MEASURED DRAWINGS AND MODEL

FWU CHANG TRADING, MELACCA, MALAYSIA.

​

INTRODUCTION

​

The project will be carried out throughout the semester where students will be assigned to measure and document a historical / architecturally significant or heritage building and translate all the data into a set of drawings. Each group will have to only measure one particular building assigned by the course coordinator. Apart from doing the measuring exercise on site, students will also need to do additional research in order to piece together all the important data about the building. The model will provide additional physical information of the building.

​

​

OBJECTIVES
