Narrative: This’s my favourite building in San Francisco. It’s a nice house located at the corner of University Ave and Bacon St. It’s also my first homework.
Multiview drawing of favourite building.
Front of the house 5
Left of the house
Weaknesses: What I think most difficult is make the same scale of each view.
Strengths: Drawing the multiview helped me understand how highly regular geometry can increase structural strength.
⅛”=1’ scale 6
Plans and section that I imagined of my favourite building.
⅛”=1’ scale
Opportunities: I think I would draw much better and easier in the future. And give more exactly scale and more details as possible as I could.

Group tiny house plan Narrative: Our tiny house is a 15 ft length by 10 ft wide and 13 ft height wood house. It includes 1 and half floors.
⅛”=1’ scale
Section of our group sketch 8
Plans of our group sketch
This is the sketch we discussed before.
Weakness: When we build the huge living room, we found that would make our bedroom small. Plans we taped
Full scale
Section we taped
Strengths: We have a small glass porch outside the house for someone changing the shoes. There’s a 13 ft height ceiling when the guests enter the house. 9
Array Tools ------ 3D Cube exercise Strengths: It’s so convenient to build and change a mount of same objects in the same time.
PERSPECTIVE
Weakness: It’s difficult to make some difference between some of them. And if I make group for them, when I want to select any part of them, it would automatically select all the group for me. AXON 10

TOP VIEW OF SOME PATTERNS Strengths: It’s easy to make different kinds of shapes, and it’s useful when you are making a floor.
Weakness: When I was creating the patterns, it’s easy to make a mistake that make it double. We need to pay attention of double sides. PERSPECTIVE FROM ONE POINT 15

Tiny house sketchup project

Narrative: Here’s my earliest sketch and plans that based on our group’s opinion.
Strengths: There’s total over 240 ft^2 in my tiny house. It has six windows on each wall and the roof, and two see-through glass door in the east and the south. It can solve the problems that too narrow and lightness. 18
3/8”=1’ scale
NORTH EAST ELEVATION
Weakness: there’s not so much storage space in the bedroom. Like the wardrobe, or it ‘s not enough space to put a desk.
Risk: I have tried to change the roof of the house like a normal house, but it is less useful than the original design. Finally, I keep the original design.

Opportunities: If I build it in the future, I think I will make one more door to the backyard. And there will be a garage for a car.
