The output of practices is a set of drawings which are part of the building documentation for building permit application. The outputs do take up the form of studies or drawings. 1. Introduction to practices. Individual assignment – Detached house with the basement and 2 stories above ground level. Plans of above and underground stories given modular coordination and general requirements of typology. Note: The outputs of follow-up practices are to respect the individual assignment. 2. Plans of 1st basement, 1st, and second floors. 3. Stairway design. 4. Horizontal load-bearing structures – Structural solution of 1st and 2nd-floor slabs. 5. Supplementing the floor plans with the stairway. 6. Design of foundations. Placing building on the terrain. Site plan. 7. Section A-A. 8. Design of Queen post roof truss. 9. Design of warm flat roof. 10. Supplementation of Section A-A with the Queen post roof truss and warm flat roof. 11. Elevations building. Window installation into an opening. 12. Floor composition design. 13. Submission and final evaluation of presented work.
