Final Project (Individual – Progress Marks :10% + Final Marks : 30%)

Orthographic Drawings Submission date – 25th July 2014 Introduction

This project introduces students to key people in the built environment and how drawing conventions and calculation is used in the field. Students will explore and understand the application and complexity of drawing convention and skills is applied in the practice as a means of communication.

Objectives of Project

• To implement observation skills and be able to record, organize, interpret and describe a variety of issues via visual communications effectively on site

• To introduce the techniques of drawing in the built environment practice. Learning Outcomes

• Relate the basic principles and conventions of drawing skill as a communication tool in the construction industry. • Apply drawing as a means of communication in order to express three-dimensional space and object into two- dimensional orthographic drawings.

Tasks

1. In a group (6 in a group – 91 students), students will be given a site within Taylors University Lakeside Campus according to your tutors. Students will select a space of about 10mx10m (not more) from the chosen level. Spaces chosen cannot overlap with your group member

Incomplete work will receive marks of C- or below. Each drawing must have an appropriate SCALE. You are required to take/make notes based on your understanding of architectural drawings’ convention requirements to visualize the selected objects. The notes/annotations must be included as part of the drawings requirement and written clearly and neatly in the drawings. At all-time proper architectural lettering is mandatory. Materials/Equipment It is your responsibility to bring all necessary tools to facilitate your measurement, drawing and note-taking.

dimension and composition. 4. All preliminary drawings must be drawn using A3 butter paper and using pencils to be submitted

together during the submission day. Each preliminary drawing must be signed by lecturers during tutorial session (your progress marks would be determined here)

5. The submitting documents should be between 5- 7 pieces of A3 paper.

All must be compiled and arranged accordingly and to be comb or wire bound. PRESENTATION DRAWINGS (BOARDS) MUST BE SUBMITTED ON 25th JULY 2014
