Communications Reflection

Communications Reflection

Architectural Communications has definitely benefited me in many ways, mostly because of the vast amount of skills that we learn and encounter throughout the three workshops that we participate in. I appreciated greatly the fact that we were given the opportunity and flexibility of being able to choose from different workshops the ones that we wanted to participate in. I guess this allowed us to not only be fixed in learning a single way of comunications but three different approaches. I was fortunate enought to have picked the three that I wanted to do, they were:

1. Material Modelling
2. Architectural Drawings
3. Fluid Thoughts to Actions
By doing these three workshops, I have definitely learned vast amounts of new things that are related to each topic. In particular, I found very interesting how communicating through 3D models can give viewers that extra bit of understanding of spatiallity of a building and what the final product of the design would really look like compared to flat 2D drawings. I essentially payed extra attention as to the number of different ways that 2D architectural drawings can be done to portray different takes on a building, and that the use of charcoal as a drawing median can produce very difinitive tones of black and white and the fluidity of the outcomes.
I do believe that this course is very beneficial not only for first year architectural students, but it helps to build better skills in communicating for effective architectually or for sole presentation purposes.
