                              TERM 2: INTRODUCTION


     Welcome back to Maniscosmos. Term two has begun and this will be my first official blog of the term. In my first term at DMUIC, I developed my digital skills in website creation and my ability to record information on my blogs through reflection and recording facts. In other classes besides digital arts, I developed my drawing and artistic skills. However, the first term was a tussle for me. This is because I was still adjusting and adapting to the tertiary system of education. I struggled with my time management, and ability to multitask and complete assignments on time. Thankfully, towards the end of the term I was able to get a hold of everything and I passed all my modules

 For this coming term, I will see to it that the mistakes I made last term will not be repeated and I will strive to be more hardworking in all endeavors. Self-study was one major aspect I wasn't good with during my first term. In this new term, I will put in all my effort to make sure I, develop projects and assignments that were given to me in class to make sure I reach my full potential and achieve laudable marks.

During the Christmas break, I took a field trip and was able to photograph buildings and structures in London that caught my eye due to their unique architectural outlook.

                                                  FLOOR PLAN Initially, I used a smart draw for my floor plans. However, I experienced technical challenges and the floor plans I made were lost. To improvise I used a different Architecture software named ArcSite in doing this.  caption began by drawing the main features according to the scale I used throughout my project which is 1m:50 cm I then began to add in the various rooms. Some of these rooms are the guest lounge room, the enquiry office as well and the reception area not forgetting the male and female urinals which are all on the ground floor.       ,Next I applied the same method to draw the first floor floor plan. Unlike the ground floor, the first floor has exhibition spaces which are both physical and virtual exhibitions.                 ...

4 BLOCKS CONCEPT WITH SKETCHUP

-

  SKETCHUP DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS Sketchup is no stranger to me as I began using it during the Digital Art module in November 2023.  Because my sketches and outcomes were mostly based on block A, I wanted to also show  how the three other blocks would fit into the plan.  I began by laying out the land on which the buildings would be built. Afterwards, I used the rectangle tool to draw each of the four blocks. This was followed by me expanding them from a 2d plane to create a 3-dimensional shape.                              I applied the same process here till I had built all the floors required Bear in mind that Block A has 6 floors in total whilst the other 3 have 5. After completing the main shapes I then began to add colours and put in the glass windows using the tool tray. This was not difficult as I already know the basics of sketch up. I repeated the same process for the other blocks til...
