Measure Draw

The intent of this exercise is to help students to relook and access thier drafting skills, post lockdown. This is a exercise conducted inbetween semester break, to give the students on site experience of measuring and drawing.

The selcted project is a hundred years old residential building owned by the ancestral royal family. It is a house in a site area about 100 square meter, in city center. The house contains four bedrooms with a living area, kitchen and a dining area. The house also has a dense garden in front with variety of plant species, out which is a huge Margosa tree, hence the house getting the name ‘MARGOSA HOUSE’.

The architectural elements are captured in the drawings on site. Different drawing styles are also introduced, on order to improve the speed and technique of hand drawing.

The excerise mainly focuses on the on site skills that an architect has to have, which unfortunately was missed out due to no related program study for the batch during covid time.
