Week 14 Additional Task
Make three drawings that demonstrate your building’s significance

By now you will have arrived at a good understanding of why your building is a good example
of its type, and why it occupies a significant place in architectural history. This week, you are
to identify and create three drawings that will demonstrate the building’s significance, and
which will illuminate points in your text. It may be a façade; it may be a plan; it may be the
section, or a significant detail; it may be either 2- or 3-dimensional; black-and-white or colour.
Now you understand your building, it is for you to decide what makes it important.
Your drawings must be hand-drawn by you (in the same way that you draw your sketchbook).
They will almost certainly be based on published material (unless you drew them in front of
the building itself), so – as with all academic submissions - you must cite your sources in the
conventional way. For your final submission, you should place your drawings in appropriate
places in your text, but for now you are to scan them into one pdf document and post them in
the appropriate place and at the appropriate time onto PebblePad.
