Students will explore and understand the application and complexity of drawing convention and skills is applied in the practice as a means of communication. Objectives of Project • To implement observation skills and be able to record, organize, interpret and describe a variety of issues via visual communications effectively on site • To introduce the techniques of drawing in the built environment practice. Learning Outcomes • Relate the basic principles and conventions of drawing skill as a communication tool in the construction industry. • Apply drawing as a means of communication in order to express three-dimensional space and object into two- dimensional orthographic drawings. Tasks 1. In a group (6 in a group – 115 students), students will be given a site within Taylors University Lakeside Campus according to your tutors. Students will select a space of about 10mx10m (not more) from the chosen level. Spaces chosen cannot overlap with your group member

Each preliminary drawing must be signed by lecturers during tutorial session (your progress marks would be determined here) 5. The submitting documents should be between 5- 7 pieces of A3 paper. All must be compiled and arranged accordingly and to be stapled together PRESENTATION DRAWINGS (BOARDS) MUST BE SUBMITTED ON 25th NOVEMBER 2014 6.
