Assessment 3 Outline
Heritage building upgrade (3D CAD model and 2D drawings)
Weighting: 50% Due: by 23:59, Friday 22rd October
Following on from Assessment 2, students are to design an extension, addition and/or part retrofit for their earlier selected heritage listed/recognised site. Students are to put into practice the principles of working on heritage buildings/site they have learnt in the lectures and tutorials. The new work should aim to increase/modify the current floor space by approximately 25-35% (although this may be negotiated with the lecturer)
Section 1: Heritage Impact Statement – 1000 words
The Heritage impact statement will include the following:
1. Report format including cover sheet, content page, plans, photos, graphics and bibliography.
2. A brief description of your heritage building including: the name, date of construction, period and style, the architect/s involved. Identification of e.g. materials, alterations, additions, views, spaces manufactured/pre- fab elements, timber species, brick types, etc.; any significant alterations and additions that have been made to date; a brief summary of the site/buildings significance and whether the site or building heritage is listed under the state or the local council policies or both.
3. A detailed description of the proposed works as illustrated in your drawings including construction systems, materials, colours finishes and purpose.
4. How the proposed works will limit any negative impact on the heritage fabric, cultural, social and historical heritage significance of the site/building.
5. How the proposed works will contribute to the ongoing heritage importance and viability of the building/site’s existence in today’s social and built environmental context.
NOTE: Students may use relevant parts of their own work from Assessment 2 without concern for plagiarism. Please ensure that you have expressed the above information in your own words. No copying and pasting from original sources.
Section 2: Design and Drawings
• Annotation is required on all drawings including room labels, overall dimensions, descriptions, brief explanations adjacent to and around the drawings.
• All drawings and images are to be presented in a professional manner on A3 sheets with title blocks.
• All drawings should be in context, showing the existing heritage building/site in full (white or grey with the new works in full colour).
• New work is to show sufficient detail. All drawings are to be completed using a CAD program e.g. ArchiCAD.
Students are to prepare and submit the following drawings as a minimum:
• Site Plan at a suitable (scale 1:100 or 1:200)
• Floor plans (scale 1:100 or 1:200)
• All Elevations (scale 1:100 or 1:200) • 2 x Sections (scale 1:100 or 1:200)
• 1 x 1:10 detail of the junction between the new and old, or if a detached building, a detail of the new work.
• 3 x perspective views (minimum 2 x external, 1 x internal)
• (Sheet size may be increased for large site in consultation with the lecturer)

Assessment 3 Outline
New design in heritage contexts can accommodate a rich variety of interpretation and expression. It is important not to directly mimic the existing heritage building. Modern additions can be successful when working with heritage.
Understanding the heritage significance of the place and the quality of the design response are key. New work must recognise and enhance the heritage significance of the place and context, while enabling the place to have ongoing, viable life that responds to the contemporary needs of clients, users and the community.
Important tips:
• You will be required to submit this Assessment through Turnitin.
• Ensure that you do not cut/paste from your sources as this will be identified in Turnitin as plagiarism. You are required to paraphrase and provide in-text references to support your discussions.
• Students must use Harvard WSU referencing style and provide a full reference list at the end of the assessment.
• Students should aim to submit early and view the originality report. This will allow you to identify any parts of your assessment you have accidentally plagiarised. Students are encouraged to edit and resubmit before the due date!
