For this activity my class was divided into two groups and had to distinguish the differences between each of the drawings in order to tell witch building they belonged to. My group was given six drawings of buildings, there sections,plans, and elevations. By doing this this activity I learned that some buildings and there elevations can look similar but you have to pay close attention to the details to see materials used, scales, and the design of the structure. Only then you will see that they are two completely different structures. For example, you may have two images in black and white, are the same height and shape so you can hardly tell them apart but as you look closely you can see that the scale of the windows don’t match up also to realize that the patterns are different one has designs that represent Gothic architecture and the other has more modern designs. This makes the two structures different from one another.
