The Project
Final DrawingsFinal floor plan with square footages and key based on the main areas of the building Final north front elevation (click to zoom because it is quite large) Overall I learned quite a bit about time management, accuracy in the real world, and a familiarity with how to produce final drawings. It is more than just drawing lines in a computer. You need to make sure that everything lines up between the views. You need to have precise dimensions for repetitive components, otherwise being 1/4" off adds up to half a foot after the element has been copied a bunch. You need to alter the line weights based on the scale of the final product to ensure readability and provide a hierarchy. You need to have a complete spatial understanding of the building to accurately draw the interior, otherwise the spaces might not relate to each other correctly. I also realized the importance of taking plenty of pictures to document the real life project, as inevitably you will forget to measure a detail and need to reference it later (or have an incredibly organic portion that is impossible to measure that you will need to trace). But most of all you need patience, because it can get very dull staring at a computer and drawing for hours on end with no break. I do not regret taking part in this project, but it will be nice to go back to a more design oriented task now to get back to creativity and problem solving.
