FARNSWORTH HOUSE
INDIVIDUAL (40%)
TASK
This assignment involves creating hand-drawn 2D and 3D architectural sketches using techniques like orthographic projections, axonometry, and perspective views.
The sketches should include plans, elevations, sections, axonometric views, and perspectives, all on A3 drawing paper. The final submission should have accurate labeling, annotations, symbols, and clear architectural handwriting.
Orthographic Drawings
Floor Plan:
Showing the width and length of the building.
South Elevation:
Showing the width and height of the building.
East Elevation:
Showing the length and height of the building.
Section:
Cutting through the building and looking towards a specified direction.

Axonometric Drawing
Axonometric projection is a type of parallel projection used to create a pictorial drawing of an object, where the object is rotated along one or more of its axes relative to the plane of projection.
Shows an image of an object as viewed from a skewed direction in order to reveal more than one side in the same picture. Orthographic projections showed only 1 side.
Axonometric’ means "to measure along axes.
Step 1: Setting up (30°- 60°)
Step 2: Place tracing paper
Step 3: Extend vertical lines
Step 4: Scale and measure correct height of walls.
Step 5: Join the vertical lines
Step 6: Project doors, windows, furniture
Step 7: Outlining
Perspectives Drawings
Perspective is an architectural graphic which has a 3-dimensional quality, portraying a sense of space and depth. Perspective drawing gives objects on a 2D surface a sense of 3- dimensionality.
One-point perspective is the simplest type to create drawings of buildings and other objects with straight lines. In a one-point perspective, all the parallel lines in the scene converge at a single point on the horizon. This perspective is often used to establish a sense of depth and realism in a drawing
Two-point perspective is used when you want to depict a scene with more depth and complexity than is possible with a one-point view. A Two-point perspective has two vanishing points, one for each set of parallel lines in the scene. This type of perspective is often used for drawing interior scenes, landscapes, and other scenes with curved lines
