A DETAIL AND A SECTION OF THE BUILDING ARE SHOWN RESPECTIVELY IN THE PICTURES BELOW. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A DESIGNER TO CONSIDER THE CONSTRUCTABILITY OF A BUILDING DURING THE DESIGN STAGE, THEREFORE, THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE DRAWINGS ARE NECESSARY.

THIS DESIGN WAS DONE BY ME AS MY 400 LEVEL DESIGN EXAMINATION. THE FORM OF THE HOTEL BUILDING REPRESENTS AN ANT. WE CAN SEE FROM THE RIGHT-HAND ELEVATION SHOWN. THE EXPOSED STEEL FRAMES REPRESENT THE LEGS OF THE ANT.

FROM THE WORKSHOP DRAWING SHOWN ON THE LEFT, WE CAN SEE THE PRESENCE OF GRID LINES; THESE ARE USED TO GUIDE THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AS TO WHERE HE CAN PLACE HIS STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

APPENDIX6

SOME 3D PROPOSALS DONE BY ME, USING REVIT ARCHITECTURE SOFTWARE PROGRAMME

MY KEEN INTREST IN ARCHITECTURE LIES IN THE AESTHETIC QUALITY OF THE BUILDING, THE INTERNAL COMFORT OF THE BUILDING AND THE ‘BUILDABILITY’ OF THE DESIGN. THESE ARE THE FACTORS I USE AS MY GUIDE DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS.OUTSIDE ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE, I ALSO LOVE TO DRAW (COMIC DRAWINGS) AND LISTEN TO MUSIC.
