This report on Architecture includes only The Kinds of Architectural Construction, Types of Architecture and Design Method of Architecture

1. Kinds of Architectural Construction
Types of Architecture
Design Methods of Architecture

2. Kinds of Architectural Design
 Post-and-Lintel
 Consists of a horizontal beam and two
vertical posts.
 Cantilever
 Similar to post-and-lintel but the horizontal
beam is with one end extended than the
other.
 Arch – 5 Types of Arches
 Consists of several wedge-shaped blocks of
stone called voussiors.

3. Kinds of Architectural Design
 Vault
 Arched structure of masonry.
○ Barrel Vault – series of arches.
○ Cross/Groined Vault – intersection of two
barrel vaults
○ Cloister Vault – like a dome but the base
formed is square or polygonal

4. Kinds of Architectural
Design
 Dome
 Large hemispherical roof.
 Looks like an inverted cup.
 Truss
 Used to support the roof.
 Braced framework of beams forming one or
more triangle.

5. Types of Architecture
 Domestic Architecture
 Produced for the social unit.
 A place to sleep, food, eat and work.
(e.g. Houses)
 Religious Architecture
 Affected by religion
(e.g. Churches)

6. Types of Architecture

7. Types of Architecture
 Governmental Architecture
 Built for the government offices.
(e.g. City Halls)
 Recreational Architecture
 Built for the purpose of sports, events and
musical performances.
(e.g. Philippine Arena)

8. Design Methods of Architecture
 Design Tools
 For Hand Drawings – rulers, pencil with
various lead types, compasses, protractors
and angles
 Computer Programs – Google SketchUp,
AutoCAD

9. Design Methods of Architecture
 Architectural Drawing
 Gives the idea of the relationship between
the rooms and what the project will look like.
 Standard Views in Architectural Drawing
○ Floor Plan
○ Site Plan - mostly used in Landscape
Architecture
○ Elevation – the different views of the structure
○ Cross Section

10. Design Methods of Architecture
 Construction
 The construction will depend on
Architectural Drawing that shows also
measurements to properly build the final
product.
