123 Final Presentation

Description: This page provides details about the final presentation of the Lake Shore Trail Project.

The following components are the required: 

Site Plan (Updated AutoCAD files and pdfs of the site plan and section are available for you in the Group Project Folder. Look for a folder called Site Drawings.)

• Scale: 1/16" = 1'-0"
• Orient your plan to true north (the 64' x 64' square will be rotated on the plan).
• Include at least the full ellipse, the path around the ellipse, and the edge of the lake.
• Show the roof plan of your structure, topographic contour lines (very light), paths/sidewalks (light), tree canopies (very light), lampposts (light)
• Use annotations to indicate true north, title text, and the scale.

Site Section

• Scale: 1/16" = 1'-0"
• Your section could be a longitudinal section or transverse section.
• Include the section of your structure within your site section drawing.
• Section cut lines must be heavy lines, and elevation lines must be light lines.
• Include trees beyond (very light).
• Use annotations to indicate title text and scale.

Floor Plan (one for each level):

• Scale: 1/4" = 1'-0"
• The plan should be rotated so that the 64' x 64' platform is perpendicular/parallel to the sheet. The lake should be on the north (top) side of the sheet.
• The plan cut profile lines must be heavy. Objects below must be light. Overhead planes and objects must be shown with a light hidden line (space between dashes to be 1/2 length of dashes). 
• Use annotations to indicate true north, section and elevation placement, title text and scale. Do no include room names. Show objects like seats and plumbing fixtures to describe the function of spaces.

Section: 1/4" = 1'-0", at least one

• Scale: 1/4" = 1'-0"
• Section can be north-south or east-west.
• Section cut profile lines must be heavy. Elevation lines must be light. 
• At least one scale figure must be included.
• Choose the most informative place to cut your section.
• Use annotations to indicate title text and scale.

Elevation: 1/4" = 1'-0", at least two

• Scale: 1/4" = 1'-0"
• Ground line must be heavy. Elevation lines must be light. Detail liines should be very light.
• At least one scale figure must be included.
• Choose the elevations that describe the most about your project.
• Use annotations to indicate title text and scale.

Model

• Scale: 1/4" = 1'-0"
• Must have moving parts
• Must have its own base that fits inside the group model.

Process Diagrams: At least three.

• The diagrams should tell the story of your process.
• The diagrams could be images that you collected during the design process (photos of folded studies, early plan studies, etc.).
• You can trace or re-construct the process through your diagram.
• The diagrams can be two- or three-dimensional.
• Use annotations to indicate title text and/or description.

Solution Diagrams: At least one tectonic diagram showing assembly details, one parti/concept diagram, and one other diagram of your choice.

• The diagrams should tell the story of your solution.
• For your "other" diagram, choose a diagram type that tells something important. If circulation was not an important consideration, don't make it the subject of a diagram.
• The diagrams can be two- or three-dimensional.
• Use annotations to indicate title text and/or description.

Three-dimensional representation(s)

• If you are drawing by hand or your not modeling in 3D, you need one 1-pt perspective, one 2-pt perspective, OR one paraline drawing
• If you are using 3D modeling software, you need two rendered representations

Additional requirements:

• Annotation graphics should be clear but understated, not too strong or bold.
• The arrangement of your presentation drawings must take into consideration sequence, alignments, and composition.

The following are are up to you:

• Sheet size and orientation 
• The use of software or analog methods
• Type of paper
• Use of color and rendering/drafting technique
• Model materials

Post-Critique Documentation: In addition to presenting to the class, you are required to upload at least 20 images of your model, scans of drawings made by hand, and digital files of computer generated work. All must be portfolio-quality. For students who are using software, you must upload the native software files (eg. Revit and Autocad files) and pdfs of your sheets.

Assessment:  

The final presentation is valued at 24% of your final grade. The grade will be divided equally between the following categories:

• Craftsmanship: neatness, precision, care in the execution of the model and drawings
• Composition and Graphics: clarity, correct use of lineweights, inclusion of notations, arrangement of drawings on sheets, consistency of presentation style
• Design Solution: Firmness, Commodity and Delight (see below); meeting of requirements specified on this page: Lake Shore Trail Project
