BENV1010 Week 3

BENV1010 Week 3

In the studio we practiced drawing orthographic views of the wooden tray we crafted in a class. Using a scale of 1:20mm I completed a top view, side view and cross-sectional view of the tray.

Our third visit to site involved measuring the layout of the site and recording this on graph paper using pencil. 
Each member of our group took turns measuring the dimensions of each section of the site using either a 1 metre wooden stick or estimated steps. As our site was 40m x 40m we used the scale of 1:200 (each 5mm square = 1m).

On a seperate occasion I recorded the pedestrian use of the space and patterns of direction I noticed pedestrians taking. I recorded an average of the three main paths taken by pedestrians. 

Blue path - students leaving from the northern exit of the student residential accomodation
Pink Path - Students leaving/entering from the southern exit of the student residential accomodation
Purple Path - Students walking across the grass to access buildings near by (interestingly using the slope of the grass not the built wooden stairs provided) 

Next I scanned my floor plan on graph paper and uploaded this into Illustrator and used as a guide to trace in the site plan and added in key features, lastly adding in the pedestrian movements.
