Week 5
Week's SuccessesSolidifying block floor plans and continuing the exterior architectural articulation to the building were the major goals for the week. Connecting the building through outdoor spaces, skylights and open-to-belows grew the space into a series of nodes and green spaces giving it definition and verticality. The building is now flowing from hard structure to green space, which gives it rhythm and a connection to the surrounding landscaped grounds. This also gives options for users to either enjoy a natural space or a controlled air environment. This also gives a variety of access to spaces like the running track, library area and rooftop gardens.
Challenges
Challenges for the week were mostly inter-connecting digital plans between different programs. Ensuring all measurements carry throughout the plan from Sketch-up models to AutoCad documents was a time-consuming process. Fine-tuning drawings with standardized measurements was also a major goal this week and the group is closing in on accomplishing this goal. Blocking out and creating circulations were also worked out this week which is evident from the new floor plans.
