                              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.





VICTORIA PLACE SHOPPING CENTRE IN LONDON
This building is one of the shopping centres out of many that London residents purchase items from. 
The exterior has a mix of both ultramodern Architecture and Georgian Architecture. The building has a rectangular shape with many glass window. 






         This is the Parliament View Apartment high-rise building in London. This building is also made out of glass however, it has an organic shape with curved features.

FLOOR PLAN WITH ARCSITE

                                                  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...

FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR WITH ARCSITE

 CREATION OF FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR This post is a follow-up to the previous Arc site blog. In that blog I explained how I designed the ground floor. In this post, I will describe and analyse the process involved in my, designed the first and second floors of residences in block A.  , First of all I began by drawing the required dimensions for both the first and second floor. In the picture above it is labelled 3rd floor which is a mistake. For the first and second floor I used the same processes so I did them simultaneously. The dimensions for the second floor is 22 metres by 20 metres and for the first floor 26 metres by 20 metres. For the first floor, after marking out the dimensions with the onscreen pencil I used the wall tool to mark out the required walls. On the first floor there are two 4 bedroom apartments. One on the left and one on the right with the space in the middle being the hallway which includes the staircase and elevator  The image above is that of the...
