Pancyprian TS Arch. Drawing study plan

Set up a personal lineweight standard sheet: draw the same simple wall corner at 1:50 using at least four distinct pen weights and label each weight with its typical use (cut, visible, hidden, grid/centre)

Redraw a small room plan freehand from a measured sketch, keeping linework crisp and lettering consistent with a single-stroke technical alphabet

Draft a full title block and drawing frame to the A3 sheet convention you will use for all later deliverables

Produce a clean orthographic set of a simple rectangular box with one opening: plan, front elevation and side elevation, projected correctly with no mismatched edges

Letter 20 standard architectural terms (wall, lintel, sill, jamb, soffit, spandrel, etc.) in uppercase technical lettering on a practice sheet

Cut a horizontal section through a two-room plan at 1:50, showing cut walls poché, openings, sills and door swings correctly

Draw a vertical section through the same building showing foundation line, floor build-up, wall, lintel, roof pitch and eaves

Identify and label the building elements visible in your own section (strip footing, damp-proof course, wall leaf, lintel, purlin, rafter, fascia)

Check projection consistency between the section and the previously drawn elevations, correcting any height mismatches

Annotate the section with level markers for finished floor, window head and ridge

Apply the standard dimensioning rules on your 1:50 plan: dimension lines outside the drawing, consistent chain and overall dimensions, tick or arrow terminators used consistently

Convert a set of real measurements into three working scales (1:50, 1:100, 1:20 detail) and verify each by measuring the printed result against a scale bar

Draw and label a graphic scale bar for 1:50 and 1:100 on the sheet margin

Add room names, areas and floor level annotations to the plan in a legible hierarchy of text sizes

Introduce a simple key or legend for hatches, symbols and abbreviations used on the sheet

Detail a window opening at 1:5: reveal, frame, glazing line, sill with drip, lintel and plaster finish, all hatched and labelled

Detail a door opening at 1:5 including threshold, frame fixing, jamb and head, with a door schedule entry for that door

Design and draw a straight stair in plan and section at 1:50, calculating riser and going for a stated floor-to-floor height and checking the result against the 2R+G comfort rule

Draw the stair detail at 1:20 showing nosing, tread, riser, stringer and handrail height

Compile a short written element schedule (doors, windows, stair) listing size, position and material

Analyse a brief for a small two-bedroom house and produce a written adjacency and zoning diagram separating day and night zones, public and private

Draw three alternative concept plans at 1:100 and compare them against circulation efficiency, daylight access and furniture fit

Select one scheme and develop it to a 1:50 plan with furniture, door swings and window positions resolved

Test the plan against minimum room sizes and circulation widths, noting any dimension that fails

Draw a roof plan at 1:100 showing pitch, ridge, valleys, gutters and downpipes for the chosen scheme

Produce the four elevations of the house at 1:100 with consistent heights taken from the section

Draw two sections through the house at 1:100, one through the stair and one through a principal room, showing structure and levels

Resolve the entrance sequence: approach, threshold, canopy and hallway, drawn at 1:50

Check the plan, elevations and sections against each other and correct any inconsistency in opening positions or roof line

Write a 300-word design statement explaining the spatial organisation and the decisions behind it

Summarise the Cyprus planning framework in your own notes: planning permission versus building permit, the role of the Town Planning and Housing Department and the district offices, and where the applicant submits

List and explain the regulatory checks that apply to a house: plot coverage, building coefficient, setbacks from boundaries, maximum height and storeys, and parking provision

Apply these checks to your week 5-6 scheme and annotate the site plan with coverage, coefficient and setback figures

Practise a 20-minute freehand perspective sketch of the house entrance and a 10-minute axonometric of the whole scheme

Build a glossary of 30 technical and regulatory terms in Greek and English as used on Cyprus drawings

Lay out a complete presentation set of the house on A3 sheets with a consistent title block, north point, scale bars and drawing numbering

Produce one hand-drawn presentation sheet combining a rendered plan, a perspective and hand lettering, timed to a 2-hour limit

Redraw the weakest drawing from earlier weeks under exam time pressure and compare it with the original to identify remaining errors

Run a timed mock: a 1:50 plan, one section and one elevation from a short brief in 3 hours, using only permitted equipment

Assemble a personal checklist of the ten most common mistakes you made across the eight weeks and verify each is fixed in the final set
