Some W.D. Scribbles.

Worth understanding the forces involved to determine an economic, elegant and plausible solution to the design of the tech.

Remember Architectural details are about the finish and jointing and connection of materials and planes. Research is required for understanding the fixing and connection requirements, and span and properties of the materials being specified.

Here is a thought about the blockwork wall at the lower floor store under the grandstand seating.

WD Grading

This is the rubric header/ criteria for how grading works.

Assessment Project	Project Brief [Proforma]	Project Brief [On Time]	Project Brief [Filename]	Project Brief [Format]	Project Brief [Efficiency]	Project Brief [Workflow]	Project Brief [Completion]	Text [Printing]	Text [Media]	Text [Titleblock]	Text [Consistency]	Text [Elements]	Text [Dimensions]	Text [Grid]	Graphics [Line Styles]	Graphics [Backlining]	Graphics [Material Hatch]	Graphics [Sheet Layout]	Graphics [Elevations]	Building Elements [Objects]	Building Elements [Details]	Building Elements [Research]	General Feedback	Score	Grade
	10.00%							30.00%							30.00%					30.00%			Task Weighting	Score	Grade

Will explain further in class, what each of these elements means, although hopefully, it is somewhat self explanatory.

Transformations

Been as while.

Okay, It's been a while. Here are the summary briefing notes for WDMPO2

1. Read Both the structural information (for sizes, and possible solutions) with the design drawings, (for intent), The design drawings are the brief.

This is actually a FUN project. (No, it's not an acronym). This is where design merges with WD. Think previous project entry canopy. It very much emulates what would happen in an office. You may not have been involved in the design stage of the project, but you are now.

Determine a basic grid setout.

Analyse and interpret the materials palette.

Start working out/ (unlocking) some of the key connection details, that set out some of the structure.

1. Box Gutter Detail. Make the section as shallow as possible. A box gutter depth of 175mm is as shallow as I would like. Set the roof angle to 1.5 or 2 degrees, they do not need to be symmetrical. Also consider cutting into the roof beam.

Building will have a variety of materials.
