METHODOLOGY
Literature review Data collection Data analysis
LITERATURE REVIEW
-Architecture is an art and science of designing and erecting building and other physical structures. In relation to buildings, architecture has to do with the planning, designing and constructing form. An intelligent building begins with intelligent architecturethe shape, the building enclosure, and the way the building appears and functions.
Importance of architectural design.
Architectural design is used as the engineers languages since it provide the coordination between them so as to ensure that the appropriate structure is built. It reflects the ideas workable structure/building and structural art is achieved.
ARCHITECTURAL CONSIDERATION.
In Architectural designing we consider; The site plan The floor plan The roof plan The elevation and section of the structure
o A site plan include all the existing and proposed conditions on a given site o A Floor plan shows the horizontal view of the building taken at an appropriate level o The elevation is mostly applied to the exterior part of the building structure o The building section is a cut through the building in which the interior parts are shown.
BUILDING PLAN
-It is the arrangement of various units of building in all floors.
LEVELLING.
Branch of survey which deals with the method of expressing the relative height of any number of points, above or below some plane of reference called the datum. Back sight:-this is the first reading taken during levelling Fore sight:-this is the last reading taken during levelling. Intermediate sight:-it is the reading taken between fore sight and back sight Bench mark:-permanent point whose height from the datum is known Reducing level:-distance between the data to the ground level
DATA COLLECTION.
o o o o o Rate orphans in Tanzania Current number of orphans at the centre Surveying the site and see all the physical features of the exist Measuring the site dimensions Leveling the site
MEASUREMENT OF THE SITE. The measurement of the site is 51m length and 35m width, while the proposed area has 46x35m. The current number of orphans is 125 children(74 boys) and (51 girls)
