History of Doors and Quick History of Window Glass Handout

A specific architectural style is characterized by a collection of design details. These details include size and shape of windows, the size and placement of a porch, and the presence or absence of columns.

Roof Styles

One of the design details that is usually considered a major characteristic of a housing style is the roof. The illustrations below show several distinct roof styles.

Flat - Flat roofs are horizontal, or very near it. They have very little slope when compared to roofs on a home or residential building. Mansard - a style of hip roof that has four sloping sides, each of which becomes steeper halfway down. Gable - This is also a simple roof and the one most commonly used. It has two slopes meeting at the center or ridge and forming a gable. Gambrel - This type of roof occurs when the rafters rise to meet a flat surface or "deck" instead of corning together at the ridge Salt Box - a long, pitched roof that slopes down to the back, creating a one story in the back and two stories in the front. Hip - This roof consists of four sides, all-sloping toward the center of the building. The corner rafters run up diagonally to meet the ridge.

A. Flat

E. Salt Box

Housing Styles Through the Centuries

Choose 3 homes, using the paper ‘Housing Styles Through the Centuries’. Using a piece of paper, pencil and ruler create a front elevation of the 3 houses of your choice. Then draw a door and 2 windows, using selections from the design elements fact sheet. After you have drawn them in with pencil, they may also be colored. When they are completed, you’ll need to write a description of the housing style, roof style,

window and door styles that were used. You will share your designs with the class in the form of a poster.

Extra credit can be earned by creating changes from the styles (basically creating your own style).

Evolution of Building Codes Handout and Graphic Organizer

The underlying principle of any building code is to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public in the construction and use of buildings and other structures. To this end, building codes establish the minimum standards that structures, and the materials used to construct them must meet. ‘Minimum’ is the operative word when discussing code requirements. This is because minimums ensure that enough has been done to ensure that the bridge won’t collapse, or your electrical system won’t electrocute you, etc. This is important in the construction industry because you can exceed the minimum, (within reason) but you are never allowed to fall short of the minimum. What you build must “meet code,” i.e., meet the minimum requirements for safety.

In order to protect the safety and welfare of the general public, building codes address all facets of constructing a structure. From Framing to fire protection, concrete to roofing, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, etc., it is all addressed in the code.

It is also important to remember that while codes help reduce the hazards faced by those who will use a given structure, no building code is perfect, and therefore cannot completely eliminate all potential hazards. However, effective codes in combination with sound design, engineering, and construction methods can virtually eliminate all reasonable risks posed by any structure to those who use them.

Around 1905 one of the first real building codes would be developed (up to this point, the country ran on local [municipal] codes). It was developed/published by the Fire Underwriters Association (made up of insurance companies), the “National Building Code” as it was called, focused on protecting the building rather the people occupying the building! It wouldn’t be until the late 1920’s before building codes were developed that focused on the safety of a building’s occupants rather than the building itself.

In 1915, code officials from all over the country met to discuss the problems and concerns that they shared. Immediately following these meetings, the first of three-model code writing organizations was formed.

It was known as BOCA or Building Officials and Code Administrators International. (The BOCA National Building Code, or NBC) Created in 1915, BOCA represented code officials from the East and Mid-Western portions of the United States.

In 1922, the second organization was formed. It was known as the Pacific Coast Building Officials Conference. This group permanently changed their name to the International Conference of Building Officials, or ICBO, upon the publication of their first code in 1927. (became known as Uniform Building Code or UBC) This organization represented code officials from the western states. Among these states was California.

BUILDING INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY: YEAR TWO CURRICULUM

The Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI) was formed during 1940-41; this group first published its Southern Standard Building Code in 1946. In 1973 the name of the code was changed to the shorter Standard Building Code (SBC). The SBCCI represented code officials from the southern states.

In 1994, BOCA, ICBO, and SBCCI agreed to work together to form the International Code Congress (ICC).

The codes developed by the ICC are known as the International, or I-Codes. There are 14 different codes published by the ICC, covering all facets of building various structures. From framing to fire protection, houses to HVAC, bridges to balusters, and everything in between, it is all addressed in the I-Codes.

Who can submit new codes, or make changes/revisions to the code?

Anyone can submit a new code or addendum.

If you reason that there should be code to address some aspect of the construction process that currently is not included in the code, or there is a code already in place, but you don’t feel it goes far enough to properly ensure the public’s safety, you can submit to have that code added to, or changed.

If your concerns and/or data are considered valid, the new code will be added, or the existing code changed.

Since codes are published in three-year cycles, it will be three years from the latest published version of the code to which you are submitting for change before your addition or revision is added to the published code. In the meantime, your addition or revision will be issued as a “supplement” to the code. The process of adding to, and/or revising the code was highly evident in the aftermath of the1994 Northridge earthquake.

Engineers, architects, builders, etc. analyzed the bridges, freeways, homes, and other structures that were either damaged or destroyed by the quake. Their analyses and subsequent recommendations were submitted to the ICBO, with many becoming “supplements” to the 1994 Uniform Building Code. In 1997, these supplements became part of the published code with the last publication of the UBC. These codes can now be found throughout the current (2006) publication of the International Building Company.
