Diagramming Architectural Principals
We were required to study the building and understand the design principles and elements that the architect wanted to convey. We had to then do our orthographic drawings for this building and diagrams to present them.
We chose Tropical Atrium by Studio Saxe for our first assignment to analyse the design principles and elements they were trying to convey. We then needed to come up with our own diagrams and models to represent them. Other than that, we needed to provide orthographic drawings for our buildings and the other necessary drawings needed for this assignment.

Overall, this assignment was a good starting assignment for the semester to get us to better understand the design principles and elements. By reversing the design process, we learnt to better understand how the principles and elements were conveyed and how we could better understand each of them. I think for our group, we did not a bad job for the first assignment in semester 2.
