Semester 2 - Revit (40%)
Introduction
Individually you are to produce a fully integrated 2D/3D models and associated documentation for
the given Design and Access Statement using Revit. This piece of coursework is a vehicle for gaining
understanding of the essence of understanding and awareness of the architectural drawing and
relationship to spatial elements. This coursework asks you to prepare a series of annotated
architectural drawings using Revit. The model can be your own house or a small building.
The 3D drawings submitted must be rendered using Revit and you should try to endeavour to portray
material, texture and shadowing qualities. The inclusion of the wider context occupied the
architecture, such as trees, bushes, landscape features, etc. must also be carefully considered. All
drawings and figures need to ‘appear' as a comprehensive set and need to be appropriately titled.
Drawings in 2D/3D must be thoughtfully composed, students will be acquired to deliver a
presentation in weeks 10-11. During the verbal presentation students will have the opportunity to
discuss their design and show command of their Revit model.
Individual PowerPoint presentation with (~20 slides) will need to be uploaded onto Canvas with
appropriate 2D/3D figures of the model house/building.
e.g.: Name_18001223
(obviously replace with your name and UoB number).
Project Aims
The aims of the Comprehensive Revit Design Project are:
To understand the relationship between the model and its immediate site.
To design a model that meets the general and self-imposed functional requirements and
responds creatively to the identified user's needs.
●
When submitting your work please upload the PowerPoint file onto canvas, name the file in
the following format: Your name and uob number)
●
●
To explore the appropriate use of materials.
To develop design skills (spatial, formal & material integration)
To integrate the knowledge achieved in the other modules.
To integrate a specific typology into the design process.
To apply all previously acquired design & expressive skills.
To further develop presentation and graphic abilities. Project Objectives
The general objectives of The Comprehensive Revit Design Project are:
To develop a unique narrative for your chosen client & site
To research and respond creatively to a given site, understanding it as a Real context
To develop a design concept in response to the project brief and site, and to design a building
to follow this proposed concept.
To design an ergonomic and functional space, identifying & synthesizing user's demands
To design an exciti space that responds well to the brief.
To communicate effectively the design intentions / ideas through models, graphics and verbal
presentations.
To design a pertinent building envelope with a sound structural system.

Every project must adhere to the following requirements:
●
●
You will have to produce a 2D/3D model of a house/building.
You should also consider any external covered spaces and all the necessary landscaping that
will integrate your proposal to the existing conditions of the site (paths, vehicular access,
parking, gardening, etc.).
Each design must integrate the understanding of the dwelling.
The ergonomic implications must be fully analysed and this understanding used to inform
your design.
Please bear in mind the FOLLOWING!
Clearly illustrate both initial ideas and the design as it develops, together with the precedents
that have inspired your design.
How well your model is designed in response to the light throughout the day.
The submission of a complete set of work which clearly and effectively communicates your
project.
Accurate and correctly drawn drawings of your final project.
PowerPoint presentation slide layout are well thought through and easy to understand.
Your verbal presentation of your work and ideas.
Marking Criteria/Scheme
Focused analytical assessment of the understanding of the architectural aims through sectional and
plans employed. Drawings must be annotated to give a personnel understanding and view point.
However the section and components MUST clearly indicate the spatial formations of space planning
by enclosure/ structure. The layout and presentation of your work must be considered and marks
will be deducted if your work is unclear. Marks will be awarded for the following:

● Shows evidence of extensive research from a variety of sources.
Includes a selection of suitable recommendations and strategies which are most likely to reposition
both organisation in such a way as to optimise their prospects.
● Contains an absolute minimum of spelling or grammatical errors.
Includes thoroughly effective use of referencing with a minimum errors (making full use recommended
system is the Harvard system).

An individual report in PowerPoint that:
Demonstrates an interpretation of the majority of the issues and presents them in an understandable
format.
Basic understanding/ awareness of the spatial understanding. Appreciates the features of the building
project design.
● Shows evidence of research that relies on a limited source.
● Includes a selection of suitable recommendations for the client's organisation together with
justifications for the recommendations made. ● Includes some references.
39% or below
An individual report in MS Word that:
Interprets the majority of the issues incorrectly with little appreciation of the features of the remit and

Is poorly presented.
Includes unclear recommendations for the client organisation i.e. the University.
Does not use references or demonstrates totally inadequate background research.
Feedback arrangements:
You can expect to receive feedback during the timetabled sessions. Formative feedback will be provided by
discussing on your ongoing progress. Summative feedback will be provided following the final report
submission.
