After completing the essay for St. Paul Cathedral. I am given a task to analyse the historic building in several ways. We are required to complete a few drawings on the particular building which includes floor plan, building elevations, internal section as well as sketches which is related to the building. We are required to hand draw all the drawings for this assignment, In this analysis, we are required to analyse the concept, building mass analysis, circulation analysis, spatial organization analysis (public vs private, symmetry & balance, unit to whole, repetitive to unique, additive and subtractive, hierarchy) and building section analysis. It took me 4 days to finish up the analysis board. I enjoyed the process a lot as it gives me freedom to design the board in the way I like.
In a group of 4, we are given a task to create a model to communicate our analysis on St. Paul Cathedral. The model produced should communicate the importance of structure, components, ideas and concepts of St. Paul Cathedral. The scale of the model created is 30cm x 30cm plus 10cm depth and the materials used for this model is strictly balsa timber. It approximately took us 5 days to finish this model. The most difficult part of this assignment is that the fragility of balsa timber and it can be easily distorted. Besides, the most challenging part of this task is the crafting of the details on the elevations of the St. Paul Cathedral. Overall, it was an absolute amazing experience to work with my groupmates throughout the process of this assignment.
