HIGGINS HALL CENTER SECTION (Brooklyn, NY, USA) / Steven Holl

on this building the architect used an elemental structure of concrete covered in thick glass. The aim was to create a strong visual contrast with the cross-buildings, which have masonry facades. this help the designers establish a groundbreaking approach to the problem of inserting new building into a preexisting architectural context.

in this diagrams the existing building is one of the importance aspect as shown on diagrams above that the building have s level difference between the existing building

This two section has limited structure detail of the building, but it very clear drawn the difference level of the new building and the existing, which is the main point of the building.

in my opinion, by putting some colour on the section it can define the section clearly and underline the difference level of the new and existing building.

The thin line in the back of the building section, showing the facade of the existing building and how it related to the new building.

YUZEN VINTAGE CAR MUSEUM (Los Angeles) / Morphosis

YUZEN VINTAGE CAR MUSEUM (Los Angeles)

The building is cut at its centre producing an entry space orienting the pedestrian to the museum function on the west and various ancillary commercial function on the east. the public enters the main exhibition space of the museum at its vertical centre.

On this section, they would like to show the inter-relationship of the parking ramp, the structural grid, and the exterior surface walls produce the architectural language, mimetic of the existing fabric of the commercial street  

The section above showing the building level, with a limited site context. focus on the level on the building it self. with the thickness of the line draw the back part of the section showing the vertical access and the structure of the floor level and pillar that supported in the front and back part of the building. the site context on the right is to show the scale of the building on that area. 

combination of the section and plan together easier to understand where do they cut the section. it could help to unterstand a complicated building shape on the section.

the thickness of the line on the section above showing the structure of the beam and pillar, with some texture on the uncut section, draw a clear relationship between inside and outside.

from this two section, I would like to emphisizes the texture in my section it can be easy to understand the cut and uncut section, and showing the section line by putting the section and plan together.

NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (amsterdam-Netherlands) / Renzo Piano

The section above showing the route leading from the square into the museum. In this section clearly draw the function of each room and access from one level to another level. With the component used on the section showing the activity of each space.

Access

the interior of the science centre is organized on different level that diagonally across the building, linkes by a large holes in the floors, which are illuminated from above. staircase also pass through these gaps. The wells of light create a sophisticated sequence of spaces, providing a visual connection between the various part of the construction. As soon as the visitors come into the entrance hall they are presented with a view of all the spaces. At fifth level, accessible by means of another straircase, is a panoramic restaurant, with a small terrace.

from the section, i would like to emphasized the access  which leading from the entrance to the exit and component showing the function of each spaces on my section drawing.

KANSAI AIR TERMINAL (osaka-Japan) / Renzo Piano

KANSAI AIR TERMINAL (Osaka- Japan)

This section emphasizes a strong relationship between the airport, the airplane lane and the arrival/departure gate. Apart from the systems of the structure this section evidently highlighted the airport program on the ground level how passengers arrived from the gate through the voyers down to the check in booth and eventually board the airplane.

The section drawing is shows the building system and how it work, the silhouette of the peoples are representing the access of the building from the entrance to the plane, and the colour of the human silhouette (black  and white) representing inside and outside of the building. The technique of the line thickness easy to understand the back part and cut section.

This section is indicated for easier understanding of the building system and the roof structure

The Kansai air Terminal was build in the artificial island on top of the sea, but not floating. Therefore, the structure on the ground level wasn't much different, the main part of the section is to show the roof structure which is visible from the inside out.

In the cross section, the roof is an irregular arch (in reality, a series of arches of different radii). It has been given this shape to channel air from the passenger side to the runway side without the need for closed ducts. In the section showing the roof structure with undulating, asymmetrical lines, and yet the exposed beams are repeated with regular pattern of the filigree    

from this section, I would like to emphasizes the thickness of the line and the structure of my main part of the building on my section. showing the system of the building.
