Development of ideas: working drawings

Working drawings contain all the information needed to make the design, including:

dimensions

details of components

materials

assembly instructions

Working drawings are normally done as orthographic projections

Orthographic projection

Orthographic drawings usually consist of a front view, a side view and a plan, but more views may be shown for complex objects with lots of detail. A drawing board and parallel motion or T-square is used to project one view from another.

Orthographic drawing may be done using first angle projection or third angle projection.

An orthographic projection of the shape on the right is shown below.

Assignment

You are working as a junior technician in a design team for an architectural practice. Your company has been approached by a group of self-builders who have acquired an area of land from the local authority on the edge of Guild, a small coastal town. They would like to develop the land into a new community.

Initial reports suggest that there is sufficient space for 2500 houses in this area and the self-build group are looking to develop a master plan for the whole area. The intention is to develop a large scale plan and then sell off plots of land to individuals to allow them to build their own home.

Each person who buys a plot will receive a pack of information that will help them with all stages of the process. You have been asked to produce this pack and present it to the self-builders at their next meeting in 3 weeks. The pack will contain:

A report on how to make the new development into a sustainable community.

A flowchart of the planning process

Designs for one house to include: sketches, elevations, plans and a model.

Guild Guild is a small coastal town that once had a flourishing steel production plant; the town has recently fallen on hard times. An ageing population, closure of the steel plant and a reduction of the fishing fleet to only a few small vessels has seen a huge reduction in investment and economic prosperity in the town. However, the Government has announced that a new high speed rail link will pass very close to the town and the local authority believe that if a new station is built it will act as a catalyst for the regeneration of the area. Guild has approximately 35,000 residents, of which 45% are (65+) and within those of employable age unemployment is higher than the national average. There is one junior school and high school, but the numbers are reducing year on year and there may be a need to close it and send the students to the nearest school 20 miles away. The town has a range of shops but there is no large supermarket and very few leisure facilities. The housing stock is a mixture of traditional houses built around the turn of the 20th Century and one estate of 1950’s pre-fabricated houses the town is laid out in traditional terraces with rear lanes dividing the streets. There is some green space and the town is built on a steep hill down to the harbour and coast. The harbour is home to a very small fishing fleet, and despite the great potential of the harbour and sea front it is all in very poor condition. Crime levels are higher than the national average and the whole area needs significant improvement and investment.

London Festival of Architecture 2016: architects Tomaso Boano and Jonas Prišmontas have created a small pop-up studio to raise awareness of how London's unaffordable rents and education is crippling its creative industries (+ slideshow).

Boano and Prišmontas sought to question whether London will still be a capital of art and design in 10 years time, as the cost of studios for both businesses and individuals rises.

Their simple structure is intended as a model for what the affordable studio of the future might look like.

"London has always represented a hub for creative minds but recently these financial pressures have turned 'creativity' into an industry that can only be joined by people who are able to afford an education and pay the rent without a fixed work income," said the pair.

"We believe that creativity should not be linked to a social status," they added.

"It exists and flourishes inherently within people, and therefore anyone should be granted the opportunity to investigate, experiment, rehearse and play. To do this, we need more affordable spaces."

The studio is named Minima Moralia after a text by German theorist Theodor Adorno, which aims to stimulate reflection on the "damaged lives" of London's creative workforce.

RIBA exhibits three pavilions designed to serve London communities

It has a steel frame with foldable walls made from panels of translucent channelled cladding and oriented stand board fittings.

Boano and Prišmontas propose the studio as a replicable model that could be make use of the capital's disused yards and wasteland, giving designers, artists, and musicians an affordable space to experiment.

It has been installed on Dalston Roof Park throughout the month-long London Festival of Architecture and occupied by local artists.

"This project is a type of urban acupuncture that targets those [disused] places and effectively brings life into them," explained the architects.

"Minima Moralia is more than an architectural installation, it's a programme to target abandoned or misused spaces, effectively bringing life and creativity into them."

The London Festival of Architecture has been running for the whole of June across the capital, but finishes today.

Other projects on show include a fold-up market stall, a pavilion filled with spinning bamboo propellers and a photographic exhibition investigating whether post-war housing meets the needs of the 21st-century family.
