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

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
