Design 2- Assignment 1

So last Tuesday we took a trip as a class to the Millenia Mall, in Orlando. I was super excited due to the fact it was a mall (I over shop). We measured, scaled, took snapshots, and drew the Bloomingdale's 3 public viewed facades. The main entrance being the first one, the side which was much longer than both other 2 facades due to the ramp, and the third facade which started on the second floor just above the ramp from facade 2. 

Thursday when the drawings were due, I was running late to class and by the time I got there (11 minutes late) the other professor already dismissed U.S. My friend told me the criteria of the homework due Tuesday of the upcoming week so we bought our paper and went on with our weekends. 

When I hear draw the facades on a horizontal paper, I assume draw each facade next to eachother side by side. This became my first iteration...
My professor on Tuesday had us all pin up our work and she observed each one. I received many compliments from other classmates about the detail I put into my drawing. When my professor got to my drawing she asked who printed it out on autocad, I burst out laughing and replied I drew that! I'm guessing that was a compliment, but I haven't worked with autocad yet so who knows. 
Here's more of my first iteration. 

My professor told me to re do my drawings with less detail as well as with the new scale the whole class agreed on. 

This was the new result, pretty plain, but it will help me get to the next step by building my armature with the longest facade for our final project. 

Stay tuned!
