Fold A1 To A4 Architecture

[Colette]

Architectshave all sorts of mannerisms and processes in place that seem to transcend their time and place. These traditions are passed from one generation to the next and are worth sharing and keeping. The other day, as I was sitting in my 9 square feet of work space, I saw a younger associate folding a set of drawings to get filed away in the binder and they were doing it ALL WRONG! In moments like these, ideas for posts are born and so I took it upon myself to show these younger associates how to properly fold a drawing. Suddenly, the sky split open and a multitude of angels came forth singing praises of the architectural host.

Rotate the folded drawing 90 degrees so that the seam is at the top and open edges are pointed towards the bottom. Take the bottom edge and fold it up to the top, exposing the upper right hand corner of the title block.

Rotate the drawing 90 degrees and repeat the last step. What you know have is a folded up drawing 1/16th the area it was previously with the sheet title information on the outside corner. No longer do you need to open the drawing up to see what sweet goodness lies inside

The intent of folding large architectural or engineering drawings is to allow the lower portion of the title block to be visible without having to open the entire sheet. This allows a stack of drawings to be filed and then easily identified by the sheet number and drawing title.

It is important that all local codes and standards are adhered to. Please consult a professional architect, engineer, consultant, or agency for advice about specific projects, buildings, conditions, codes, and/or regulations.

Thomas Oommen is an architect, urbanist, and currently doctoral candidate at UC Berkeley. His interests are in the politics of architectural and urban form, labor and expertise within the context of South Asia in 20th century and contemporary architecture. This blog is a collage of snapshots - primarily of attempts to think through ideas/issues/problems ( mostly related to architecture) that he cares about.

The design adopts a 4-bay planning approach, distinguishing spaces based on their privacy requirements. An extroverted sit-out, semi-public living spaces, foyer and guest rooms, semi-private dining and play areas, and private bedrooms and kitchen ensure harmonious yet distinct living experiences. Despite the open and interconnected layout, privacy remains a priority, maintaining the intimacy each space demands. The house is reputed for its uneven volumes and playful stripes of lights and shadows. Uneven volumes became a novel experiment that now seamlessly blends with the home's aesthetics, adapting to the humid environment. The ground floor hosts a master bedroom, guest bedroom, living spaces, dining room, and kitchen, with a sky-lit courtyard as a focal point. The open floor plan connects indoor and outdoor areas, with inside-looking windows providing a sense of proximity and accessibility.

The staircase, partially concealed, contributes to the split-level notion, enhancing visual connections. The staircase then connects to the second floating level of the house with a family area and a small study, with deep balconied bedrooms. The seamless interaction and visual connection are achieved through split levels and double heights, embodying the essence of the design. Material selection plays a pivotal role, with beige flooring complemented by leathered and flamed black granites. White walls with teak wooden frames, grey walls, and yellow Eta gold stone cladding create a cohesive aesthetic. Apparently, the alternative arrangement of white walls with stone-cladded walls gives a layered sensation. Externally, grey tandoor stone defines the approach road with intermittent greenery.
