Measure Drawing- Rector Bungalow

Rector Bungalow is an old residential bungalow located in the campus of  Gujarat College, Ahmedabad. Built in the year 1900, this property is an open exhibition of ancient architectural expression and practices. Simple exposed brick walls support a double layered wooden hip roof. This structure not only marvels us by its elegant surkhi shade but also by its intricate and skillful wooden joineries. This structure not only serves well as a case study for structural understanding but also for its material palette, joinery details and ultimately its expression.
