WEEK 1&2: MULTIVIEW DRAWING
Floor Plan

Roof plan
The first thing we had to do is find the favourite building and this is located in Daly City near my house. Since it is near my house, I could go around easily whenever I needed some information or views from this building. Strength By doing this project, I can really understand the shape of a house and know clearly where is the door, window, and so on, from these various multiview drawings. Weakness Even it gives us a clear image of a house, I had got a trouble while I was estimating the scale of the whole house. Opportunities May be in the future, I should emphasize on the line weights to show the actual thickness of the house.

WEEK 3: TINY HOUSE ¼”=1’ PLAN+FULL SCALE

PLAN + SECTION
This is the assignment which we had to do in group. We designed our own tiny house and tapped it on ground outside our class.
Taping
Strength After tapping on the ground, we can see how tiny it is which we could not feel that way before we did it. Weakness Since we changed the size of the bathroom and kitchen larger than the first one, it is so narrow for the living room which is the middle area in the floor plan.
Opportunities May be we could adjust the size of the kitchen, living room and bathroom. Risks Since there is no partition wall for this house, we do not have privacy.

After knowing the basic method of array tools, here is the lesson for different kind of shapes to practice by using the tools. Strength With the help of the software, it saves a lot of time in doing this kind of design. Weakness Even though it saved some time, it’s a little bit hard and I did not know exactly how to use the components and grouping at that
Opportunities There is an opportunity to add more details for this structure by using the tool. Risks As a beginner of using this software, it would be so difficult and confusing for the first time. 11

This big project is the individual tiny house project which can be different from the group one. Strength The most common problem that designing a tiny house is the size because it’s normally tiny. For my tiny house, I expand the space that makes the house become bigger. I also have partitions for each room so that we have privacy. Weakness The bookshelf and ladder are close together. There is some difficulty for functioning between them. ladder
Opportunities In future, we should consider the situation of emergency since there is no enough door to go outside. Risks If we add more doors, more space is required for tiny house. It sometimes does not happen because we do not have enough space.
