Construction Documents in Process

Studio: Technical Drawings

This is what I'm doing 24 hours a day 6 days a week: mastering the skills needed to translate our designs into meticulously drafted AutoCAD drawings.


Just 2 of 15 pages I've been working on over the last couple weeks.
This is a detail of a fountain I've designed. It will be made of a sandy concrete and glass tiles, the water will spill over the rim in four directions. This ties it into a more elaborate 4 directional fountain in the ceremonial west courtyard.

A first attempt at dimensioning, it's amazing how easy it can be once in AutoCAD! My next task will be adding in some base lines and text to further explain the dimensions.
I am creating a forest floor in these smaller Courtyards. This is done through more random planting arrangements. The next step is to go back in and add a master list and flagging specific plants.

            Overall it's nice to be making some headway on this project. As a team we printed our first rough construction set and the teacher is redlining it as we speak. I look forward to posting more drawings as they get closer to being finished.
