This project is carried out throughout the semester where we were assigned to measure and document a historical / heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings and a model, that was Istana Negara assigned by the lecturer. Apart from doing the measuring exercise on site, we also did additional research in order to piece together all the important data about the building. It is an on-site exercise where we executed fieldwork and hands-on measurement exercise.

Upon successful completion of the subject, we were able to recommend the appropriate method of architectural historic documentation as well as recognize and recall techniques of measured drawing and documentation. Besides, we could also explain the as-built building constructions, architectural details and elements of the site assigned.

In this project, we submitted 2 set of A1 sized drawings (one with dimensions and one without dimensions) and 2 sets of A3 sized drawings (both without dimensions) comprising the following;

• Key plan

• Location plan

• Site plan incorporating the roof plan

• Floor plans

• Elevations

• Sections

• Site sections

• Exploded isometric / axonometric

• A physical model to show the construction / structure of the buildings using ONLY balsa wood OR white model boards as either one section OR an open-able full model

• Details – construction, architectural, decorative elements / ornaments
