Day05 - Drawing exercises

Still on the design process, students are asked to visit the site again for more understanding of the concept of the project. To achieve this, they are given drawing assignments to visualize what they want to do.

First, they need to have a look of the site and see it with fresh eyes by trying to find for a lot of things and wait for it to talk to them.

After that the participants shared their discoveries and sketches.

Second is a unique drawing experience. Participants are asked not to think as an architect but either as a musician or poet. To look for forms and feel the rhythm. To think of music and words. to let their imagination talk to them. They are encouraged not to limit their drawings from what they learn as an architect but to open their creativity to a broader expand and range.
