MEASURED DRAWING

PROJECT 1

Onsite Observation Journal and Video

This project is an on-site exercise where students have to observe, sketch and document the physical and the
immediate context of the site. It can be from an element as broad as the urban planning itself down to the smallest
detail of the ornaments used in the building. The sketches are to comprise at least 2 each of these categories:
1. The Genius Loci
2. Cultural Attributes
3. Technical /Construction details
A video documenting the measuring exercise and the building is required to provide actual experience of the building.

The site we were assigned to is the FUI CHEW ASSOCIATION building on Jalan Kasturi , Melaka . The building is a two-story narrow shop-house.

The on-site sketch journal help me to capture the vibe of the area as the surroundings helped to mold the buildings in that area.The video helps to spread information about the building to other viewers who would like to visit Melaka next time.

Below is the link tot the sketch journal and video.

PROJECT 2

REPORT & PHOTOBOOK

The report is an additional document that accompanies the set of drawings for the building that is measured during
the semester.The report elaborates on the significance of the building measured from various aspects
such as architectural, historical and cultural. In this report, we are required to relate the architecture of the
building to its significance, highlighting how the two support the in habitation of the building.

The report contain detailed information about the building from what we observed as well as based on interviews with the locals around. While the photobook contains pictures of the significant part of our building.

Below is the link for the report and photo-book.

PROJECT 3

ON SITE INVESTIGATION & MEASUREMENT

For this part of the project we as a group divided ourselves into 6 pairs with 6 different spaces of the building assigned to us. So each pair measured every length ,width and area of their space and sketch it out in the butter paper. Later the sketches we converted into CAD drawings with the highest precision possible of the floor plans ,location plans ,sections and elevations.Since i am on the cading team, i have learned so much about the software itself and also howto transfer information. It wasn't easy at first but then eventually i got the hang of it . This project definitely helped to enhance my software skills.We were also assigned to build a scaled model of the building and the scale we chose was 1:40 as it displays the right proportion for our building.Model images are inserted below.
