METHODS OF DOCUMENTATION & MEASURED DRAWINGS

 

The subject aims to develop an understanding of the principles of building preservation/conservation and the methods of recording it in three documentation methods; measured drawings, written documentation and photographic documentation. The ideas of application and management of architectural historic documentation will be presented as part of the overall knowledge of building preservation/conservation. For measured drawings, we were to document historically and architecturally significant buildings in the form of as-built drawings. The task requires 10 to 20 students per group that involve fieldworks consisting of measuring techniques such as photographing, sketching, using of theodolite and measuring tapes. The outcomes of the subject are collection of plans, section, elevations, details and axonometric views / models; complemented with a report that explains about the background, history, concept, style construction technics and ornamentation of the building.

PROJECT 1 . SKETCHBOOK & JOURNAL

This project is an on-site exercise where we were to sketch and document the physical and intangible qualities of the buildings as well as 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.

PROJECT 2 . Building Report

The report is an additional document that accompanies the set of drawings for the building that is measured during the semester. Basically, the report will elaborate on the significance of the building measured from various aspects such as architectural, historical and cultural. In this report, we were required to relate the architecture of the building to its significance, highlighting how the two support the inhabitation of the building. We were required to prepare a presentation, photo book and a video about the site as well.

This project will be carried out throughout the semester where students will be assigned to measure and document a historical / architecturally significant or heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings. We were to only measure one particular assigned by the course coordinator. Apart from doing the measuring exercise on site, we will also need to do additional research in order to piece together all the important data about the building. The model will provide additional physical information of the building.
