Sketches

The sketch above and to the left is the mock up wall on Perry Street. It is the wall section through cast stone. It is mainly the bottom of the wall. The materials in the sketch are cast stone, cmu block, gypsum board for water protection, a black tarp located on the gypsum board, and bolts that held the cast stone in place connected to the gypsum board and cmu block wall. The sketch above and to the right is the wall section through the hokie stone. It is mainly the top of the mock up wall. The materials include hokie stone, cmu block, the gypsum board, the black tarp located on the gypsum board, and the bolts connecting everything together securely. The hokie stone is located on top of the cast stone in the wall mock up on Perry Street.
The sketch above and to the left is the wall section through the door for my room in Pritchard Hall. This is a basic wall with not much on it with the inside of my room to the left and the hallway to the right of the wall. The materials on it are the cmu block with concave joints that makes up the header, the electrical box, the metal door frame, and the door latch on the door frame. The sketch above and to the right is the wall section of my room through the window. To the left of the wall is inside my room while to the right is outside my room. The materials in the sketch include the concrete header, the cmu block with concave joints to form the wall, the tile ledge that is located right under the window, the window unit, the wall heater, and the knob that is located on the wall heater.
The sketch to the left is my bedroom plan that is located in Pritchard Hall. In the floor plan includes the door entrance, a sink, two closets, the wall heater, and the window unit. The materials that I included are cmu block for the walls, the window unit, the wall heater, and the wood that makes the closets.
The sketch above and to the left is a detail of the steel tread pan for the stairway between the 3rd and 4th floors. This makes up the steps for the stairway. The steel tread pan forms the concrete into the form of the steps once it is poured. The materials in the sketch are the steel tread pan and the concrete that is poured in it. The sketch above and to the left is the detail of the landing for the stairway. The detail shows the different materials that make it up. These materials include the steel tread pan, a steel C to support the landing, a steel brace that is the width of the landing, a little metal bracket against the wall, and concrete to fill the landing.
The floor plan of the stairway is to the left. The stairway starts from the 3rd floor and goes to the 4th floor. The materials in the sketch include a door to the 4th floor, concrete slabs for the landings, concrete for the steps, and steel tread pans to support the concrete poured for the steps. The arrow in meant to showing it is going up to the 4th floor.




The sketch above is the stairwell section. This sketch was important to get as much as I could into it to show how the step area is constructed. The materials include steel tread pan, concrete, steel handrail on the wall, a sprinkler at the top, a light that is right below the sprinkler, a fire alarm parallel to the top of the door, the door frame, the guard right next to the steps to protect the wall from damages, and cmu block to show that the stairs are just not floating in space. The cmu block makes up the whole wall, but I put in only 1 corner so that the observer could see the rest of the sketch without getting distracted.

This is a sketch of the third floor drip pan to the steel decking. It is a HVAC system with various technological pieces stemming off and on it. The materials that I can identify are steel rods, steel I beam, thermometer, the steel drip pan, the duck work, the piping that is insulted, metal pipes for the HVAC unit, steel decking, and a handle to shut the system on and off.
