Exemplar Sections 5 - 1:100

Architecture Museum in Imabari (Japan) - Toyo Ito (2006 -)


The images below are sketch sections of a small museum building. These sections show the basic layout of the museum and explain how things like light will enter some of the spaces. Note that the sections themselves have very little detail apart from room shapes and sizes, rough layout and shapes of walls and how the building itself sits within the surrounding landscape. 

Original scales 1:100

As the building is small and it appears as if the spaces within the building are quite large, there is enough room to start going into some detail regarding the activities within. I think that within my 1:100 drawings I will need to go into some small detail to show exactly what the space is. I will leave the full detailing to the 1:50 sections, but to avoid the section looking sparse in some points, I should include some detail.







The section below is also at 1:100 however has been computer drawn. This section shows most of the same things as the sketches do, however it includes basic details like stairs and windows that help with the understanding of the building and access within the building. This type of sections gives more accurate sizes and shapes of walls, doors, windows and stairs, and now the quality of the spaces can be understood. It also gives a very basic understanding of some of the activities that may be going on in the space are.
