DESIGN COMMUNICATION
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. These skills are taught through a series of freehand and constructed drawings held both outdoors and in the studio.
Teaching Objectives
1. To introduce design communication skills through architectural graphics and modeling.
2. To develop skills in visualization and communication of architectural idea, space and form.

My artwork is a visual representation of my life at the moment, a dragon constantly flying and trying to find his call in this monotonous world. The dragon represents my ferocity in a state of adversity and my willpower to get through life’s seemingly endless challenges. The crisp solid lines of this artwork represent my attention to the small details in life whereas the clouds engulfing the main subject, the Dragon, represents the things in life that constantly surrounds me such as the things that come and go in life. The way the dragon is oriented in this composition is in the infinity symbol, which represents my constant state of self-improvement and betterment. The intimidatingly large claws of my dragon represent my ever-ready nature to react at any moment. The pièce de resistance of my artwork, the golden shimmering moon is meant to keep me grounded and serves as a symbolic meaning to make me always remember my roots and where I came from.

Reflection
I have definitely learned a lot from this module, it opened my mind to what Architecture is truly about. It thought me a lot about design . The projects given were challenging yet exciting to do, it really improved the quality of production of my work by introducing me to a whole new set of skills in architecture.
​
it was certainly difficult to transition to this new way of learning through online such as facebook , teams, zoom and other platforms. although it was challenging at first, once i got the hang of it, it drastically changed and became smoother to work with by the day.
I would like to thank all the lecturers that have taught me this semester for sharing with me their vast knowledge, wisdom and guiding me all throughout this module. They were very kind and informative and always kept us up to date with the latest information on our assignments.
