ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION – A BASIC PRACTICE FOR AN ARCHITECT

(this blog is for a school assignment, so if you are not interested into this, it is okay)

1/ What is “ ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION” indeed?

Well, you can take a look to some photos below and figure it out by yourself first:

Okay, got it, if not, here are some of my words

Imagine you are a planner, an architect, or anybody, first thing first to start any projects is to sketch it out, draw it out, write it out in order to have a basic ground of what is going on. In architecture, may be the basicest architectural stuffs that a highschool kid need to know is know how to draw a 3-dimensional cubic with details, back to front, upside down. So, basically, orthograsphic projection will teach you how to master it, both on a digital design app and on paper. KIDS, this is massively significant for your life, focus.

2/ OH it is easy, isn’t it?

Okay people, here’s the thing, you all know nobody can perfect things at their first attempt, either do I. I could not figure it out how to draw a fine retangle back when I was a little kid, for the reason that I did not have a imaginative mindset to tell direction, which is left or right, but fortunately, it built up on me as I’m growing up by observing the world more.

For many of us, we painfully stuggled to understand the concept of 3D drawing, but this is for us, for our little brain.

NO, it’s not easy as you might think it would be and you’re required to prepare a pen/pencil, an earaser, an brain, a paper or an undamaged computer.

3/ Where to start with?

GO OUTSiDE and draw any definable objects that you think you can understand how to draw it, I swear to god, it works, at least for me. In the past, I started with trying out on a cubic, repeated the work for thousands of times, until I know how many faces, edges it has, which sides it hide from our eyesight. Since this is a review on an assignment of mine, called ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION, I’m about to talk more about it. I was assigned for drawing 5 pictures of 5 different shapes, both on papers and a program, Fusion 360. You can do to, search on the internet for shapes, and repeat it exactly the same.

Wait, talk a bit about Fusion 360, this app nearly killed me in the first place for the reason that I had no idea where to start with what steps. Tips are to search for Fusion 360 tutorial on Youtube, then things are going to be fine. It helps, indeed.

4/ What I got then? It is good as I expected as I thought it would be?

It turned out actually frecking good, let me tell you, I got 100 on this assignment and not to lie, I actually did expect to get 100 when I submitted it, because I was burnt out for it so this is just a review for the assignment. I learnt to design things on Fusion 360 and you know what, my peer assistance was myself and my brain, and I learnt to be patient to not to make any mistakes on paper, which are irreversable later on, so I had to be intensively careful which is a thing that I’d not had before.
