Measured Drawings
Methods of Documentation and Measured Drawings
(ARC1215)
This project will be carried out throughout the semester where students will be assigned to measure and document a historical / heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings and a model. Each group will have to only measure one particular building assigned by the lecturer. Apart from doing the measuring exercise on site, students will also need to do additional research in order to piece together all the important data about the building.
This project aims to produce a set of measured drawings of historical buildings or structures in a specific location. A report containing important and historical information of the buildings will complement the drawings. It is an on-site exercise where students are required to execute fieldwork and hands-on measurement exercise.
Completing this project, I am able to recommend the appropriate method of architectural historic documentation and recognize as well as the techniques or measured drawing and documentattion. I can now explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements
and interpret historic architectural element, structure and building. Besides, i am able to execute fieldwork and hands-on measurement exercise, translate measured data into scaled drawings and then produce a report on the buildings highlighting its importance and historical significance.
