● Complete at least 2-3 ideas sheets using the 3D sketching techniques we have used so far. See resources here. Perhaps watch a range of the videas or revisit the presentation with examples of ideas sheets
○ Examples of architects ideas sketches○ Architect sketching video 1○ Architect sketchin video 2○ Sketching like an architect○ The sketches of Frank Gehry

Your portfolio can be formatted in one of the following three ways....a. A series of A3 sheets of paper each with cut and pasted
sections of text, some drawings and photographs.b. Each sheet can be formatted ‘in screen’ using one of a range
of softwares and all drawings, photographs can be inserted as jpegs or photoshop files.
c. A combination of both A and B according to the purpose of each sheet.
Look at the range of styles and approaches from Thomas Chow Architects as they design the new Island School.

● It is very important to put headings on each sheet so that it ‘signposts’ to others what the purpose of the sheet is. Even better if you can add a short introduction to each sheet which explains what you are setting out to achieve on this page. This very much helps to provide a commentary through your design process.
● be very aware of what the purpose and audience is for each design sheet. Ask yourself whether you are designing or presenting your finished design.

● You can get on with any of the portfolio subsections you want today. here is a list of the kinds of things you could be tackling today. Remember to chunk your time up so that you work with focus and yet have a variety of experiences today.
○ Complete your design specification under the headings for the design portfolio. make sure your specification is detailed without it describing a particular design.
○ Continue to sketch the early ideas for your design.○ Make early, quick models our of card and other intermediate materials.○ Continue with your case study ensuring that you explain how you will use what
you find out in the design of your own building.○ Use Google Sketch to model one of your initial ideas (see next stage)○ Use floorplanner to start to plan and communicate the layout of at least one
floor in your building.● Must do!!!
○ Record how much time you spend on each task during the whole 3 lessons and record this on your blog

Using Google Sketch-up
Sketch-up is such a useful free software for modelling architectural ideas.
I would really recommend that you have a look at these tutorials and teach yourself how to use it. Some of the best sheets in previous projects have been a series of screenshots from this software.

Using ‘Floorplanner’
‘Floorplanner’ is such a useful free software for planning and communicating floor plan ideas. Please produce by hand or by using this software a detailed plan of at least one floor of your building.
