REFLECTION
Reflecting on the Design Communication module, I have to say that it provided a well-rounded learning experience. It incorporates basic tutorials, varied assignments and collaborative sessions to give us a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Through this module I have learnt a lot of skills and techniques for me to use in the field of architecture which include line weights, tonal values, colouring mediums, orthogonal scale drawings, composition and more. The module also allowed me to be creative and develop my own personal style in terms of lettering and colouring methods.
This experiential learning was enhanced by the interactive content of the module, including guest lectures and workshops. Interaction with industry professionals and exploration of innovative techniques opened our eyes to the transformative potential of effective design communication. Our tutors also gave frequent advice and feedback in class, which allowed me to improve my project significantly.
Overall this module was a dynamic blend of theoretical knowledge, practical application and collaborative exploration. It honed my drawing and colouring skills while developing my creativity, critical thinking and collaborative spirit. In my future endeavours, I will remain deeply grateful for this enriching experience, which has equipped me with the skills, insight and self-confidence to excel in architectural and design communication.
PERSPECTIVE
In this module, I would like to thank the coordinator of the module, Dr Lia, who made the class interesting by having small activities in each lesson. I learnt a lot about architecture through her lectures. I would also like to thank my tutor, Ms Lok Mei, for her insightful feedback on the tutorials, which helped me to refine my drawing skills and grasp the nuances of architecture. In addition to her expertise, her approach fostered collaboration and a supportive studio environment. Their patience, constructive feedback, and genuine interest in my growth greatly influenced my learning experience. Overall, the mentors' guidance was very important and instilled skills and resilience in my learning journey.
