Week 1: Dog House – Learning the basics of SketchUp
1. From this class, I use the skectchup first time to create projects. Beginning the class, the professor introduced for us what kinds of tools we use and how we use, such as the line, the eraser, the rectangle, the push/pull and the pan. 2. After the professor introduced, I used the basic tools to create the first project. 3. At the first class, I was interesting in using sketchup to design my project and really enjoy the class that the professor taught. 4. But the most challenging part for me is to remember the name of the tools.

Week 2: Dog House – Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of 2 Dog House nd
•
1. After the first class, I learned some information from sketchup. I thought I could use the tools of sketchup easily. In this time, I began to study how to create an component.
•
2. when I made 3 volumes into component, triple clik and made component and label appropriately. Made component is easy to create my model.
•
3. I also learn how to use the follow me tool in sketchup. It was fun and made me interesting because I did not spend more time to draw a stair. I only draw a side of the stair and double clicked the side of the stair and used the follow me to create the whole stair.
3rd circular stair: Perspective View

Week 2: circular stair– Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of Circular Stair • 1. For in time, I started to how to use layers, scale, rotate and shadow for making circular stair. • 2. from learning circular stair, I knew that if I made a component, and used the move tool with “ctrl”copied it and typed numbers with “x” , the component could appear that I type the numbers • 3. I also learned make a shadow with different time.
4th Malevich Inspired construction: Perspective View

Week 3: Malevich Inspired study– Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of Malevich Inspired construction • 1. After I learned the circular stair, I thought I knew deeply about sketchup. • 2. This is the third week for this class, the professor taught us how to import a file and used a template. For this project, I’m very happy and I am interested in designing because I could design what I want. • 3. Another thing that I tried to make 2D model transferred to 3D. This is my first time to do that.
5th Paper airplane flotilla: Perspective View

Week 3: Paper airplane flotilla: Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of Paper airplane flotilla • 1. Before I learned information, I already knew that made component, layers, groups, and use rotate tool and tape measure tool. • 2. For me , the challenge is how to fold and stretch the paper airplane wing. Even I lost when the professor was teaching. • 3. I am ore and more like to use sketchup because it could make 2D and 3D model. It also made me fun.
6th Sandbox terrain study: Perspective View

Week 4: Sandbox terrain study Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of Sandbox terrain study • 1. This class was a little hard for me because many things was new and I never used before. • 2. To use sandbox tool, smoove it was a difficult made a surface up and down. • 3. the second challenge was to use drape make a river on the ground. Before made a river on the ground, I must to make a plan on the sky, and use draw a river on the ground. Finally to use drape.
7th Different ambience of rooms: Perspective View

Week 5: Agenda Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of Interior Studies • 1. This assignment was my first time designed the interior. Before I studied, I learned how to make a sunlight into the room. And made shape of space, and put some color and so on. • 2. From this project, I had to created 4 different theme room through light, color and textures. • 3. This was my first time made window orientation to N, E, S, and W.
8th Geometric shape study: Perspective View

Week 5: Geometric shape study Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of Geometric shape study • 1. I’ve learned sketchup couple weeks already. In this time, I learned Geometric shape. Making different shape I learned new skills that were • 2. I learned how to make intersect faces with two different shape. And I also learned how to hide a flaw on the shape.
Using photo-matching process to create 3D digital models from a photo

Week 6, Using photo-matching process to create 3D digital models from a photo study Learning the basics of SketchUp
Reflection of Using photo-matching process to create 3D digital models from a photo • 1. In this time, I began learning perspective bars, vanishing point grips, scale line/vertical axis and match photo scene tab. • 2. In my opinion, I think that the challenge for me is to make the 3D digital model from the photo. Because I need to measure the line how long or short, where the line come from.
Final project
Different Views of Final Project
Final Project: Orthographic Projections Images clockwise left to right: Roof Plan Front Elev. Left Elev. Rear Elev. Right Elev.
Reflection of Final Project •
1. This is the last class to design in sketchup. In this time, I was required to use what I learned before to create a house.
•
2. In this time, the big challenge was to create a skeleton of the house and measured the height and length and width. I thought that it was a little difficult because I did this first time.
•
3. Before I created the project, I made a draft wrote down what I would create in the inside of the house.
•
4. I had a reason that I created the inside of the house look like my Chinese house, because I miss home.
Dog House: SLO Progress Report SLO 1: Create accurate drawings that communicate simple architectural design intentions. Apply graphic conventions and standards appropriately
After constructing my 3-D model, I can easily produce my standard orthographic projections, isometric view, and oersectives
Relate each drawing within a set to each other to fully describe significant aspects of a design from the general to the specific
Roof plan and exterior elevations describe my dog house as a series of single but related views. Perspectives give a more realistic vision to the lay audience of my design.
Demonstrate a correspondence between the design intentions to be communicated and the graphic representations produced to communicate them Produce drawing that are readable and meaningful to others SLO 2: Analyze the specific intentions communicated by analog and digital modes of graphic communication. Identify the intended message(s) behind the graphic communication, whether produced by analog or digital means
My design intent was to use basic SketchUp tools to create a dog house that is unlike the typical one and accommodate a number of dogs. Intentions were realized.
Assess the integrity of the message(s) – identify the strengths and weaknesses of the represented intentions
At this early point of the course, my messages are simple and straightforward. As is, I’ve successfully envisioned my idea of a dog house and its integrity is without question.
Assess the efficacy of the related graphic representa-tion(s)
Especially with the multiple perspective views along with the roof plan and elevations, the dog house is fully visually communicated to others.
Propose enhancements to what is being graphically communicated
As I learn to use other SketchUp tools and really unleash my imagination, I can design with greater complexity.
SLO 3: Apply use of scales, line quality, graphic conventions, and drawing systems and techniques. Create clear and appropriately ordered hierarchies of visual information Compose elements of a drawing in a clear organized manner that relates visual information on each drawing and between sets of related drawings SLO 4: Demonstrate an understanding of the purposes of various architectural graphic techniques. Identify the similarities and differences between:
Orthographic projections: plan, section, elevations, and details Paraline drawing: isometric and oblique
Only isometric views are demonsrtated at this point.
Perspective drawing: 1-, 2- and 3-point
Achieving these perspective types is just a matter of orbiting, zooming, and panning.
Compare and contrast the graphic systems describe directly above Demonstrate an integrated use of analog and digital tools in the process of developing a set of design intentions
