DESIGN COMMUNICATION
The module introduces fundamental skills for the appropriate communication of architectural design. It engages different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings to prepare students with the skills required in design projects.
These skills are taught through a series of freehand and constructed drawing held both outdoors and in the studio

TUTORIALS
SELF-REFLECTION
LECTURES
The lectures and in-class activities allowed me to fully understand what was being comprehended the particular week.
ONLINE LEARNING
Although online learning was taxing for me because I learn better in physical classes, the lecturers were great in making sure we understand the hands-on skills we were executing.
TUTOR AND MODULE COORDINATOR
Dr. Filzani Illia consistently provided us with clear communication during project briefs. As my tutor as well, she gave us an extensive space to execute our projects, and would constantly reply to my messages as soon as she could. I appreciate her teaching method greatly and I would love to see her again in my future classes.
ASSESSMENTS ANDÂ PROJECTS
The assignments given taught me plenty on basic drawing skills, especially in executing the orthographic drawings for my studio projects. All in all, I truly enjoyed learning in this class.
