SDI Proposal: Architechtural Design

Been to long since my last post! need to pick up my game. I haven't explained yet that i have changed by project.

Instead of designing an entirely new building i have decided to take a closer look into revamping heritage buildings.

I have decided to create review and create a new design for renevations on an old heritage Hopkiln (created in 1860ish) once again down in the Huon Valley at my farm. (I will upload some photos of what the building currently looks like.

The project came to a halt because after i had done plans on the how the orginal building looks, i couldn't find any information about laws to do with renovating heritage buildings which i needed to know in order to start drawing up designs, but thanks to one of my teachers showing me a website (www.heritage.tas.gov.au/guiding_principles.html) i found guide lines that need to be followed when renovating heritage buildings.

So with this in mind the plan this week is to finish doing designs for the new building. Will upload these ASAP.
