Term Reflection

-
Image
 This term was a fruitful experience, I was able to develop many of my skills and add a few of them. The first one was AutoCAD, I think I reached a good introduction to how to use it and how to implement it in my future DMU projects, I learned how to use the laser cutting machines and workshop. scaling, drawing, etc. I think the 3d physical outcome was a successful piece. All thanks to this software. Throughout the year, I also developed my SketchUp skills, and I think I have a good foundation on it and can sort myself out, However, I do not see it as professional software. Consequently, I will move on to other types of software, but it never hurts to learn a wide range of tools. Another skill that I developed this year is Architectural drawing, I think I can conceptualize things better now in my mind and I can communicate it through my drawings at a fairly understandable level. Moreover, I feel more comfortable with a pen and hesitate much less. Thirdly, I think I developed a broader

Website updates

  Firstly, I added a new page linked to the Portfolio. I think removed this banner that said welcome to my site. Then I modified my introduction and included what I learnt this year and how it would help in my continuation route. I then uploaded all of the design boards that I talked about in the last post Then I created a now gallery and positioned it in the centre of the page. Then I added the text "Design Boards". Then I added a video of my 3d outcome and a link to a 3d manageable model prototype that I made using a scanning process. I then added all the design boards. Then I changed the background in to something more related to this term.

Designboards: process and outcome

-
Image
For this process, I used the software photoshop. I first brought one of my ketchup outcomes and removed its background then I changed the opacity and increased the exposure, and then I added my name, year, Title of project, and course module name. I then moved on to the rest of the design boards, I wanted to do a white background at first but I thought it would be too simple.  Then I found a background on Unsplash that I copied and pasted and added my logo to it. Then I imported my concept drawings and introduced the project, then I contoured the pictures. Then I kept importing each picture by itself for the 2d and repeated this step many times. for the site plan, I did the same steps as before. Overall I think this process was quite easy, I think I learned the basics of Photoshop as a software. Outcomes:

2d outcomes and process

-
Image
 For this process, I used my 3d Sketchup model and rendered the model that I had talked about before to a pen sketch, I found a neat and sharp-looking one then applied it and took some screenshots. Here are the results: North elevation. South elevation. West elevation. North-West 3d perspective drawing.  AA Section. AA section with perspective. Another one with perspective. South-west elevation Overall I think this process was successful, and the outcomes are to my satisfaction, although I haven't used colors I will include them in my design boards from the SketchUp model that I made. Another point is that I know those aren't actually Sections and elevations, however, I specifically used them to communicate my design in a more understandable way,.

Research Post N*7: Materials and sustainability

-
Image
In this post, I will discuss the different materials and justify their sustainability. Toughened glass: Ordinary float glass that has undergone a treatment to increase its resistance to damage is known as toughened safety glass. This makes it far more difficult for an accident or force to shatter than regular glass panes. Because of its robustness and safety, toughened glass is employed in many different applications. #1 Toughened Glass Manufacturers & Suppliers UK (2021) I am using this material mainly for safety reasons, since when it shatters, it breaks into small safe pieces, secondly, it is durable which is in the context of sustainability as well as environmental concerns such as pollution. Another point is that it is resistant to heat and all weather conditions. Anon (2020) recycled concrete: Since recycled concrete has the same qualities as regular concrete but produces less pollution due to CO2 emissions during manufacture, I utilised it instead. To produce recyclable mate
