Modern drafting |

Contemporary architecture |
Architecture and Drafting information
Slattery & Acquroff are Australia's leading stairs and timber staircase
specialists.
Three types of contemporary
architecture
include blobitecture, postmodernism, and novelty architecture. Blobitecture
is a style where buildings have an organic, amoeba-shaped, bulging form.
Despite its seeming organicism, blob architecture is unthinkable without
this and other similar computer-aided design programs.
Postmodernity in architecture is characterised by the return of "wit,
ornament and reference" to architecture. The functional and formalized
shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by varied
aesthetics: styles clash, form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of
viewing familiar styles and space are found. Postmodern characteristics
include the use of sculptural forms, ornaments, anthropomorphism and
materials which perform trompe l'oeil.
Novelty architecture is a type of architecture in which buildings and other
structures are given unusual shapes as a novelty, such as advertising,
notoriety as a landmark, or simple eccentricity of the owner or architect.
Many are attractions all by themselves, such as giant animals, fruits, and
vegetables, or replicas of famous buildings.
Another contemporary phenomenon is sustainable design, which is the art of
designing objects and the built environment to comply with the principles of
economic, social, and ecological sustainability. The essential aim of
sustainable design is to produce places, products and services in a way that
reduces use of non-renewable resources, minimizes environmental impact, and
relates people with the natural environment.
Modern Drafting
The basic drafting procedure is to place a piece of paper on a drafting
table. A sliding straightedge known as a t-square is then placed on one of
the sides, allowing it to be slid across the side of the table, and over the
surface of the paper.
In addition, the draftsperson uses several tools to draw curves and circles.
The three main tools used to achieve curves are the compass, the French
curve and the spline. The compass is used for drawing simple arcs and
circles, while the French curve is used for more complex curves. A spline is
a rubber coated articulated metal that can be manually bent to most curves.
Today most drafting is done through CAD, or Computer-Aided Drafting or
Design. CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models and/or 2D
drawings of physical components, but it is also used throughout the
engineering process from conceptual design and layout of products, through
strength and dynamic analysis of assemblies to definition of manufacturing
methods of components.
