Method of Documentation and Measured Drawings

 

Project 1   Sketchbook and Journal 

 

This project will be carried out throughout the semester where we will be assigned to measure and document a historical / heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings and a model. We have measured Lian Huat Comapany. 

 

Throughout this project, we recognize and recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation and explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elandements. i am able to translate measured data into scaled drawings and produce a report on the buildings highlighting its importance and historical significance 

 

This project is an on-site exercise where we have to sketch and documents the physical and intangible qualities of the buildings as well as the immediate context of the site. As a start, we sketch the plans, sections and elevations of the building that the group has measured, as an expression of the students’ understanding of the building.   

 

The sketches are to comprise at least 2 each of these categories:  1. The Genius Loci 2. Poetic Quality 3. Cultural Attributes 4. Technical /Construction details

In this project, i m required to hand in 10 on site sketches of Penang. However, because the time frame is too short, so we wouldn't able to draw on site, however, we took photos and draw once we got back here. i enjoyed drawing street views in penang as the heritage buildings is so unique and impressive. All are very well preserve. from this project, I learned how important it was to restore and maintain heritage buildings. It wasnt just about the whole that counts. It was the details that made it so attractive.
