Overview
For this assignment, students were tasked to pick one of 2 Architects from your given category to draw and colour the Architect and their buildings as well as include a description of the Architect. Requirements for this assignment included an A4 piece of draft and a final coloured A3 piece.
For me; My choice was to pick Frank Lloyd Wright or Mies Van Der Rohe. Frank Lloyd Wright ended up being my choice as I was more gravitated to his innovations in American Architecture especially his ideology of Usonion Houses. Thus, I took this opportunity to do reseach on his work as well as a chance to improve my drawing and colouring skills.
Outcome
Whilst working on this assignment, I learnt quite a few of Wright's buildings that I've never heard before such as the Affleck House and the Emil Bach House. Not to mention, it was also my first time planning out a design for a poster-like piece of drawing which felt like a fresh breath of air outside of model designing and model building.
I also got to know more about the Usonion Ideology that Wright Integrated into his Architecture in the early 1900s during my research on his background. It was interesting to see how he integrated natural materials into his building and creating a new genre of design.
