Perspective Drawing Projects
Published in Dunsi Dai, Progressive Perspective Drawing for Theatrical Scene Design, 2021
Use a scale ruler to draft a floor plan of the room in 1/2" scale. The floor plan needs to show the room layout and all of the major elements of the room in scale, including the size of the room, the locations of the window, the door, the closet, etc., as well as the locations of the major furniture pieces such as bed, desk, chair, etc. Grid the floor plan to match it with the grid size used in the perspective grid.
Plan types

A floor plan is a drawing to scale with a view from above (in “plan view”) showing the relationship between rooms, spaces, and other features at one level. Dimensions are usually wall-to-wall lengths. Cabinets and other features below four feet high are shown with solid lines, and symbols are used to denote sinks and toilets. Dashed lines are used to locate upper cabinets, duct chases, and perhaps changes in ceiling heights. Floor plans also contain notes about finishes or construction methods. Doors and windows are numbered or lettered.

Floorplan design is critical in ensuring proper access, traffic flow, and utilization. Because of the high construction costs of any CCL, facilities should be designed with expansion in mind. The following elements incorporated into the basic structure will greatly facilitate future expansion with minimal cost at the time of the initial construction: Utilities may be sized and located for ready connection and support of additionsThe CCL shape should allow for expansionMeans of access to additions may be built-inThe foundation and other structural elements should be compatible with future expansion areas
Describing the geometric difference of architectural forms in three primary shapes of circle, triangle and square
Published in Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022
This study uses two-dimensional shapes of building facades and floor plans to explore the shape properties of architectural buildings. The facade is formed by gazing at a building in a specific location, providing the aesthetic value of the atmosphere and the intuitive interpretation of the building’s functionality. The floor plan accommodates the functional arrangement of the spatial structure and the visual perception inside a building. Based on the two types of figures, we propose the methods for evaluating both types of architectural form as the degree to which the morphological features of these three primary shapes are embedded. Exploring the shape properties of circularity (C), equilateral triangularity (T) and squareness (S) based on the three shapes will be the central theme of this study. It will also be introduced that the functions derived from these measurements can also quantitatively describe shape features globally, such as the deformation ratio (Deformity) and the most dominant shape with its ratio (Dominance).

Moreover, the data set proposed in this study includes angled and curved spaces as well as orthogonal space examples. Floor plans define as a polygon and divide into three main headings: rectangular, orthogonal and non-rectangular (Shekhawat & Duarte, 2019). The plan schemes used in this data set are represented in Figure 2 below according to this classification. If each room and the overall plan is rectangular, then it is called rectangular plan (Figure 2(1)). L-shaped and T-shaped spaces take place in orthogonal plan sets (Figure 2(2)). The other angled or curved plans are called non-rectangular (Figure 2(3)).
