Class overview
As a SketchUp, Architecture, and AutoCAD tutor, I can teach students of all levels - from school to college to adult/professional learners. My teaching methodology includes model making, technical skills development, concept building, design thinking, and keeping the sessions engaging. I focus on preparing students for a successful career in architecture by helping them build a strong portfolio of projects. With tailored strategies, I assist students in grasping design principles and provide them with the opportunity to work on their own designs. Through personalized design projects that cater to their architectural interests, I guide students towards achieving their educational and professional goals.

Architecture concepts taught by Riya
The Student and Tutor reviewed advanced AutoCAD techniques, including representing 3D objects in 2D elevations and customizing plot styles (CTB files) for print output. They also covered image insertion, hatch pattern creation, and the initial stages of architectural design, including site analysis and zoning for a house plan. The Tutor shared design references and discussed the potential for future lessons.

The Student and Tutor worked on refining an architectural model in SketchUp, focusing on internal modifications, railing design, and generating various scaled views using section planes. They practiced creating and managing scenes for floor plans and section drawings. The session concluded with attempts to export these views to AutoCAD for printing at a specific scale, identifying a scaling challenge to be addressed.

Student and Tutor collaborated on an architecture project in SketchUp, focusing on a 'folly' design. They refined drafting techniques, clarified assignment requirements for plans and sections, and designed a helical staircase and a central elevator core, applying materials and positioning the model. They also discussed the complexities of scaling real-world dimensions into the miniature model for the staircase.
