TITLE BLOCK
List the types of information found in the title block on the floor plan page. - Project number
- Is there a grid? What system is used for identifying the grid lines? Numbers (horizontally) x Letters (Vertically) Grid lines align with walls
- Drawing Number (A03.02) - Date Printed - Scale - Architect
- Why is some information found in General Notes? Provides information referring to all the pages included in the document
- Orientation - What is the purpose of the legend? Why might this information be important? Adds clarity and provides essential information.
2
DRAWING CONTENT - PLANS
- What type of information is shown in this floor plan? - Dimensions - Doors - Sections
To easily identify symbols on the plan
- Why are some parts of the drawing annotated? Illustrate how the annotations are associated with the relevant part of the drawing. Specific sections require complex demands Information relevant to section
- Materials - Walls
- Provide an example of the dimensions as they appear on this floor plan? What units are used for the dimensions?
- Illustrate how the locations of sections are identified on the plan. What do these symbols mean?
- Illustrate how references to other drawings are shown on the plan. What do these symbols mean?
3
DRAWING CONTENT – ELEVATIONS
- What type of information is shown in this elevation? How does it differ from the information shown on the plan? - Front on view - Windows, doors and walls - Ground level changes - Floors - Roof
- How are windows and doors identified? Provide and example of each. Is there a rationale to their numbering? What do these numbers mean? Can you find the answer somewhere in the drawings?
- Are dimensions shown? If so, how do they differ from the dimensions on the plan? Provide an example of the dimensions as they relate to the elevation. Yes, height levels give dimensions of the building.
- Illustrate how floor levels are noted on the plan?
- What types of levels are shown on the elevations? Illustrate how levels are shown in relation to the elevation.
GROUND FLOOR
Floor levels and ceilings
Old FLR L1
- Are some areas of the drawing clouded? Why? Not in scope of works.
- Is there a grid? If so, how / where is it shown? Numbers (Horizontally) x Floor levels (Vertically)
- Is there a legend? What does it identify and how is it used? There is no legend on the elevation plan.
4
DRAWING CONTENT – SECTIONS
What type of information is shown in this section? How does it differ from the information shown on the plan and elevation? It shows a front on view of the inside (a cut through the inside)
- What types of information on the elevations are expressed using words? Illustrate how this is done. Annotations Information relevant to section
- Are dimensions shown? If so, how do they differ from the dimensions on the elevation? - Illustrate how the doors and windows are identified on the elevations. Windows
Ceiling heights are shown, similarly to elevation plan
Doors
- Are any parts of the elevation clouded? Why? Yes, these are in relation the roof.
- Illustrate where this elevation is located in relation to the plan?
- What types of information on the sections are expressed using words? Illustrate how this is done.
Names of different spaces, eg. (corridor), (group study)
5 - Illustrate how the section drawing differentiates between building elements that are cut through and those that are shown in elevation (beyond).
DRAWING CONTENT – DETAILS
- What sorts of things are detailed? Specific dimensions and requirements for certain parts of the building and construction process
Darker/Thicker lines illustrate the building elements have been cut through. Lighter lines are elements in the background.
- Are the details compressed using break lines? Why? To not confusing which drawings are connected and which are not. - Provide examples of how different materials are shown on the sections.
Brick - Provide examples of how different materials are shown on drawings at this scale. soil
Concrete
Find where this section is located on the plans.
- Find the locations of these details on the plans, elevations and sections.

Brief: build a structure, which spans 1000mm using a selection of materials. The structure will then be tested to the point of destruction.
My group was given three pieces of pine and one piece of plywood. We decided that this would be a strong form because:
Timber stronger sideways
However, we did not consider that the bottom beam would be in a lot of tension underneath
The structure was able to support 400kg, however, it snapped due to a weakness created by the nails we used to join the wood pieces together.
The plywood was also not used in a beneficial way.
