Architecture Tutor at [University Name] | 3D Modelling, Urban Design & Planning

The Student and Tutor worked on advanced Photoshop techniques, focusing on applying textures to architectural renders. They practiced using layer masks, object selection tools, and various blending modes to integrate floor textures and isolate foreground elements. The plan is for the Student to apply these techniques to other elevations.

The session focused on refining an architectural design project in SketchUp, specifically creating and managing three different arrangements of artwork, plants, and a person within a room. The Tutor guided the Student through organizing the model using grouping and tags, demonstrated techniques for precise object manipulation, and outlined the process for creating and exporting multiple scenes. The class concluded with an introduction to using Photoshop for rendering, covering selection tools and layering for applying textures.

Student and Tutor worked on creating and refining interior elevations in SketchUp and Layout. They addressed challenges with section cuts, applying dashed lines, and ensuring scene updates were correctly reflected when exporting models to Layout. The session involved practical application of these techniques for laundry room and office wall elevations, and a follow-up session was scheduled to continue working.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a hands-on SketchUp session, focusing on creating a detailed 3D model and elevation drawing for a kitchen design. They worked on accurately setting wall and ceiling heights, designing and integrating various kitchen appliances and cabinetry, and applying 3D modeling techniques. The session concluded with generating specific scenes for the top plan, 3D view, and the required elevation for the project.

The Tutor and Student worked on architectural planning, focusing on office and kitchen layouts. They discussed furniture placement, specific measurements for cabinets and bookcases, and clarified wall orientations for preparing elevation drawings. The session concluded with a plan to resume work on kitchen elevations and refine office design after a short break.

Student and Tutor refined architectural interior designs for a kitchen, laundry room, and office using design software. They focused on optimizing layouts, ensuring proper circulation clearances, accommodating specific appliance dimensions, and integrating various storage solutions. The session involved detailed discussions on kitchen island sizing, laundry room organization, and the strategic placement of book storage and a credenza in the office space.
