ELEVATIONS WITH ARCSITE

            GOLDEN HORIZON BLOCK A                                        ELEVATIONS


After completing the floor plans which you can see in the previous block post I began working on the elevations. Elevations are the exterior faces of the building which can be seen from outside. As all the technical outcomes for my project were of block A these two elevations will be of the North view which is the view from the entrance as well as the West view which is the view from the left side. 




I began by outlining the dimensions. The height is constant which is 18 metres with each floor being 3 metres high. 






I proceeded to draw out the front views of both the terrace and the walls in the North View. This aspect was easy because I knew the measurements of head because I have been working on this project for weeks. 








I also did the elevations simultaneously like how I did the floor plans. Therefore, after completing the outlines of the North View I did the same procedure for the West Elevation. The difference between the North and West Elevations is that for the West you can vividly see the reduction in size due to the staircase and pyramid-like design. This section also included windows which I also included in the design. 






The final step was to outline the measurements accurately using the measure tool which I had selected 
in the screenshot above. As you can see the length of the ground floor is 30 metres, first floor is 26 metres , 2nd floor is 22 metres, 3rd floor is 18 metres, 4th floor is 14 metres and the final floor for block A is 10 metres long. 





Above are the final Elevations of both the North and West views of block A. Carrying out this task was quite easy because I just needed accurate measurements which I already had memorized and listed out for reference. In the next post, I will describe and analyze the process I used in creating my sections which was a fusion of Arc site and AutoCAD

FLOOR PLAN WITH ARCSITE

                                                  FLOOR PLAN Initially, I used a smart draw for my floor plans. However, I experienced technical challenges and the floor plans I made were lost. To improvise I used a different Architecture software named ArcSite in doing this.  caption began by drawing the main features according to the scale I used throughout my project which is 1m:50 cm I then began to add in the various rooms. Some of these rooms are the guest lounge room, the enquiry office as well and the reception area not forgetting the male and female urinals which are all on the ground floor.       ,Next I applied the same method to draw the first floor floor plan. Unlike the ground floor, the first floor has exhibition spaces which are both physical and virtual exhibitions.                 ...

FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR WITH ARCSITE

 CREATION OF FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR This post is a follow-up to the previous Arc site blog. In that blog I explained how I designed the ground floor. In this post, I will describe and analyse the process involved in my, designed the first and second floors of residences in block A.  , First of all I began by drawing the required dimensions for both the first and second floor. In the picture above it is labelled 3rd floor which is a mistake. For the first and second floor I used the same processes so I did them simultaneously. The dimensions for the second floor is 22 metres by 20 metres and for the first floor 26 metres by 20 metres. For the first floor, after marking out the dimensions with the onscreen pencil I used the wall tool to mark out the required walls. On the first floor there are two 4 bedroom apartments. One on the left and one on the right with the space in the middle being the hallway which includes the staircase and elevator  The image above is that of the...

4 BLOCKS CONCEPT WITH SKETCHUP

  SKETCHUP DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS Sketchup is no stranger to me as I began using it during the Digital Art module in November 2023.  Because my sketches and outcomes were mostly based on block A, I wanted to also show  how the three other blocks would fit into the plan.  I began by laying out the land on which the buildings would be built. Afterwards, I used the rectangle tool to draw each of the four blocks. This was followed by me expanding them from a 2d plane to create a 3-dimensional shape.                              I applied the same process here till I had built all the floors required Bear in mind that Block A has 6 floors in total whilst the other 3 have 5. After completing the main shapes I then began to add colours and put in the glass windows using the tool tray. This was not difficult as I already know the basics of sketch up. I repeated the same process for the other blocks til...
