SUMMATIVE


Here are a couple of sketches of the layout.
Summative Tech Design (Due June 13th)
We will be proposing a self-sustaining community that uses a small plot of land 100m x 100m. You will be given a section of the lot to carry out your project. We will be following the LEED guidelines for the project overall. The overall complex will have three tiers. The bottom tier (which extends below ground) contains most of the public buildings/facilities and has a maximum height of 10metres(of which a maximum of 5 metres extends above ground). The second tier contains a mix between public, live/work, and residential spaces with a maximum height of 6 metres, the third tier is purely residential with a maximum height of 8 metres. Every unit will have provisions for electricity generation/conservation, garden space, wastewater processing. Your design and model will encompass the interior and exterior space of your chosen building and will include material and process decisions appropriate for a LEED certifiable project. In addition, the buildings will need to be accessible. All models will be carried out at a 1:100 scale. As the project develops, track the progress on your own blog. Link your blog to Prestontechdesign.blogspot.com
Choose from the list below, and sign up for your chosen building (first-come, first-served).

Steps in preparation
1. Create a 1:100 scale photo of yourself in Photoshop.
2. Brainstorm a list of necessary elements/features for your building.
3. Supplement your brainstorm with a case study of a related building. What about your building will improve upon existing structures?
4. Address at least 4 credits from the LEED Checklist. Be specific. Research products and processes appropriate to the particular credit. For example, Material Resources Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Resources could be addressed in part with the use of cork flooring,
5. Create hand sketches of the building design.
Drawings
Create a detailed set of dimensioned floorplans and elevations for your building and lot. You can use softplan, Autocad, Illustrator, or do hand drawings. In the bottom right of your drawings, be sure to include a title block with the name of the project, date, scale, drawing number.
Models
Build a scale paper model of your building including all of the interior and exterior walls, doors, windows, roof and any other visible feature. Pay attention to accurate and realistic construction.
Create all of the landscaping as well. You are responsible for the entire lot.
Design Sample Board
This board helps to visualize your finished aesthetic. Choose paints & finishes, furniture, flooring, fixtures, landscaping
All of your material choices should fit the criteria for LEED certification.
Class Project
Contribute your building to the large model and assist with some of the assembly.
Display
Combine your model, your drawings and your sample board into a coherent project display.
Documentation
Take a digital photograph of your model and place the scale version of yourself into the photo. Post your finished photos on your blog.
Report
Answer the following in full sentences. Some information may be derived from your blogs.
1. Describe the building you created. Create a marketable statement (min 100 words).
2. What is your building? How does it fulfill its purposes in an environmentally sustainable way?
3. What were some of the challenges that you encountered in this project?
4. How does your design adhere to LEED standards?
5. What is the most innovative aspect of your design?

Concept Sketches
Create a series of hand drawings of your building. Be sure to include indoor and outdoor spaces in your drawings. Create a series of at least 3 thumbnail sketches and a more accurate plan view (overhead) and at least one elevation. Scale is approximate at this point. Drawings are due at the end of class.
