methods of documentation and measured drawings
Consisting of 19 people and our tutor, my team and I went to Alor Setar, Kedah to do this project. Our site is the traditional houses in Kedah which is the Surau and the Rumah Bumbung Lima
This is a short semester that lasts for 2 to 3 months, aims to provide a foundation and understanding for us to develop the principles of building preservation and conservation by recording it in three documentation methods; measured drawings, written documentation and photographic documentation, photobook and report. In groups of 14 to 20, as a group, we document the building historically and architecturally significant buildings in the form of as-built drawings. Fieldworks were conducted to create complemented with a report that explains about the background, history, concept, style construction technics and ornamentation of the building.
