick walls and windows etc. The scale calculation is very confusing for me sometimes, but I gradually become more familiar with it and finally get to produce all the drawings and submit them on time. Despite all of this, I am happy to have the opportunity to visit the campus and meet my "online friends" in real life, it really is an unprecedented experience in my life.
