Feb 8th review

The below is from Prof. Ghandi. I expect the same, except that previous work will be presented using your walk-thru board + one additional analytical drawing (this is an important "summary" of your research). All other drawings must be architectural site plans, building plans, sections, elevations + a series of models. Persentation composition is always important, but not urgent for this pin-up. I'd prefer to see quantity over quality, however, everything must be clear and a pleasure to look at.

WE WOULD PREFER TO START EARLY SO THE TIME WILL BE 12PM-6PM

ARCH 502: Architectural Design VIII THESIS STUDIO
New York Institute of Technology T, F 2:00 – 5:40 pm Spring 2013
Prof. Farzana Gandhi [fgandhi@nyit.edu] 5 credits

[pinup with Prof. Cody’s section: Friday, Feb 8th]
Your scheme must clearly demonstrate architectural and spatial organizational strategies
consistent with your Design 7 research
– be sure to explain:
Primary conclusions from your research
Primary intentions: what you are trying to achieve spatially in your architecture?
Your scheme must clearly demonstrate understanding of site + program issues:
Site: entry, orientation, topography, site planning, climate
Program: major program sizes + relationships, user groups, circulation
Your scheme must clearly demonstrate a start of a material + structural strategy:
Structural system: wood, steel, concrete, other?
Column grid, truss, some combination? Structural bay size?
How does this affect the sizes, spaces, and arrangement of your program elements?
Please format the below as ONE 36” x 72” board
Thesis Name
Thesis Statement [simple paragraph or bullet points]
ONE or TWO diagrams explaining your design 7 research
Site Plan at 1/32” scale
Floor Plan at 1/16” scale
Section at 1/16” scalePlanar model at 1/16” scale (preferably with some site context)

Street Sensations - Fall Final






I will work on another proposal that addresses the issues emerged from this proposal and tackle architecture at its core during the break period and will update you via the blog. Thank you professor for having my back today in my "little" mishap, I have no clue what happened to me!
