2. Architectural Detailing Function Constructibility Third Edition Aesthetics Edward Allen and Patrick Rand
EVERY BUILDING is laced with a three‐dimensional web of distribution lines for mechanical and electrical services—ductwork, piping, and wiring for heating, cooling, ventilating, hot and cold water, sewage, fire suppression, electrical energy, illumination, telephones, temperature controls, computer networks, intercommunication systems, antennas, and alarm systems. Almost every existing building has been retrofitted with distribution lines for which it was not originally designed, making it a safe bet that every building that is on the drawing boards today will be called upon in the future to house services that we cannot even imagine. In detailing a building, it is important to work with the designers of the mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and communications systems to furnish passages for the service distribution lines, both present and future, that will run through the building. In most cases, these lines should be comfortably concealed; if they are exposed to view, it should be by design, not by default. Generous spaces should be provided for the lines, with sufficient worker access points and workable interconnections from one plane of distribution to another. This will allow economical installation, maintenance, and future change of the services. It will also avoid having the appearance of the building and its details spoiled by the improvised installation of service systems that its designer and detailer did not anticipate. As services in buildings become more dense and complex, design professionals must collaborate to provide an efficient arrangement of compatible services. Water pipes are typically kept distant from power distribution rooms, and telecommunication wires must be isolated by distance or shielded from power distribution wires, to avoid interference. Protocols based on the technical requirements of each system should guide the initial design as well as the ongoing maintenance of these services. Not all electrical services are visible. Unseen networks such as wireless fidelity (WiFi) and cellular telephone networks work best in wide‐open settings. Massive wall, floor, and roof constructions can interfere with these networks. Radiant foils used as facings on rigid insulation can also interfere with some networks. Placement of networks within the particular fabric of the building determines network efficiency. A coordinated effort by engineers, architects, and network service providers can result in the optimal performance of wireless networks. To provide a fully three‐dimensional network of passages, two detail patterns must be combined (see the corresponding sections later in this chapter): Vertical Chase (p. 122) Horizontal Plenum (p. 125) At each point of intersection between chase and plenum, the various services must have space to make the transition from vertical to horizontal. Ductwork, piping, and conduits may be exposed in a building, rather than concealed in chases and plenums, but this will not necessarily lead to more economical construction. Vertical and horizontal spaces will still have to be reserved for these services, and funds must be allocated for additional design time to lay out neat arrangements of lines, additional installation time to permit a high standard of workmanship, and the cost of painting and finishing the lines.

Orthographic Projections More refined project planning and design, which takes place as the designer moves through the design process, requires very specific drawings known as orthographic projections, which include plans, elevations, and sections. These drawings are created by projecting visual information onto an imaginary plane known as the picture plane. This direct projection of an object’s dimensions allows for orthographic projections to retain the true shape and proportion, making these drawings accurate and precise and allowing them to be scaled to exact measurements. orthographic projection creates fragmentary views of an object, resulting in the need for multiple drawings. This means that, because of their fragmentary nature, orthographic projections become parts of a system and are dependent on one another. By their nature, orthographic projections appear flat and lack the three-dimensional quality of perspective drawings. one way to visualize orthographic projection is to imagine a small building (in this case a writer’s studio) enclosed in a transparent box. Each transparent plane of the enclosing box serves as the picture plane for that face of the object as the drawings are created. The view through the top plane of the enclosing box is called a plan (in this case a roof plan). In a plan view, only those elements seen when looking directly down at the object through the picture plane are drawn, as shown in Figure 1-12a. The views through the picture planes that form the sides of the enclosing box are called elevations. Exterior elevations depict only what is visible when viewed directly through the picture plane on that side or portion of the building (Figure 1-12a). A section portrays a view of the object or building with a vertical or horizontal plane sliced through it and removed. one way of understanding section views is to imagine that a very sharp plane has been inserted into the object or building, cutting neatly into it and revealing the structure and complexity of 22 the object’s form. Most building sections are drawn as though the picture plane has been inserted into the building vertically, neatly exposing structural elements and interior details, as shown in Figure 1-12b. Floor plans are drawn as though a horizontal cut has been made in the building (typically 3 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 6 inches [1067 mm to 1676 mm] above the floor), as shown in Figure 1-12b. Cutting into the building at this location exposes the thickness of walls and other structural elements and shows windows, doors, and sometimes f loor finishes and furnishings—all of which are located below the location of the cut. one way to understand the creation of interior elevations is to picture yourself inside the room you are drawing. Imagine standing inside a room facing one wall directly, with a large sheet of glass (the picture plane) inserted between you and the wall. The interior elevation can then be created by outlining (projecting onto the picture plane) the significant features of the wall, as shown in Figure 1-12c. Each wall of the room can be drawn in elevation by means of projecting what is visible as you face that wall directly.
