3. You are then required to investigate and analyse the key building through the drawings
(i.e. floor plan, sections, elevations etc). Your analysis should be focusing on the following
criterias only;
and how these intentions are translated via diagramming architectural principles.
4. Based on your analysis, you need to formulate your findings into a set of 5 analysis
diagrams and 5 diagrammatic models (8 x 8 x 8 cm). The diagrams and models should
be precise and informative to express the analysis of the ideas hidden in the key building.
