About this lesson,
Welcome to the first lesson of the architectural state exam preparation course! In this lesson, titled "Triad Lesson: Drawing Solution, Regulations, and Mathematics," we'll cover the foundations on which we'll build your preparation.
Lesson Objectives
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
· Understand the basic rules you need to know to start studying for the exam:
or DM 1444/68
or Building Regulations
or NTA
or URBAN PLANNING STANDARDS
· Identify the different exam topics:
or Urban planning theme
or Architectural Theme
· Use project scales:
or Scale 1:1000/1:500
o Scale: 1:200/1:100
or 1:50 scale
or 1:20 scale
· Distinguish between surface types:
or Land Area (SF)
or Territorial Surface Area (TS)
· Apply the mathematical design formulas:
o Calculating the area
o Volume calculation
o Calculation of indices
· Understand public and private constraints:
or Road constraints
or Landscape constraints
· Perform practical calculations for design.
Lesson Plan
