A school for the "mentally handicapped": Site plan and site section, final design
Architectural drawing on tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen representing the site plan and section (final design) in scale 1:500. It shows how the architect translated his initial strategy into the final design. The site plan shows the main building outline, the indoor landscape (playground), the new car park, the main entrance to the site, and other themes related to surrounding buildings. While the site section (the site plan has no indication of where the architect took this section) shows the height of the new school comparing it to the height of the surrounding buildings.

A school for the "mentally handicapped": Ground floor plan, final design
Architectural drawing on tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen representing the ground floor plan (final design) in scale 1:100. It shows how the architect translated his initial strategy into the final design. The ground floor plan includes the main building entrance, street entrance, the indoor spaces, vertical circulation, and other services. It also shows the main structural elements: cylinder columns, and load bearing walls. The ground floor comes with the full details of the indoor spaces with their furniture and the outdoor spaces and their relationships with the exterior elevations. Here, the architect names these spaces as: children's shop, story telling, library, and tea shop. The architect tried to design the school as a clear box from the outside, however, the interior design seems like more free space with curved lines making the movement smooth for the pupils.

A school for the "mentally handicapped": Upper floor plan, final design
Architectural drawing on tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen representing the upper floor plan (final design) in scale 1:100. It shows how the architect translated his initial strategy into the final design. The upper floor plan includes the indoor spaces (some are in double volume like the viewing space), vertical circulation, and other services. It also shows the main structural elements: cylinder columns, and load bearing walls. The upper floor comes with the full details of the indoor spaces with their furniture and the outdoor spaces and their relationships with the exterior elevations. Here, the architect names these spaces according to the pupils ages: 3-8 years, 8-12 years, 12-15 years, and 15-16 years. This floor walls are designed as semi-circular, both the exterior and the interior walls.

A school for the "mentally handicapped": Street elevation, final design
Architectural drawing on a tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen representing the street elevation (final design) in scale 1:200, however, it doesn't indicate which street this elevation is facing. The architect used a technique to render this elevation, mainly walls with horizonal lines leaving the window glasses as plain transparent areas. He also made the trees as transparent figures to show the architectural elements behind them.
Platt, Christopher
Architectural drawing on tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen representing the entrance elevation (east-final design) in scale 1:100. The architect used a technique to render this elevation, mainly walls with horizonal lines leaving the window glasses as plain transparent areas. He also used Zip-A-Tone for window shadings. The same technique has been used to make the trees transparent figures to show the architectural elements behind them.
The elevation design is based on the idea of solid and transparent between ground floor and upper floor giving the sense of lifting the upper floor by the cylinder columns, while the central glass dome appeared to be the focal point.
The cross section (scale 1:100) shows the structural system and constructional elements supporting the different indoor spaces and the variety of shapes relating to the functions of those spaces. On the detail section (scale 1:20), there are details of the constructional elements from foundations, floors, columns (externally and externally), walls, and all the finishing materials.

A school for the "mentally handicapped": South elevation, North elevation, and Long section
Architectural drawing on tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen representing the final design of the south elevation and the north elevation in scale 1:100. The architect used a technique to render this elevation, mainly walls with horizonal lines leaving the window glasses as plain transparent areas. He also used Zip-A-Tone for window shadings. The same technique has been used to make the trees transparent figures to show the architectural elements behind them. The design of both elevation is based on the idea of solid and transparent between ground floor and upper floor giving the sense of lifting the upper floor by the cylinder columns, while the central glass dome appears to be the focal point.
The long section (scale 1:100) shows the structural system and constructional elements supporting the different indoor spaces and the variety of shapes relating to the functions of those spaces. The architect used figures to show the scale of the school building in relationship to people.

Strathclyde University's new graduation hall: Elevations, and section
Architectural drawing on tracing paper consisting of the elevation of the new hall from the Cathedral Square façade, and from the west elevation, all in scale 1:200. The Cathedral square elevation shows the new hall from Castle Street presenting the external view of the new hall with Barony Hall and how the new architectural style differs from the traditional building style. There are no indications about the material types used within the new design. The main idea of the new hall is in its building height which did not dominant the skyline of the campus building and Barony Hall which is still standing to be the focal point of the site. The cross section shows the main hall and its functional spaces in its vertical dimension with the structural elements of the interior columns and the central skylight.
