Unit: -1
Drawing of Building Elements- Drawing of various elements of buildings like various types of footing, open
foundation, raft, grillage, pile and well foundation, Drawing of frames of doors, window, various types of
door, window and ventilator, lintels and arches, stairs and staircase, trusses, flooring, roofs etc.
1. Shallow Foundation: - are usually located no more than 6 ft below the lowest finished floor. A shallow
foundation system generally used when (1) the soil close the ground surface has sufficient bearing
capacity, and (2) underlying weaker strata do not result in undue settlement. The shallow foundations
are commonly used most economical foundation systems.

2. Deep Foundation: - The shallow foundations may not be economical or even possible when the soil
bearing capacity near the surface is too low. In those cases deep foundations are used to transfer loads
to a stronger layer, which may be located at a significant depth below the ground surface. The load is
transferred through skin friction and end bearing.
a. Pile Foundation: - A pile is a vertical structural element of a deep foundation, driven or drilled deep
into the ground at the building site.
m
b. Well Foundation: - Well foundation is a type of deep foundation which is generally provided below the
o
water level for bridges. Cession or well have been in use for foundations of bridges and other
structures since Roman and Mughal periods.

Open Foundation
As the name suggests, open foundations refer to those foundations constructed by carrying out excavations
up to founding level in the open conditions. When suitable founding strata are rock exposed in bed or hard
strata are available at shallow depths, the excavations may by done entirely in the dry condition especially if
the work is done is dry season in seasonal flowing streams. In most other cases, some part of excavation will
need to be carried out in wet conditions, i.e. below the surface water or the subsoil water level.

Ventilation a
n
Ventilation moves outdoor air into a building or a room, and distributes the air within the building or room.
y
The general purpose of ventilation in buildings is to provide healthy air for breathing by both diluting the
d
pollutants originating in the building and removing the pollutants from it
u
Building ventilation has three basic elements:
t
ventilation rate — the amount of outdoor air that is provided into the space, and the quality of the
S
outdoor air
airflow direction — the overall airflow direction in a building, which should be from clean zones to dirty
zones; and
air distribution or airflow pattern — the external air should be delivered to each part of the space in an
efficient manner and the airborne pollutants generated in each part of the space should also be
removed in an efficient manner.
There are three methods that may be used to ventilate a building: natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilation.
P a g e 7 | 27
Page no: 7
Subject: - Building Planning & Architecture (CE4004)
Types of ventilation
Natural ventilation
Mechanical ventilation
Hybrid or mixed-mode ventilation
1. Natural ventilation
Natural forces (e.g. winds and thermal buoyancy force due to indoor and outdoor air density differences) drive
outdoor air through purpose-built, building envelope openings. Purpose-built openings include windows,
doors, solar chimneys, wind towers and trickle ventilators. This natural ventilation of buildings depends on
climate, building design and human behavior.
2. Mechanical ventilation
Mechanical fans drive mechanical ventilation. Fans can either be installed directly in windows or walls, or
installed in air ducts for supplying air into, or exhausting air from, a room.
The type of mechanical ventilation used depends on climate. For example, in warm and humid climates,
infiltration may need to be minimized or prevented to reduce interstitial condensation (which occurs when
warm, moist air from inside a building penetrates a wall, roof or floor and meets a cold surface). In these
cases, a positive pressure mechanical ventilation system is often used. Conversely, in cold climates, exfiltration
m
needs to be prevented to reduce interstitial condensation, and negative pressure ventilation is used. For a
room with locally generated pollutants, such as a bathroom, toilet or kitchen, the negative pressure system is
often used.
o
.c
3. Hybrid or mixed-mode ventilation
Hybrid (mixed-mode) ventilation relies on natural driving forces to provide the desired (design) flow rate. It
a
uses mechanical ventilation when the natural ventilation flow rate is too low.
Lintel
m
a
A lintel is a horizontal member which is placed across the openings like doors, windows etc. in buildings.
Lintels takes the load from the structure above it and provides support. Lintel is also a type beam, the width of
n
which is equal to the width of wall, and the ends of which are built into the wall. These are very easy to
y
construct as compared to arches.
Arches
d
An arch is a curved structure that spans an elevated space and may or may not support the weight above it.
Types of Arches
u
t
Arches are classified based on:
S
1. Shape
2. Nu er of Ce tre’s
3. Workmanship
4. Materials of construction
Types of Arches based on shape:
Based on the shape of construction arches are classified into 10 types and they are discussed below.
Flat Arch
For flat arch, the intrados is apparently flat and it acts as a base of equilateral triangle which was formed
by the horizontal angle of 600 by skewbacks.
Even though the intrados is flat but it is given that a slight rise of camber of about 10 to 15 mm per meter
width of opening is allowed for small settlements.
P a g e 8 | 27

Subject: - Building Planning & Architecture (CE4004)
Extrados is also horizontal and flat. These flat arches are generally used for light loads, and for spans up
to 1.5m.
y
Semi-Circular Arch
d
u
The shape of arch curve looks like semi-circle and the thrust transferred to the abutments is perfectly vertical
t
direction since skewback is horizontal. In this type of arch, the Centre lies exactly on the springing line.

Pointed Arch
The other name of pointed arch is Gothic arch. In this type of arch two arcs of circles are met at the apex
hence triangle is formed. This may be either isosceles or equilateral.

Segmental, semi-circular, flat, horse-shoe arches and stilted arches are one centered arches. In some cases,
perfectly circular arch is pro ided for ir ular i do s hi h is alled as ull’s e e ar h is also o e u der

2. Brick Arches
Brick arches are also subdivided into:
Rough brick arches
These are constructed with ordinary bricks without cutting to the shape voussoirs. The arch curve is provided
by forming wedge shaped joints with greater thickness at extrados and smaller thickness at intrados. So, it
looks u attra ti e. That’s h it is ot re o e ded for e posed ri k orks.

3. Concrete Arches
Concrete arches are of two types:
Precast concrete block arches
In Precast concrete block arches the blocks are cast in molds to the exact shape and size of voussoirs. For key
stone and skewbacks special molds are prepared. These will give good appearance because of exact shape and
size. Cement concrete of 1:2:4 is used.

provide them with lending.
Generally for residential building width of stair is 1.0 m and 1.2 m
No of risers= Total height of floor/ Height of riser
No of tread= Number of riser-1
Types of stairs and staircase – Classification of stairs:
Stairs can be broadly classified into three types:
1. Straight stairs
2. Turning stairs
3. Continuous stairs
1. Straight stairs:
Generally for small houses, available width is very retractable. So, this type of straight stairs are used in such
m
conditions which runs straight between two floors. This stair may consists of either one single flight or more
than one flight with a landing.

Turning stairs are sub classified as:
a) Quarter turn stairs

b) Half turn stairs (dog legged stairs)
S
c) Three – quarter turn stairs
d) Bifurcated stairs
a) Quarter turn stairs:
A quarter turn stair is the one which changes its direction either to the right or to the left but where the turn
being affected either by introducing a quarter space landing or by providing winders. In these type of stairs the
flight of stair turns 90 degrees art landing as it rises to connect two different levels. So it is also called as
L-stair. Again these quarter turn stairs are two types.
i. Newel quarter turn stairs:
These type of stairs have clearly visible newel posts at the beginning of flight as well as at the end. At the
quarter turn, there may either be quarter space landing or there may be winders.

d) Bifurcated stairs:
Bifurcated stairs are commonly used in public building at their entrance hall. This has a wider flight at the
bottom, which bifurcates into two narrower flights, one turning to the left and other to the right, at landing.it
may be either of newel type with a newel post or of geometrical type with continuous stringer and hand rails.

Trusses
In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are
organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [1] A "two-force member" is a
structural component where force is applied to only two points. Although this rigorous definition allows
the members to have any shape connected in any stable configuration, trusses typically comprise five
or more triangular units constructed with straight members whose ends are connected at joints
referred to as nodes.
Flooring
Flooring is the general term for a permanent covering of a floor, or for the work of installing such a
floor covering. Floor covering is a term to generically describe any finish material applied over a floor
structure to provide a walking surface. Both terms are used interchangeably but floor covering refers
more to lose-laid materials.
MUD FLOORING
Mud has been the easiest form of material available for building construction. It has been adopted for various
elements in the house in different forms. Floorings in mud have mostly been adopted in village housing as
besides being economical, mud is readily available and the flooring is easy to construct and maintain.

Wooden flooring is most commonly used in hilly regions of the country where the temperature are quite low.
At present they are also being provided in floors of high end housing to give a good appearance.
BAMBOO FLOORING
Bamboo flooring is very commonly used in areas where bamboo is available locally. However such floorings
have recently become quite popular due to its aesthetics, being uniquely attractive, strong and resilient,
dimensionally stable, moisture and stain resistant and being environmentally friendly. It is also said to have
better properties than hard wood.

Roof
A roof is part of a building envelope. It is the covering on the uppermost part of a building or shelter which
provides protection from animals and weather, notably rain or snow, but also heat, wind and sunlight. The
word also denotes the framing or structure which supports that covering.
Types of roof
Gable Roof:
Gable roof designs are one of the more simple styles when it comes to roofs. The gable roof style looks like an
inverted/upside down V. Gable roofs are not ideal for areas with high wind because they easily can catch the
wind much like a sail would.
Flat Roof:
Flat roofs are common especially with commercial buildings. Flat roofs are definitely the simplest roof to build
because they have little to no pitch. The most common types of roofing systems used with flat roofs are
rubber roofing systems.
Hip Roof:
Hip roofs are a common residential style roof. This type of roof is more difficult to construct when compared
to flat roofs and gable roofs because they have a more complicated truss and rafter structure. A hip roof style
roof has four sloping sides with zero vertical roof lines/walls. Hip roofs can be both square and rectangular.
Gambrel Roof:
m
o
The best way to describe a gambrel roof is by saying barn roof. The gambrel style roof is most commonly used
on barns. However, it is also used in residential construction. This type of roof has the benefit of providing a
.c
good amount of space in the attic. In fact, it provides so much extra space that it is often turned into
bedrooms or other living areas.
Dutch Hip Roof:
a
The Dutch hip roof is basically a hip roof with a small gable at either end. The gables can be used as
ventilation.
m
a
Shed Roof:
A shed roof is basically a flat roof but has more pitch. It is frequently used for additions on homes or other roof
styles.
n
Mansard Roof:
y
The mansard roof is a French design and is more difficult to construct than the hip or gable roof.
Butterfly Roof:
d
u
The butterfly roof is not a roof style that is widely used. The style provides plenty of light and ventilation but is
t
not the effective when it comes to water drainage.
Winged Gable Roof:
S
The winged gable roof varies slightly from the tradition gable roof. It varies by extended outwards from the
peak of the roof.
A-Frame Roof:
This type of roof is very popular for churches, cottages, homes, and other structures. The roof acts as both the
roof and the walls for a structure.
Folded Plate Roof:
The folded plate roof has limited use in single family homes. It looks like a series of small gable roofs placed
side by side of each other.

Municipal by-laws are public regulatory laws which apply in a certain area. The main difference between a
by-law and a law passed by a national/federal or regional/state body is that a bylaw is made by a
non-sovereign body, which derives its authority from another governing body, and can only be made on a
limited range of matters. A local council or municipal government gets its power to pass laws through a law of
the national or regional government which specifies what things the town or city may regulate through
bylaws. It is therefore a form of delegated legislation.
Within its jurisdiction and specific to those areas mandated by the higher body, a municipal by -law is no
m
different than any other law of the land, and can be enforced with penalties, challenged in court and must
comply with other laws of the land, such as the country's constitution. Municipal bylaws are often enforcable
o
through the public justice system, and offenders can be charged with a criminal offence for breach of a bylaw.
.c
Common bylaws include vehicle parking and stopping regulations, animal control, building and construction,
licensing, noise, zoning and business regulation, and management of public recreation areas.

Design concepts and philosophies
Philosophy of design is the study of assumptions, foundations, and implications of design. The field is defined
u
by an interest in a set of problems, or an interest in central or foundational concerns in design. In addition to
t
these central problems for design as a whole, many philosophers of design consider these problems as they
S
apply to particular disciplines (e.g. philosophy of art). Although most practitioners are philosophers, several
prominent designers and artists have contributed to the field. For an introduction to the philosophy of design
see the article by Per Galle at the Royal Danish Academy.

Presentation techniques
We have condensed all of the presentation techniques down to the most effective.
Using pictures in your presentations instead of words can double the chances of meeting your objectives.
There is an old adage that said – No o e e e o plai ed of a p ese tatio ei g too sho t. Nothi g kills a
presentation more than going on too long.
There are some college professors who will penalize a short presentation (most lecturers see no problem in
droning on) , but for most people a shorter presentation is better. Keep your presentation to under 22
minutes if you can.
m
A simple technique is that people tend to only remember three things. Work out what the three messages
o
that you want your audience to take away and structure your presentation around them. Use a maximum of
.c
three points on a slide.
a
4. Rehearse
m
Practice makes for perfect performance. Many experts say that rehearsal is the biggest single thing that you
can do to improve your performance. Perform your presentation out loud at least four times. One of these
a
should be in front of a real scary audience. Family, friends or colleagues. Even the dog is better than nothing.
5. Tell stories
n
y
All presentations are a type of theatre. Tell stories and anecdotes to help illustrate points. It all helps to make
d
your presentation more effective and memorable.
u
6. Lose the bullet points – don’t put your speaker notes up on the screen
t
S
Bullet points are the kiss of death for most presentations. Most people use bullet points as a form of speaker
notes. To make your presentation more effective put your speaker notes in your notes and not up on the
screen.
7. Video yourself
Set up a video camera and video yourself presenting. You will see all sorts of mistakes that you are making,
from how you are standing, if you are jangling keys, to how well your presentation is structured.
You should always know when presenting which slide is coming up next. It sounds very powerful when you say
O the e t slide [Cli k] ou ill see… , athe tha tha a pe iod of o fusio he the e t slide appea s.
P a g e 11 | 24

Mu ph s La normally applies during a presentation. Technology not working, power cuts, projector blowing
a bulb, spilling coffee on your front, not enough power leads, no loudspeakers, presentation displays strangely
on the laptop – all of these are things that have happened in presentations that I have given.
Have a back-up plan. Take with you the following items – a printed out set of slides – (you can hold these up to
the audience if you need to), a CD or data stick of your presentation, a laptop with your slides on it. Just in
case it goes wrong.
Guess what? When you have back-ups – you seldom need to use them.
Arrive early and check out the presentation room. If you can make sure that you see your slides loaded onto
the PC and working on the screen. Work out where you will need to stand.
Do you agree or disagree with any of these effective presentation techniques? Have you have any experiences

Pictorial drawings
o
.c
A view of an object (actual or imagined) as it would be seen by an observer who looks at the object either in a
chosendirection or from a selected point of view. Pictorial sketches often are more readily made and more cle
a
arly understood thanare front, top, and side views of an object. Pictorial drawings, either sketched freehand or
made with drawing instruments,are frequently used by engineers and architects to convey ideas to their assist
ants and clients. See Engineering drawing
m
a
In making a pictorial drawing, the viewing direction that shows the object and its details to the best advantage
n
is chosen. Theresultant drawing is orthographic if the viewing rays are considered as parallel, or perspective if
the rays are considered asmeeting at the eye of the observer. Perspective drawings provide the most realistic,
y
and usually the most pleasing, likenesswhen compared with other types of pictorial views.

Rendering: - S
Software rendering is the process of generating an image from a model by means of computer software. In the
context of computer graphics rendering, software rendering refers to a rendering process that is not
dependent upon graphics hardware ASICs, such as a graphics card. The rendering takes place entirely in the
CPU.

2. Use High Quality Cutting Tools
When building a model you will always need to cut up some material or another in order to suit your needs,
.c
making this specific tool somewhat more important than many of the others (with the exception of glue
perhaps – more on that later). Getting that clean edge adds another level of neatness; it may not be fully
a
appreciated, but trust us, its absence is always noted. Get your hands on a good utility knife with a set of
exchangeable blades; a blunt knife is often more dangerous than a sharp one. A good pair of sharp scissors

One source suggests washing your hands every 30 minutes, and while this may be a tad excessive for some,

washing your hands more often than usual is probably a good thing, especially when working with a white
material. The oil and dirt that begins to accumulate on your fingers may not be obvious to you until you see it

good composition, the elements of unity should be chosen carefully.

d
u
t Figure-62:- Unity
S
Unity therefore deals with the arrangement of building materials and building parts (floor, wall, roof, column,
beam, etc.) to create a good composition.
P a g e 19 | 24
Page no: 19
Subject: - Building Planning & Architecture (CE4004)
Consider materials such as stone, glass and steel. They are available in a variety of colors, tones, textures,
shapes, proportions, etc. Various compositions of these material properties are possible-the challenge lies in
arising at the most pleasing composition. The texture or color of a single brick or wood panel will differ in
effect when it forms a part of the larger composition such as brick wall or a door frame set in a wall.
Texture
The word texture generally refers to the appearance and feel of a surface. However, it could also mean the
physical composition or structure of something, especially with respect to its size, shape and arrangement of
its parts.
m
o
.c
a
Figure-63:- Texture
In this figure, a variety of textures can be seen in the roofs, walls and paving. Strongly identifiable shapes in
m
roofs and battered walls are seen as repeated units, presenting a definite and distinguishable feel of the
surface. Individual dwellings within a group, as well as decorations and carvings in buildings can create an
effect of texture.
a
Color n
y
Here color refers to hue. Color is one of the pronounced elements of aesthetics and its selection is very crucial
d
to the overall effect it has on aesthetics. A variety of effects can be produced by varying luminance, fullness
u
and its transparency.
Tone
t
S
Tone is related to the color theory and varies from the neutral scale of white to black through a range of greys.
This plays an important role in drawings used to represent buildings.
Direction
Every building has elements which suggest direction. In most buildings, these are strong elements that suggest
vertical and horizontal direction. The total shape of the building, or parts of the building or its structural
components (beam, column, wall, ceiling etc.) its windows and other openings all suggest the direction.
P a g e 20 | 24
Page no: 20
Subject: - Building Planning & Architecture (CE4004)
Figure-64:- Direction
This building shows a strong dominance of horizontality given by the roof line and overhang in contrast from
the columns. The directional emphasis is reinforced by the use of a strongly ribbed cladding tile, which can be
seen running horizontally on the eaves soffit and the beams linking the column heads and the solid parts of
the wall behind them.
Here a dominantly vertical composition is shown where the verticality is reinforced by the faceting of the
m
envelope. Contrast is given by the generally horizontal emphasis of the fenestration. The curving round of the
o
plan affords more window space for the living accommodation of the southerly side relative to the service and
circulation space on the north i.e., stairs, lifts, passage access to flats.
Proportion
.c
a
In this context, proportion is the geometric relationship of the sides of volumes (e.g., rectangles). It is also the
ratio and comparative size of individual parts of the composition.
m
Ducal Palace, Urbina, Paris illustrates the concept of unity through proportions.
a
We cannot measure these relationships accurately by eye, but we can compare them and try to judge the
n
relationship of one to another on proportional basis. Buildings belonging to Classical and Gothic Architecture
y
have better proportional relationships than most buildings today.
t
very important to form a good composition.

Cemetery Chapel, Turku, Finland shows the relationship between solid and void structural units. In this
structure, the dominance of solid material contributes to the sense of enduring unity.
Form and Shape
Form and shape can be clearly observed in the overall arrangement of a building or in parts of a building
(windows, doors etc.) which have geometric shapes. Repetition or variation of a particular form can provide
strong elements of composition. Parts of a building, for example, windows depicting form represent geometric
shapes such as a square or a rectangle. Repetition of a window unit form a good element of composition.
Shape helps to identify different forms, for example, the pitch of a roof will provide a certain form which is
easy to identify and also easy to relate to other roofs which have a similar pitch. When a roof is of a distinctly
different shape, it will look strongly dissimilar.
There are certain general principles which as a engineer should bear in mind while planning a building.
The general principles are
Aspect
Prospect m
Privacy o
Grouping
.c
a
Roominess
Flexibility
Furniture requirements
m
Circulation
a
Elegance
n
y
Economy
d
Sanitation
Aspect
u
t
Aspect: different rooms of the buildings are placed and located accordingly to the functional utility in
such a way that maximum advantage of natural elements like sun, wind, can be obtained. To obtain
S
sufficient sunlight inside the room windows are placed in external walls
Kitchen aspect: Kitchen should have window in east, because morning sun kills the germs. So kitchen
should have eastern aspect.
Bed room aspect: Bed room is a unit of residential building generally used in night time, for sleeping so
evening sun rays, which are cool in nature should enter the bed room to create cheerful atmosphere. So
bed room should have western aspect, south-western or north-western aspect.
Drawing room aspect: It is a room which is used by the occupants for maximum hours of the day. To
achieve good sunlight it should be placed in south or southeast or north-east. Windows should be
provided in external walls
Study room aspect: Windows in this room should be in northern side to obtain sufficient light
throughout the day. So aspect of this room is north.
P a g e 22 | 24
Page no: 22
Subject: - Building Planning & Architecture (CE4004)
Verandah: there should be sufficient light in the above unit throughout the day so they should be
placed with opening in north-direction.
Prospect
It is related with the views as seen of the outside from doors and windows in the external wall. For
pleasant atmosphere view of a garden, hill and a river, etc. is a good prospect. Towards these objective
doors and windows should be provided in the external wall of the building. Undesirable views like a
small nallah, slum area, drainage disposal unit, garbage collection centers should be concealed by not
providing windows in that direction
Prospect of living room should be toward the main road to keep control on the plot. Prospects of bed
should be on the rear side of the building so that to avoid disturbance due to noise.
Privacy
This is very important factor to be considered while planning both residential as well as public building
Privacy of one room from another in a building as well as privacy of the whole building with other
building should be achieved.
The privacy of residential building as a whole can be achieved by planting trees, and by providing
m
entrance. Even the compound wall of required height can be constructed to provide privacy of
o
trespassers.
.c
Privacy in different rooms can be achieved by providing doors in such a way that minimum view of
room is seen when shutter is opened. Privacy is very important in bed rooms and wick. and the view of
a
bed room should not be visible from any other room.
Grouping
m
It is the arrangement of various rooms with respect to their functions, In case of residential building to
achieve maximum efficiency of the plan the grouping should be done as follows
a
Verandah should be the first unit after the entrance of the house Living room and dining room should
n
be close next to verandah Kitchen and dining should be close to each other Sanitary arrangements
should be close to bed rooms. Staircase should be approachable from each room Passages connecting
y
various rooms should be well lighted and ventilated
d
u
Roominess
This principle of planning is directly related to dimensions of the room. A rectangular room is found
t
more convenient as compared to a square room of the same size. Hence length to width ratio should be
S
1.2 to 1 or 1.5 to 1 if the ratio is greater it will give a tunnel effect to the room. Height of doors and
windows, ceilings, floorings, color treatment also affect the roominess of the building unit. Light color
give effect of more space whereas dark color makes the room look smaller. Height of ceiling should be
low as more height gives a feeling of a cave.
Flexibility
Flexibility means a room which was planned for one function can be used for other, if so required. If
rooms are big enough and are having a minimum width of 3m are more flexible and even the activities
of various rooms can be exchanged.
Furniture requirement
One of the most important requirement of a building planner, is to know how much space is needed by
each function in a particular building. The room sizes for a particular function can be completed on the
P a g e 23 | 24
Page no: 23
Subject: - Building Planning & Architecture (CE4004)
basis of permanent furniture's to be used in the room. Hence while planning a building furniture
arrangement must be shown.
Circulation
Circulation is the access into or out of a room. It is the internal movement inside the building and the
area earmarked for it.
Circulation area should be straight, short, bright, lighted.
Circulation should not affect the privacy of a room nor interfere with the utility space
Circulation in a building is of two types
Horizontal circulation and vertical circulation
Circulation within a floor is called horizontal circulation
And circulation between different floors is called vertical communication.
Lighting
It can be natural light as that obtained from the sun during the day or artificial light. Adequate
illumination is essential in day to day activities to execute the safety and comfort and efficiency
m
Good visibility is a must for accident prevention, comfortable watching and reading to reduce fatigue,
avert confusion, and efficient security.
o
.c
Elegance
Elegance refers to the planning of elevation and layout of the plan to give an impressive appearance to
a
the building. The proper width, height, location of doors and windows, materials employed in
construction of exterior walls etc create elegance. The result of elegance is aesthetics of building
Economy
m
a
Building planning should be carried out in the financial limit of the client. An engineer should
know in advance, the client intends to spend for the building and accordingly material of
n
construction, finishing items, stage of construction should be suggested. By estimation
y
proposed amount should be derived and as per that progress should be followed to avoid delay
in work progress
Sanitation
d
• Provision for cleanliness, lighting and ventilation in sanitary units avoid growing of bacteria's, and spread of
u
diseases and give hygienic condition. In bath and w.c. glazed tiles and dado should be provided on wall to
t
maintain clean condition. The ventilator in bath, w.c. permit sunlight and air collation to maintain
S
