In class last week, for the first time as a group we were given drawings which were split up into different parts. We looked at sections, elevations, views, floor plans, and site plans. We then were asked to take all these drawings and try and see if we can correspond them to see which pieces of drawings go together. This was not an easy task. A lot of the drawing looked the same so it was important that we paid attention to details of the building as well as the lay out. For my group the technique we used was similar design, though we had difficult. By doing this exercise we are getting a better understanding on how to read drawings for when we become future architects. Details was a very important key in this exercise because it would determine which drawings would go together. I got a better understanding on what floor plans are and how to read them, as well as reading elevations, sections, and understanding the views. We discovered in depth as a class how each drawing related to one another. Overall i’m still trying to understand what each part of a drawing is and how to read them. This exercise was a great way to practice and see what we know already.
