Architectural Drawing: The Single-Point Perspective

Approaching Architectural projects by hand

“Welcome to the "Final Project" section, and thank you so much for taking this course with us. It has been an amazing experience for us to share with you some of our techniques and ideas. We really hope that you have enjoyed it and that this course will give you the push you need to experiment more, practice more, and create something unique. We are now going to show you how to share each step of your final project with the whole community. First of all, choose the space you want to re-design. Show us a picture (or more than one), tell us about its characteristics and why you chose to work on it.

Then, take measurements of the existing space and create a set of existing to-scale drawings. Now, sketch over the existing drawings using layout paper to create your 2D designs for the space in the plan, section, and elevation. Explore the design in a single-point perspective to really inhabit the space and make changes. Bring your single-point perspective to life with details, colour, texture, and materials so you can share and explain your idea to others. You can do this step using digital tools, pencils/pastels, or markers. You choose! And you are done! Please, take the time to share your advice and thoughts on other people's work. We’ll be sure to let you know our thoughts on the forum when we can, though please remember that we are often busy with all our ongoing projects. Thank you so much for taking the time to come on this course with us! Talk to you soon!”
