SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Objectives should be able to understand the certain topics included in the report which: Be able to incorporate the topics in practices in their lives. DISCUSSION **BUBBLE DIAGRAM** **Bubble diagrams** are systems of lines and circles used in architecture to show relationships between functional areas of a program to develop an architectural plan. **[Importance of bubble Diagram] Spatial Organization** Develops a strong foundation in spatial reasoning and design ** efficiency and iteration** This includes assisting with furniture arrangement and defining the flow inside a space, resulting in a harmonious and functional interior setting. ** concept development** Allow designers to experiment with layouts of space without regard for dimension or detail ** Communication tool** Offer a visual language for architects, clients, and stakeholders to communicate design intent effectively. **[Components of Bubble diagram]** [Labels/Texts/Symbols] [Bubble Sizes] [Bubble Colors] [Shading/Patterns] [Line Types] **SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN** A **site development plan** is an architectural document that serves as a blueprint for a property, illustrating its overall layout and configuration. The site plan details how a building site will be oriented, including structural elements and landscape features. **[Importance of site development plan]** Maximizes Land Use Ensures Safety and Compliance Improves Functionality Enhances Aesthetics **[Elements]** Property Lines Setbacks Parking Current and Suggested Conditions Locations of Signs and Surrounding Streets **FLOOR PLAN** **Floor plans** are scale drawings that illustrate the relationships between rooms, spaces, and physical features as seen from above. Floor plans make it easier to determine whether the space is appropriate for its intended use, work through any potential challenges, and redesign before moving on to more complex planning or construction stages. **[Importance of floor plan]** Visualizes Space Use Guides Construction Enhances Functionality Facilitates Communication **[Key Elements of a floor plan]** Walls Doors and Windows Stairs Room Labels Dimensions **ROOF PLAN** A **roof plan** is a scaled drawing or diagram of a proposed roof development containing dimensions of the entire roof structure, including shape, size, design and placement of all materials, ventilation, drainage, slopes, valleys and more. **[Importance of a roof plan]** Guides Construction Ensures Structural Integrity Coordinates Design Elements Aids in Cost Estimation **[key elements OF A roof plan]** Roof Outline Roof Slopes and Pitch Materials Eaves, Overhangs, and Gutters Roof Openings Dimensions and Scale Drainage Plan **[Types of roof to consider]** **Flat Roof** -- Common in areas with little rain or snow.  **Gable Roof** -- One of the most common roof types: constructed with two sloping sides that meet to form a ridge. **Hip Roof** - A roof with all four sides slope downward from the peak. **Mansard Roof** - A four-sided roof with two slopes on each side, creating extra space.  **Shed Roof** - A single sloping roof, often used for extensions or small structures. **ELEVATION** An **elevation** is a precise and detailed representation of one vertical plane or face of a building or structure. It offers a flat, two-dimensional view of this particular side, capturing critical design elements, architectural features, and the overall aesthetic composition.  [I**mportance of elevation**] Defines the Building's Appearance Communicates Design Intent Guides Construction Ensures Compliance **[Elements of an elevation]** Facade Details Vertical Dimensions Materials and Finishes  Floor Levels and Grades Roof Details Architectural Features Annotations and Labels **[Types of an elevation]** **Front Elevation:** The main view, often showing the entrance and street-facing side. ** Rear Elevation:** The back view, typically less ornate. ** Side Elevations:** Right and left views showing side facades and depth perspective. ** Cross-Section Elevations:** Vertical cuts through the building to reveal interior relationships. **SECTION** A **section** is an orthographic projection of an object as if it would appear cut vertically by an intersecting plane.  **[Importance of a section]** Visualizes Internal Layout Shows Structural Elements Guides Construction Ensures Compliance **[key elements]** Cut Line Floor and Ceiling Levels Structural Elements Room Relationships Vertical Dimensions Materials and Finishes Annotations and Symbols **[Types of section]** Longitudinal Section Cross Section (Transverse) Detail Section **DOORS AND WINDOW SCHEDULE** **Door and window schedules** are critical components of an architectural drawing set. They provide an itemized list of all the doors and windows within the project. **[Importance of doors and windows] [schedule]** Ensures Accuracy in Construction Facilitates Ordering and Procurement Simplifies Communication Enhances Project Management **[Key Elements of a roof plan]** Mark or Tag Number: Type and Style Dimensions Material and Finish Location Hardware Glazing Details (Windows) Fire Rating (if applicable) Additional Remarks **REFERENCES (WEBSITE LINK) Bubble Diagram** **https://illustrarch.com/articles/8 702-bubble-diagram-in architec ture.html** **Site Development Plan** **https://iskalo.com/insights/site planning 101/\#:\~:text=A%20sit e%20development%20plan%20i s,structural%2** **0elements%20to%20landscape %20features.** **https://marsh-partners.com/blog /what-is-a-site-plan-10-** **characteristics-of-a-good-site-pl an-to-set-your-next-developmen t-up for-success** **Floor Plan** **https://www.lucidchart.com/pag es/floor-plans** **https://www.designingbuildings. co.uk/wiki/Floor\_plan** **Roof Plan** **https://cedreo.com/blog/roof-fu ndamentals/** **https://www.iko.com/blog/hip-ro of-vs-gable-roof/** **Elevation** **https://www.kreo.net/news-2d-ta keoff/what-is-an-elevation-in ar chitecture** **https://www.designingbuildings. co.uk/wiki/Elevations** **Section** **https://archimash.com/articles/p lan-section-and-elevation-in ar chitecture/\#:\~:text=A%20sectio n%20is%20an%20orthographic, %2** **C%20windows%2C%20doors%2 0and%20openings.** **Doors and Windows Schedule** **https://layer.team/guides/the-do or-and-window-schedule-proces s explained** **https://detail-library.co.uk/what-i s-a-door-schedule/**
