SEMESTER 2.5
METHODS OF
DOCUMENTATION AND
MEASURED DRAWINGS
(ARC60305/ARC2323/ARC1215)
The subject aims to develop an understanding of the principles of building preservation / conservation and the methods of recording it in three documentation methods.
For measured drawings, students are to document historically and architecturally significant buildings in the form of as-built drawings.
The outcomes of the subject are collection of plans, section, elevations, details and axonometric views / models; complemented with a report that explains about the background, history, concept, style construction technics and ornamentation of the building.
PROJECT01
Sketch Journal
10 manual sketches, showing the trip experieces and contextual sensations.
Sketch, has been a way of recording and documenting the truly feelings of the place.
Every strokes, is a single memory and unforgettably vivid image, beautiful yet so meaningful.
Through these sketches, students are given a chance to pay attention to tiny details not only the buidling but also the surronding features. These are the features that will form a truly architectural works.

PROJECT02
Building Report and Video
The report is an additional document that accompanies the set of drawings for the building that is measured during the semester. Basically, the report will elaborate on the significance of the building measured from various aspects such as architectural, historical and cultural. In this report, students are required to relate the architecture of the building to its significance, highlighting how the two support the inhabitation of the building. Students are required to prepare a presentation, photobook and a video about their site. A video documenting the building is required to provide 3D experience of the building.
PROJECT03
Measured Drawings & Model
The project will be carried out throughout the semester where students will be assigned to measure and document a historical / architecturally significant or heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings. Each group will have to only measure one particular building assigned by the course coordinator. 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. The model will provide additional physical information of the building.
