Project 03_Phase 04: Section and Elevation (Part 3)

Please keep finalizing your floor plan, sections and elevation. Here are some things that I want to point out after I look through all your drawings.

Floor plans:
a. the section cut lines (i.e. A-A, B-B) only need to be showed on the first floor plan;
b. hand-rails on the floor plan at stairs and outdoor space in the upper floors are required;
c. arrows and break mark on the staircases (see example below) are requried;
d. name the exhibition spaces with "theme" instead of numbers.


Section drawing:
a. hand rail on the stairs and outdoor space at upper levels are required;
b. longitude section needs to cut through at least one flight of stairs;
c. please choose the elevation, NOT PERSPECTIVE, of people figures for section and elevation drawings (one way to tell the difference between elevation and perspective of people is to see if the heels of these people are on the floor after you place these figures on your drawing, otherwise they will look like walking on their toes in the museum) (see example below);
d. if you choose to poche, then you need to poche the base (foundation), cut walls, roof/floors and the cut stairs, because it needs to be consistent.


Elevation drawings:
a. Please do not apply shadow (I know that I said let's try shadows, but it did not turn out nice on your drawings);
b. if you have large area of glass on your facade, you need to divide the glass into smaller panels for support system, and this division could become part of your design (see examples below).
c. please do not use "gradient" color, unless you have obvious reason to (e.g. curved wall).





See-through isometric
a. use continuous lines for the hidden lines (interior) instead of dashed lines, but make sure to differentiate from the visible lines by line weight.

Lines
a. all lines and corners need to be flat cap / closed square corners (see instruction below).



Homework (due at the beginning of Monday class on Nov 18):
1. Please read the things above, and make changes to your floor plan, section and elevation accordingly. Print out the finalized drawings (with all the post-production done) at 1/8"=1'-0" scale on one large paper (36" in width, no limit on length, it is not the final board). After I see your drawings on Monday, I will let you know if you are ok to move forward to developing other diagrams and putting together all the drawings on the board. YOU MUST MAKE SURE WITH ME IF YOU DRAWINGS MEET THE STANDARD, and then you can move forward. You are required to get my approval to move forward no later than the end of the class on Wednesday, if not on Monday class.

2. Path analysis on see-through isometric drawing. For example please click here. You are required to have two traveling routs:

a. a path for visitors to go from the main entrance, through the lobby and get to all the exhibition areas.
b. a path for the staff to go from staff entrance (if applicable) to the offices.

You do not need to show how the visitors or staff will get to servant spaces (such as bathrooms, storages, ancillary, etc.). Please show the paths through using the main vertical circulation approach - for example, for visitors, if the main circulation approach is the main staircase, then the emergency staircase and elevator are not the main circulation approach. Main circulation approach may not be the same between visitors and staff. Please put this drawing on the same paper as other drawings in Homework 1.
