/n DIRECTIONS: Select a built project that relates directly to your upcoming selected design problem. Selection should also be based on personal interest and MUST be well documented within multiple sources using MLA or ALA format. Try to find example drawings such as plans, elevations, sections, ect. Your final document to be produced will be a 3 to 5+ page document (3 pages written minimum – double spaced) that is illustrated both verbally and graphically the factors below. In addition 3-5 page you will find three floor plan each images from different designs of the flowing spaces: 1. Kitchen 2. Living room 3. Main/Master Bedroom and Bathroom Lastly cut and paste this image as your typical bathroom layout Lastly cut and paste this image as your typical bathroom layout 96" 60" Put all of these images at the end of your paper. For you case study here are the factors to address. 1. Environment and micro-climate Analyzing the surrounding environment and the micro-climate of that place will help you understand the reason of the orientation of the structure, the kind materials and systems used in its construction. 2. User behavior and requirements Studying the functioning of a particular place, say a home, is very important; without which you will no be able to figure out the requirements and the area that should be allotted for each of the requirements. 3. Utility and space enhancement Study of Utilitarian facilities of a particular case is also important. Various measures taken to enhance a particular space should be analyzed. 4. Form and Function Analyzing the reason behind the form of that particular building...and how it merges with the surrounding environment. Form and Function go hand in hand. The form of the building should be able to convey the function of the building. A lot of architects and engineers say "Form follows Function". As an example, an institutional building should not end up looking like a museum or a disco. Some other architects or engineers might disagree with that philosophy. They'd say that the function of a structure keeps changing but changing the form of the building every time its function changes are not possible. 5. Site Planning and Landscape detailing ( Refer to the Article on the blog "A Guide to Site Planning", which deals with different aspects considered in site planning in greater detail. http://www.architecture- student.com/architecture/a-guide-to-site- planning/ 6. Structural details such as Column and Beam Design, Steel and Composite structures Understanding and analyzing the structural details is also important. For example, large span structures such as auditoriums use trusses or heavy I-section steel beams and sometimes shell-roofing that involves construction of ring beams whereas in small span structures, RCC construction is used. This is where you learn from reality, actual stuff, as opposed to only theoretical knowledge. Looking at places first hand and documenting information would give you many insights and ideas and let you peek into the minds of professional architects, engineers, and other designers who have used years of experience and improvisation to design and create incredible structures.
