WEEK 04 ACTIVITY: “AN INTRODUCTION TO WORKING DRAWINGS” GROUP MEMBERS: ISRAR, BARRY, FLORA, SVETLANA CASE STUDY BUILDING: EASTERN PRECINT STUDENT CENTRE(ERC)
1. TITLE BLOCK
2. DRAWING CONTENT - PLANS
1.THE TYPES OF INFORMATION FOUND IN THE TITLE BLOCK ON THE FLOOR PLAN PAGE:
1.WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION IS SHOWN IN THIS FLOOR PLAN?
• DATE( AUG 07) • CLIENT(THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE) • PROJECT(MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY EASTERN LEARNING HUB) • SCALE(1:100@B1) • DRAWING TITLE(EASTERN LEARNING HUB ERC(BUILDING 171) LEVEL 1 PLAN • COMPANY(IRWINCONSULT PTY LTD) • DRAWING NUMBER(S002)
2.WHY MIGHT THIS INFORMATION BE IMPORTANT?
• • • • • • •
DIMENSIONS GRID GENERAL NOTES LEGEND ANNOTATIONS REFERENCE TO OTHER DRAWINGS DOORS AND WINDOWS IDENTIFIED
2.PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THE DIMENSIONS AS THEY APPEAR ON THIS FLOOR PLAN? WHAT UNITS ARE USED FOR DIMENSIONS?
IT LETS YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE IN TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION AT THIS POINT OF TIME
*mm ARE USED
3. IS THERE A GRID? WHAT SYSTEM IS USED FOR IDENTIFYING THE GRID LINES?
THE GRID IS USED IN THIS DRAWINGS AND IS LOCATED USING NUMERICAL SYSTEM VERTICALLY ACROSS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE AND ALPHABETICAL SYSTEM HORIZONTALLY ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE
4. WHY IS SOME INFORMATION FOUND IN GENERAL NOTES?
GENERAL NOTES MAKE THE DRAWING CLEARER, COMPRISING ALL THE RELEVANT INFORMATION AT ONCE RATHER THAN NOTING IT ON EVERY PLAN
7. ILLUSTRATE HOW THE LOCATIONS OF SECTIONS ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE PLAN. WHAT DO THESE SYMBOLS MEAN?
5. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LEGEND?
LEGEND EXPLAINS THE RANGE OF ELEMENTS AND MATERIALS NOTED ON THE PLAN
6. WHY ARE SOME PARTS OF THE DRAWING ANNOTATED? ILLUSTRATE HOW THE ANNOTATIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RELEVANT PART OF THE DRAWING.
ANNOTATIONS LABEL DIFFERENT PARTS OF A PLAN THAT REQUIRE ATTENTION AND PROVIDE EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT IT
*ARROW ASSOCIATES ANNOTATION WITH THE RELEVANT PART OF THE DRAWING
*THE NUMBER AT THE TOP HALF OF THE REFERENCE SHOWS THE NAME OF SECTION DRAWING WHICH IS ALLOCATED ON PAGE WITH THE NUMBER SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE CIRCLE
8.ILLUSTRATE HOW REFERENCES TO OTHER DRAWINGS ARE SHOWN ON THE PLAN. WHAT DO THESE SYMBOLS MEAN?
AS IN REFERENCE TO SECTIONS, THE NUMBER ON TOP SHOWS THE DRAWING NAME AND THE BOTTOM NUMBER ALLOCATES TO THE PAGE THE DRAWING IS ON
9. 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?
10. ILLUSTRATE HOW FLOOR LEVELS ARE NOTED ON THE PLAN?
11. ARE SOME AREAS OF THE DRAWING CLOUDED? WHY?
YES. THE AREAS ARE CLOUDED TO EMPHASISE THE CHANGES DONE TO PLAN IN CURRENT REVISION(EG. REVISION D)
WINDOW ON PLAN
DOOR ON PLAN
THE LEGEND TELLS THAT THE TOP NUMBER IS A DOOR/WINDOW NUMBER, AND THAT THIS DOOR/WINDOW IS ALLOCATED ON THE FLOOR WITH BOTTOM NUMBER REFERENCE
3. DRAWING CONTENT – ELEVATIONS
3. WHAT TYPES OF LEVELS ARE SHOWN ON THE ELEVATIONS? ILLUSTRATE HOW LEVELS ARE SHOWN IN RELATION TO THE ELEVATION.
1. WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION IS SHOWN IN THIS ELEVATION? HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM THE INFORMATION SHOWN ON THE PLAN?
JUST AS IN FLOORPLAN, THE INFORMATION ABOUT DIMENSIONS, SCALE, DATE, DRAWING NUMBER IS SHOWN. IT DIFFERS, HOWEVER, AS IT PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT CONSULTANTS, GIVEN THEIR ADDRESS AND CONTACT NUMBER
2. 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. DIMENSIONS ARE SHOWN AND, AS IT IS ELEVATION, THERE ARE NOW DIMENSIONS OF HEIGHT OF ALL THE WINDOWS, DOORS, COLUMNS, POLES AND THE WHOLE BUILDING AS SUCH
DIFFERENT FLOOR LEVELS ARE SHOWN AND DEVIDED ON THE ELEVATION USING THE BROKEN LINE FFL INDICATES FINISHED FLOOR LEVEL
4. IS THERE A GRID? IF SO, HOW / WHERE IS IT SHOWN?
THE GRID IS PRESENT, AND IT USES BOTH NUMERICAL AND ALPHABETICAL SYSTEMS HORIZONTALLY AT THE TOP OF A PLAN
5. IS THERE A LEGEND? WHAT DOES IT IDENTIFY AND HOW IS IT USED?
LEGEND IS PRESENT AND DOES NOT DIFFER FROM THE ONE FOUND IN FLOOR PLANS. IT IDENTIFIES THE RANGE OF REFERENCES ON THE PLAN AND IS USED TO CLARIFY THE DRAWING
8. ARE ANY PARTS OF THE ELEVATION CLOUDED? WHY?
SOME PARTS ARE CLOUDED TO SHOW THE CHANGES DONE TO PLAN IN CURRENT REVISION
9. ILLUSTRATE WHERE THIS ELEVATION IS LOCATED IN RELATION TO THE PLAN?
6. WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION ON THE ELEVATIONS ARE EXPRESSED USING WORDS? ILLUSTRATE HOW THIS IS DONE.
ANNOTATIONS USE WORDS TO IDENTIFY THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PARTICULAR PLACES OF THE BUILDING. ANNOTATED ARE ALSO REFERENCES TO OTHER DRAWINGS
7. ILLUSTRATE HOW THE DOORS AND WINDOWS ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE ELEVATIONS. WINDOW
DOOR
REFERENCE FROM THE ELEVATION TAKES US TO GRID LETTER B ON THE PAGE S005
4. DRAWING CONTENT – SECTIONS 1. WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION IS SHOWN IN THIS SECTION? HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM THE INFORMATION SHOWN ON THE PLAN AND ELEVATION?
IN ADDITION TO INFORMATION THAT IS ALSO SHOWN ON THE PLAN AND ELEVATION, MORE DETAILED INFORMATION IS GIVEN IN SECTION. IT PROVIDES BUILDERS WITH ANNOTATIONS ON MATERIALS USED AND IS CRUTIAL IN DEVELOPMENT
2. ARE DIMENSIONS SHOWN? IF SO, HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM THE DIMENSIONS ON THE ELEVATION?
DIMENSIONS ARE PRESENT AND THEY ARE MUCH MORE SPECIFIC THAN THE ONES ON THE ELEVATION
3. WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION ON THE SECTIONS ARE EXPRESSED USING WORDS? ILLUSTRATE HOW THIS IS DONE. DETAILED ANNOTATIONS COMPRISE INFORMATION ABOUT MATERIALS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND USE WORDS AS A MEANS OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION:
4. ILLUSTRATE HOW THE SECTION DRAWING DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN BUILDING ELEMENTS THAT ARE CUT THROUGH AND THOSE THAT ARE SHOWN IN ELEVATION (BEYOND).
6. FIND WHERE THIS SECTION IS LOCATED ON THE PLANS.
BUILDING ELEMENTS THAT ARE SHOWN IN ELEVATION ARE REFERENCED TO BY THE NUMBER IN A TRIANGULAR SHAPE, WHEN THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN CUT THROUGH ARE ANNOTATED
5. PROVIDE EXAMPLES OF HOW DIFFERENT MATERIALS ARE SHOWN ON THE SECTIONS.
WESTERN RED CEDAR TIMBER BATTEN
REFERENCE OF THE SECTION BRINGS US TO THE PLAN ON PAGE NUMBER A0207
5. DRAWING CONTENT – DETAILS
4. FIND THE LOCATIONS OF THESE DETAILS ON THE PLANS, ELEVATIONS AND SECTIONS.
1. WHAT SORTS OF THINGS ARE DETAILED?
PARTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION THAT ARE TOO SMALL TO SHOW ON LARGER SCALE PLANS ARE DETAILED
2. ARE THE DETAILS COMPRESSED USING BREAK LINES? WHY?
• DETAIL ON ELEVATION
THE DETAILES ARE COMPRESSED USING BREAK LINES IN ORDER TO SHOW THE CONTINUITYOF THE DRAWING
3. PROVIDE EXAMPLES OF HOW DIFFERENT MATERIALS ARE SHOWN ON DRAWINGS AT THIS SCALE. ANODISED BLACK VERMON MESH
• DETAIL ON PLAN
CONCRETE EDGING WITH CASTING INSITU CHANNEL TO SUPPORT GLASS BALUSTRADE
• DETAIL ON SECTION
