DESIGN COMMUNICATION
Design communication has prepared me for design projects with different skills from architectural lettering to using different colouring media and lastly making models and producing a set of orthographic projections. At the end of the module, I am able to develop skills in visualisation and expression of architectural idea, space and form.
It is quite challenging having classes fully online, but the clear instructions given by Dr Illia on various platform (TiMes, Teams, Telegram & Facebook) along with the lectures and examples given clarify my doubts. With the help of Dr Illia in tutorial classes, I manage to do my best in every exercises and projects.
