Studio: Oval Pavilion Construction Documentations Why are some parts of the drawing annotated? Illustrate how the annotations are associated with the relevant part of the drawing. I. Title Block: List the types of information found in the title block on the floor plan page. --Consultants names
annotations are for construction to specify finishes, construction methods, or symbols for electrical items. Arrows pointing at specific structural element linking annotations on the side.
--Client --Project name
Illustrate how reference to other drawings are shown on the plan. --Issue for construction, information (changes and details) issuing another drawing What do these symbols mean. set a circle with numbers associating with particular parts of the floor --Drawing Title, Drawing number plan was used to reference to other drawings (drawings more detailed). The numbers in smaller size in the circle is the page --Compass number indicating which page the referenced drawing located, the --Scale larger number is the drawing number in referenced page. --Date --Project number, Revision label Why might this information be important?
How are windows and doors identified? Provide and example of each. Is there a rationale to their numbering? What do these numbers mean ďź&#x; Can you find the answer somewhere in the drawing?
II. Drawing Content:
D01/2.17
What type of information is shown in this floor plan?
W02/2.04
--names of co-ordinator, project architect, project director
A detailed view from above showing the physical features of one level of the building. There are drawing, lines, annotations, labels on the floor plan Illustrate how floor levels are noted on the plan? Provide an example of the dimensions as they appear on this floor plan? What units are used for the dimensions? Shown in Ground floor plan, dimensions of Function room is 172.7m^2 The unit used is square meter It there a grid? What system is used for identifying the grid lines? Grid lines are used to locate one element more precisely in drawings for different levels of the building, each line is labeled a number What is the purpose of the legend? Legend shows how structural elements and other information are represented in floor plan drawing
For example, FFL 46.600 FFL means Finished Floor Level, 46.600 means 46.600 meters above datum.
Are some areas of the drawing clouded? Why?
What type of information is shown in this elevation? How does it differ from the information shown on the plan? Elevation is a side view of the building presenting detailed information of the facade. The difference is that while floor plan giving most of the details of the building, elevation of one direction only shows what can be seen from that one side of the building. Yet the elevation shows the height of structural elements without precisely indicating their spacing/distances between each other.
Are dimensions shown? If so, how do they differ from the dimensions on the plan? Provide an example.
Find where this elevation is located on the plans. The signs representing elevations located on north and south side of the building in the plan drawing What type of information is shown in this section? How does it differ from the information shown on the plan and the elevation? Section shows what can be seen if the building is cut vertically. Compared with floor plan, in section the relationship between different level is clearly demonstrated. Different from elevation, section shows what can only be seen inside the building. Provide examples of how different materials are shown on the sections. Surface filled with dot lines represents timber, short diagonal lines – glass
What types of levels are shown on the elevations? Illustrate how levels are shown in relation to the elevation. Finished floor level
Find where this section is located on the plans. The signs representing elevations located on east and west side of the building in the plan drawing
Spot level – reduced level above datum Spot level – finished ceiling level Levels are shown corresponding to their values, higher level are marked higher up to the ground while lower level are marked closer to the ground
III. Details What sorts of things are detailed?
Are the details compressed using break lines? Why? Is there a grid? How/where is it shown? Yes, the grid lines are shown in elevation as vertical lines to the line representing ground. A number for each grid line is shown in drawing.
Provide examples of how different materials are shown on drawings at the scale.
What types of information on the elevations are expressed using words? Illustrate how this is done.
Find the locations of these details on the plans, elevations and sections.
Existing structures that influence construction; Requires of specific materials/elements; For example: ‘new fence and gates to match existing’.
Glossary: Bracing: are used in construction of Buildings in order to provide resistance to the forces acting on it. A simple industrial building can deform under lateral loads. The bracing when provided in a planned manner effectively transforms lateral forces due to wind, earthquake and crane surge etc. to the foundation of the building. Thus a system of diagonal or lateral bracing is provided in order give stability to a building. Bracing can be Transverse Bracing and Longitudinal Bracing. Joist:horizontal supporting members that run between foundations, walls, or beams to support a ceiling or floor. Typically, a beam is bigger than a joist and joists are often supported by beams laid out in repetitive patterns. Light gauge : is a steel L-header consisting of single or double steel "L" angles that significantly reduce installation time. Pier: a raised structure, including bridge and building supports and walkways, typically supported by widely spread piles or pillars. Prop: steel post used in the construction trades for shorings walls and trenches, also called ‘jack post’. Starter bar: processed bars, normally used to tie reinforced masonry or concrete walls to slabs or footings
