Free Hand Drawing
The exercise of freehand drawing increased the consistency
and drawing ability through practice. This practice undergone
during the exercise increased the muscle memory of drawing
lines, shapes and forms without any use of tools. The
restriction on the usage of tools in the process augmented
the process of figuring out the geometry through an idea
of approximation of length and angles. For increasing
the understanding of forms, While drawing forms as thin
wireframes it helped to build the understanding on how the
frame joints are constructed to look like a definite form.
Drawing of assemblages of subtracted forms developed
an art of thinking of what the form would look like when
undergone such changes and shows the possibilities of
subtraction of forms, when explored trying various methods.

Learning Outcomes
1. Free hand drawing techinques.
2. Rendering techniques using pens and pencils.
3. Constructed subtraction of solids.
4. Visualisation of three dimensional spaces through grid.
Perspective Drawing
Techniques of perspective drawing are practiced and
familiarised through drawing various three dimensional
forms in different perspective views. Assemblages are made
in both one point and two point perspectives to visualize
three dimensional spaces in perspective. Technical drafting
of three dimensional model is achieved through projections.
Tracing and changing vanishing points of images in
perspective, increased practice of perspective drawing.

Learning Outcomes
1. Techniques and practice of one point perspective.
2. Techniques and practice of two point perspective.
3. Visualisation of spaces and forms in perspectives.
4. Projection technique in perspective.
Technical Drawing
A part of Lilvati Lalbhai library is chosen and
dimensioned drawings of the plans, sections,
elevations and wallsections are made with all the
values measured from the site. Then, systematic
drafted drawings are made on a scale of 1:100 (in Plan at ground floor of Lilavati Lalbhai library,
cms). These technical drawings are fitted with CEPT University.
dimensions of all the edges and standard material

line intensities are used to give a sense of depth.

Learning Outcomes
1. Technical drafting.
2. Making dummy drawings from measured drawings.
3. Understanding and implementation of the language
of plans, sections and elevations.
4. Drafting representational drawings.

Model Making

Making models of basic forms through the concept of

surface development developed the practice of precise
drafting. It gave a practice of making different types
of cuts and gave an experience of working with glue.

Making a model of Hathi Gaon, Jaipur at a scale of 1:100

gave a practice and process of making architectural
models. It developed an art of working and choosing
various materials to resemble original site. Finally,
it gave a constructive attitude of working in groups.

Learning Outcomes
1. Making precise models through surface development.
2. Making cuts and half cuts.
3. Mass production.
4. Use of glue.
5. Choosing appropriate materials for resemblance of the
model Images of the final model of Hathi Gaon, Jaipur at a scale of 1:100. The views show the details of
the model from different angles.

` Joining Elements
An attempt of exploration and use of machinery to work
on wood and metal and their joineries. A structurally
stable model which fits in an imaginary 30cm x 30cm x
30cm dimensoned cube is built using definite quantities
of wood, metal rods, metal sheets and hardware.
Capacities of materials and strength of the joineries are
explored. Familiarization of workshop tools and safety
measures were icluded in the advantages of the exercise.

4. Combination of different materials.

Photographs of the model at different stages before the final

outcome. The photographs include final model, japanese wooden
joinery, diagonal joinery, punching, bending metal sheets and
joining metal sheets through rivets.
Structures
A cantilever structural member made of reed sticks is made
with specified dimensions that can bear a point load in a
range of 8-10 kgs at the cantilevered end. With various
joineries and orientations, the shape and triangulation
techniques are thought considering various factors like
stability, rigidity, and elasticity of the structure to bear the
load. The triangulation of the structure is made keeping in
mind the kind of forces it might experience. The triangulation
is designed according to the equations of statistical
determinancy (moment diagrams and equilibrium equations
are worked upon assuming the required weight to withstand).
The model was tested with bricks, where it withstood the
weight of 4 bricks (each brick weighs 3kgs) ,after which it
collapsed due to restraint force offered by the wooden stand. The photograph of the final The photograph of the final

Deconstructing Bicycle
Saddle
The exploded view of parts of the bicycle saddle is drawn
with it’s parts systematized on the layout, with directive lines
showing the joineries and affixments of the parts giving
a dynamic perceptible vision of parts getting together to
constitute the saddle, the drawing schematically explains
the order of assembly of parts. The isometric view in the
drawing helps the viewer in imagining the assembly of parts
in an orderly way. The drawing necessarily communicates
the design, material and working parts of the saddle hiding
all the unnecessary and symmetric repetitive details.

Varanasi is known of its religious heritage both in culture and architecture. The architecture
of its narrow streets got evolved in time due to many reasons. The buildings under this
study are categorised under old, renovated and new structures considering the extent of
alteration made to the old heritage structures. Buildings are located in the map and their
evolution is explained through influence of various factors like advancement of technology,
people adapting to modern living and their need of luxury.
Deciphering Styles

Understanding character and style of a door by exploring

hidden geometry through basic shapes and proportions;
selectively choosing objects which match the character
of the door helped in making sensible connections
and the extent to which the character of an object can
be exploited in order to retain the identity is learned.

Studying Mr. Freddie Bulsara Mercury through mindmaps

helped in understanding a character, their preferences and
their style and manner of life. Making collages and designing
a poster helped in implementation and developing the ability
of choosing between various options for a personality.

Photography

Photography is bold expression which gives a hard hitting

impact on the viewer’s emotions within no time. Presentational
photographs portrays the integrity and crispness of the work.
Sketching

Sketching helps in getting a clarity during the

process of visualisation. It is also a decent and quick
possible way to convey thoughts, ideas and designs.

Imaginative drawing which conveys a

narrative where the building is destroyed and
ruined with time.
