Date

you take a building, lit o the

oo and strip away the outside

walls, what you see inside is a

series o blocks, or rooms. Each

o these fts together to make

up the whole building. Here

we take a look in detail at the

blocks that make up your home.

nstructions Rooms

Cheque

Start by standing in front of the wall

where your bedroom window is. Take

a piece of A4 paper and fold it in half.

On one side of the paper sketch the

outline of your home as you see it.

This drawing is called an elevation.

Now, imagine you have stripped away

the side of the house you have just

drawn, and you can see into the rooms

with a wall facing you. Think about which

rooms face this side of the house and

draw what you think this would look like

on the blank side of the folded paper.

Make sure you label each room, for

example your bedroom. Add some

furniture and maybe a member of your

family.

This drawing is called a section.

Unfold your piece of paper and compare

the two sketches. Can you see how the

pieces of the puzzle t together?

What is this room called? 

What do you do in this room?

Turn these fgures into someone y ou know by add ing clothes, hair or glasses

Re-draw each room on card,

dding 2cm wide panels to

ach edge. Adding tabs will

elp you x the panels together

o make the box. Before cutting

he room out, write some

nformation on the side panels.

Draw pictures of the

eople who use this room.

Cut out with a tab on the

ottom, and insert.

Size up the section 

Remember how you used your arms and feetto measure your bedroom? You can do the

same with each room in your section drawing.

Go back inside and work out the dimensions

of the other rooms in your sketch. You need

to do this as if you are looking at them from

the side, so take the following measurements:

n  The length along the outside wall that

you stripped away; and

n  The height, try comparing this to your

height, for example the room might be

1.5 times higher than you.

Make a note of these measurements

on your sketch.

Set the scale

If maths is your thing and you completed the

scale drawing task in My space, then try the

next task for size – making a scale drawing

of your section sketch.

To recap, if your drawing is 50 times smaller

than your actual house, the scale will be 1:50. 

So if the wall is as long as 13.5 x your foot,

which is 20cm, then 13.5 x 20 = 270cm.

Divide this by 50 and the wall in your scale

drawing will by 5.4cm.
