Project 2_Measured Drawing

Introduction
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.


Learning Outcome
Upon successful completion of the subject, students will be able to:

• Recommend the appropriate method of architectural historic documentation
• Recognize and recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation
• Explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements
•  Interpret historic architectural element, structure and building
• Execute fieldwork and hands-on measurement exercise
• Translate measured data into scaled drawings
• Produce a report on the buildings highlighting its importance and historical significance 

Tasks

In a group of certain students, students are to do a measuring exercise on the particular building, taking all physical information of the building, from its location to its spatial layout as well as details.
Students are assigned to produce:

2 set of A1 sized drawings (one with dimensions and one without dimensions) and 2 sets of A3 sized drawings (both without dimensions) comprising the following;

• Key plan 
• Location plan 
• Site plan incorporating the roof plan 
• Floor plans
• Elevations
• Sections
• Site sections 
• Exploded isometric / axonometric 
• A physical model to show the construction\
• Details – construction, architectural, decorative elements / ornaments (minimum one each) 

All annotations should be made in bilingual terms highlighting traditional terminologies such as ‘tebar layar’, ‘dou-gong’ or ‘sikhara’

Reflection

In this project, I learnt to observe and teamwork with my group mates to get the measurement of out site that is the Courthouse Museum Batu Gajah.

This project is helpful for us to produce accurate and right drawings in proper way.

Teamwork is needed to get an accurate scale.

I'm so glad that everyone help each others in this project
Sometimes, they will give me advice of my drawings and I am appreciate it.
