GENERAL FEEDBACK: MISTAKES, INSTRUCTIONS AND
GUIDELINES
As we have one month left we will focus 80% to
architect's drawing and AUTOCAD!, so please put an effort on it!!AND DONT MISS
ANY SESSION!
but dont
forget that you have to keep on drawing sketches!
1- Be accurate, draw with appropriate leads
2-Put north direction and graphic scale!
3- Count the steps!! it is not about just drawing some
lines , it is important if you put 3 steps or 22, please look at the original
plans and count.
4. put arrows to stairs and ramps, always facing up!!
5. always make sections through: stairs, double heights,
doors, windows.
6. hatch: if
you hatch the section, then also the plan, make difference between section
lines and projection lines
7.windows are always 2 lines, never only 1 line, as it
may be another thing...like an opening without window...
8. in elevations windows have to be seen also with the
frame, for the same reason.
9. when sectioning a stair, there is no floor over
it!,
we will revise everything next day at the classroom.
Just remind you that it is very difficult to pass the
final exam without having attended, as this is about training your hand, your
mind, and learning architectural representation and codes, combined with
spatial vision... I try to help, but you have to make an effort too. Please,
don't lose a chance to learn and adquire the basic architect's skills!
It is very important that you know how to deal with
architect's drawings, and it is the
basic must for your upcoming internships too!!.
AUTOCAD: REMEMBER we don't have a lot of time to work with it
during the sessions but you have to use it to complete the assignments: start
with origami, and then make cafeteria plans in teams!. The only way to learn is
just practicing, expending time with autocad, you received the trainning you
needed, just practice and ask me if you have any doubt. Bring your laptops next
day too.
PLANS, SECTIONS,
ELEVATIONS: some of you asked
me how to make it. You can find attached some tips (below) that will help
you... we will go through it again next day, and every day till the end of the
course.
Also remember you
can check Unit 15. of the book ARchitectural Drawing Coures (the one in the
bibliography. I will scan it and send it to you as well.
INSTRUCTIONS NEXT
ASSIGNMENT: BLAS HOUSE AUTOCAD + TRANSFORMATION
(this short term
assignment will help you to undertake better the long term assignment of
redrawing-redesigning the house, that you will deepen further during Christmas
time)
As this is a very
simple house that you don't have any trouble with it, I will ask you to make
the plans in autocad, and then, propose a small transformation following these
basic rules:
1. add a new floor
and for that...u will have to resolve
the stair!!
2. open a space in
double height
3. Make plans sections and elevations in the
right scale!! (1:100/1:200/1:50)
