Content and Structure

Scope and content

Architectural drawing on tracing paper related to Housing design/project 2 represents Block 4P flats and their drawing details including ground, first, and second floor plans all in scale 1:50. Each floor has two symmetrical flats. Each flat consists of two bedrooms, living room and dining room with an open kitchen, and two bathrooms. A central main entrance connects the main street with the back yard including the services shafts as well as showing the design of the flooring tiles. The cross section shows the floor height and the main staircase. The architect used the ceiling of the main entrance to add some decoration using some hanging plants to give the central volume a sense of environmental quality effect. The section also shows the main structural elements but without any indications of material types.
