The long section presents the main structural elements and the building construction system used for the new building. The architect created this façade with coloured finishing.

Architectural drawing on tracing paper includes a cross section in scale 1:100, showing the building construction system and its main structural elements. There is an outline plan, scale 1:1000, indicating where this cross section has been taken. Cross section shows the differences of the interior design between the traditional building and the modern interior design for the new building, simplicity vs heavy details.

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.

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.

Architectural drawing on tracing paper showing the first part of both the north west elevation to garden and the long section in scale 1:100, in which this item has to be attached with the next item from the right hand side to complete the whole elevation and section. All the architectural details of the new building showing the modern style compared with the traditional style of the existing building, especially with the design of the windows. The architect chose to present these drawings with coloured finishing. There is an outline plan in scale 1:1000 to identify where the long section has been taken.

A copy of an architectural drawing on sheet paper related to the thesis project showing proposals for approaches to the University front entrances and addresses as drawing No.1. Although there is no reference number on this sheet, it seems like it has the same reference as the previous item. It shows the axis of main building complex.

Architectural drawing on tracing paper includes a cross section through the courtyard, in scale 1:100, showing the height of the indoor spaces. It also shows the inner façade of the rear side of the new building, which refers to the modern style of the architectural movement at the time of designing this project. There is an outline plan, scale 1:1000, indicating where this cross section has been taken. This cross section comes with coloured finishing.

A copy of an architectural drawing on sheet paper related to the thesis project showing section A-A of the Wellington Church. It shows the architectural details of the main structural materials and construction system. This item has another section but without a title, however, its gives the architectural details of the building structure and comes from the original document designed by T. L. Watson.

Architectural drawing on a tracing paper showing the ground floor plan, scale 1:200, of a new graduation hall at the University of Strathclyde. The ground plan design shows the main functional spaces for the new hall: the main hall, professional entrance, the building entrance, kit staff, stage staff, chair staff, and other services. For the exterior spaces, the plan shows the external spaces attached with the new hall, like: permanent exhibition, lecture theatre, temporary exhibition, bar, reception, and university bookshop. It also shows the design of the landscape.

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.

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.

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.

A free hand architectural sketch on tracing paper using Rotring black ink pen and coloured markers related to the initial study of the school project, illustrating:

• the zoning concept showing the connection between series of events (learning spaces, home bases) linked with the commercial spaces and special events,
• corridor concept emphasis on spaces not on corridor,
• spaces for events located in different arrangements according to the central circulation route,
• street concept developed to create most open arrangement,
• perspective effects caused by different shapes of the corridor ceiling and how they could make the "mentally handicapped" children even more frightening,
• sectional possibilities relating to the tenements on the opposite side of the street,
• the idea of designing a building as a street to "give practice in coping with external environment, only inside".
