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 worked on an architectural design project in SketchUp, focusing on refining a multi-level structure. They adjusted cuboid dimensions, created and positioned heart-shaped openings, and integrated external railing components. The next session was scheduled for Sunday to continue working on the model.
Component Management & Transformation Techniques
Navigating & Controlling Viewpoints for Precision
Customizing Geometry with Line and Push/Pull Tools
Integrating & Scaling External 3D Warehouse Models
Efficient 3D Model Construction & Iteration
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.

The Student and Tutor reviewed professional architectural drawing terminology and presentation standards. They discussed upcoming assignments, including physical model building and designing an 'Architectural Folly' using 3D modeling software like SketchUp and Enscape. The Student plans to prepare initial sketches for the folly, and future sessions will focus on creating and rendering the designs in SketchUp and Enscape.

Designing an Architectural Folly
Integrating SketchUp & Enscape for 3D Visualization
Student and Tutor worked on an architectural graphic communications assignment involving 3D modeling and orthographic projections. They collaboratively built a multi-level cube composition in SketchUp designed to represent a heart-shaped building. The session focused on the practical application of SketchUp tools, conceptualizing architectural stability for the unique structure, and setting up various orthographic views for subsequent manual drafting. They confirmed the drawing scale for the assignment and scheduled a follow-up session.

Additive & Subtractive Form Composition
Setting Up SketchUp Views for Technical Drawings
Technical Drawing Standards: Scale & Line Weights
Student and Tutor covered advanced AutoCAD techniques, including customizing plot styles (CTBs), troubleshooting printing issues, and creating detailed blown-up sections for shop drawings. They practiced editing line properties and discussed best practices for professional drawing presentation and file sharing. The Tutor plans to send example AutoCAD files for the Student's reference and further practice.
Customizing Plot Styles (CTB)
Creating Scaled Detail Callouts
Optimizing Shop Drawing Details and Organization
File Sharing Best Practices & Plotting Troubleshooting
The Student and Tutor collaborated on an AutoCAD project, focusing on drafting detailed floor plans for a bedroom and a living room, including precise furniture placement and dimensioning. They also worked on creating an elevation drawing for the living room fireplace wall, incorporating specific design elements and lighting. The Student plans to use the generated PDF layouts for an upcoming presentation.
