Case Study – Technical Cutaway Drawing Expresses Function and Finished Appearance
Expressing Technical Functionality and Finished Appearance with one Cutaway Perspective Drawing
This is an example of a product that comprises the structural, and the finished aesthetic appearance of a wall. The Isometric cutaway drawing expresses what this thing is, how it works and why someone would choose it for a wall system.
What is One-Step?
(description from their web site)
The OneStep Building System is a holistic, high performance building product whereby the entire exterior structure of a building can be built using only ONE product, ONE trade and ONE Step! It’s design is adapted from a concrete form masonry unit (CFMU).
OneStep combines the beauty of masonry, the strength of concrete and the energy efficiency of polystyrene insulation into a singular building product, which dramatically simplifies the construction process and reduces the environmental impact of high performance buildings.
