Description
A digital scan (jpg file) of an architectural drawing for a Warriors in Transition barracks at the Fort Richardson military base in Alaska. The original drawing was done in pen and ink with Prismacolor markers.
The title and scale are handwritten at the top of the drawing in black ink. Below, there is an elevation drawing of the barracks, which is a rectangular building with a large portico extending from the center.
The left side of the drawing features an early concept sketch with both solid and dashed lines depicting a roof, windows, and balconies.
The center and right contain a detail elevation drawing replete with color, roof pitch and style, finish materials, assembly types, dimensions, and annotations. The main roof is depicted with vertical dashed lines and is annotated as being a dark bronze SSM, while the roof atop the portico is depicted as having a 6-foot rise and a 12-foot run. The very top of the portico’s pediment is colored brown and features three horizontal lines running through it. The windows in the portico are depicted in light blue and are annotated as being sixteen (16) feet wide with low-e glazing, separated by rows of opaque panels. Its base features a wooden truss leading to an arctic entry.
The portico casts a narrow shadow on the building’s right wing, which is colored beige and brown and features a wooden slat / attic vent just beneath part of the roof. A precast band separates the upper floors (colored beige) from the ground floor, which is depicted as brown with dashed black lines and dots annotated as split face masonry. The ground floor also features precast windowsills and a precast water table.
