IDE401 Interior Decor Visual Communication Assignment

Assessment 1

Learning Outcomes

Use industry standards to measure an interior space.

Instructions

Complete and submit your assessment according to the Open Polytechnic’s Assessments webpage. This includes information on academic integrity, word limits, and referencing.

Part A: How To Measure A Space

Below are images, floor plans, and details for two rooms that have been selected to have their décor updated.

Part A: Questions

1). Identify what measurements need to be taken for each space.

• Describe how you would take these measurements (e.g., in what order).
• How would you record these measurements to meet industry standards?

2). What would be the challenges in measuring each of the rooms?

•  Identify and describe the challenges.
•  Describe how you might manage these.

Part B: Measuring A Space For A Floor Plan

Choose a room that you are familiar with. It should be a room that you can easily access to measure.

You may use whatever tool that you have – either a measuring tape or a laser measuring device.

1. Measure the dimensions of the floor space and create a floor plan with a supporting legend of detailing.
2. Measure and record the ceiling stud height on the floor plan.

Part C: Measuring A Space For Door And Window Elevation Views

1). Using the same room as in Part B, the following task focuses on creating two elevation views.

•  Measure and record the size and placement of the vertical windows on the floor plan.
•  Record the size and placement of the vertical windows on an elevation view.

2). Measure and record the placement of a door on another elevation view.

Assessment 2

Learning Outcomes

• Number your pages.

Assessment Overview

There are two tasks in this assessment:

Task 1:

Produce five 2-dimensional (2D) drawings using SketchUp CAD software based on a hand-sketched floor plan and measurements provided.

Task 2: 

Produce one 3-dimensional (3D) drawing using SketchUp CAD software.

Task 1: 2D Drawings

Use the hand-sketched floor plan provided to produce the following 2-dimensional drawings using SketchUp CAD software:

1. A 2-dimensional floor plan. 
2. A 2-dimensional interior north elevation view. 
3. A 2-dimensional interior south elevation view. 
4. A 2-dimensional interior west elevation view.
5. A 2-dimensional interior east elevation view.

Task 2: 3D Drawing

Based on the hand-sketched floor plan and your work in Task 1, use SketchUp CAD software to produce a 3-dimensional drawing of the complete drawing structure.

• This may be from an angle of your choice, but it must display the entire space.
• Provide a title block for this drawing only.
