Research into precedents (3) related to the project Site selection and research Preliminary material research Preliminary analysis and response to the AIA COTE Competition Ten Sustainability Measures Preliminary sustainable system research Preliminary mechanical/lighting/daylighting research Preliminary structural research Schematic design (to include all of the above along with the items below as a minimum) -Massing (including multiple studies) -Overall Site plan/Floor plans -Diagrams (circulation, structure, etc.) -Site sections/building sections Presentation consistent with the AIA COTE Competition guidelines Part 2 Producing [see calendar for review This next phase is about taking what you have gathered and doing something remarkable or ‘amazing’. All of your research has to be accounted for and integrated at some level into this stage. Iteration is critical to Part 2. The goal is to investigate and essentially ‘test fit’ all of the aspects related to the project. Concept, program, site, codes, myriad technologies and all the aspirations you have for the project must all work to form a cohesive whole. The longer you wait the more difficult the integration will be. How good was the ‘educated guess’ and how much did you have to change? Consider this to be a required list of information you will need for the Producing phase: More established (think ‘solid’) Theoretical position\Concept based on readings and assignments Integrate Program into schematic design Integrate Site selection and uniqueness of site conditions into schematic design Integrate Material research into schematic design Integrate the AIA COTE Competition Ten Sustainability Measures into the schematic design Refine sustainable system research and incorporate into schematic design Integrate preliminary mechanical/lighting/daylighting research Integrate preliminary structural research Design development solution (to include all of the above along with the items below as a minimum) -Massing (refined) -Overall Site plan/Floor plans -Diagrams (circulation, structure, etc.) -Site sections/building sections/wall sections -Building elevations -Perspectives (interior/exterior) Presentation consistent with the AIA COTE Competition guidelines Part 3 Presenting [see calendar for review dates]
