Mock-up Wall Assembly Sketches

Above is my sketch for the Mock-up Wall Assembly on Perry Street. I drew it from the front first to show the different layers and different pieces and parts that make up a wall. From the front you can see the different materials such as: hokie stone, cmu, cast stone, insulation, and vapor barrier on cmu. In the section view above you are able to see a more detailed drawing, which allows you to see exactly how the materials were put into place and what the inside of the wall looks like. The section view is through the hokie stone. The outside layer is hokiestone, then the inside consists of a layer of drainage fabric, an air gap, insulation, and then finally cmu. I drew a detail of the cast stone tie which is used to secure the parts of the wall together.



The section view shown above is a little different from the section view in the previous sketch. This is because this one is of a section through the cast stone as opposed to the one in the previous sketch which was oh a section through the hokie stone. In this one you are able to see even more detail and more of the smaller pieces and parts not seen in the sketch through the hokie stone. You can see the cmu on the outer layer then the insulation,vapor barrier,flashing, and then the cast stone.

  1. Your drawings are really detailed and easy to visualize. Your footnotes really help me understand what I'm looking at. I really like the detail you put into the mock up wall, drawing not only the sides of the wall, but the front as well.
