The difference between v6 and v7 is that I changed the graphics display of v6 from consistent colours to textured. This is especially evident in the perspective view, where you can see the graining of the wooden floor, which isn’t shown in v7.
Design memo of 250 to 400 words: what your calculated field computes and what it told you, and what you learned about your own design from having to document it.
For Module 5, interior furnishings were placed and a ceiling was developed for the first-floor office space. When setting up some of the interior furnishings, some design changes had to be made to the building envelope. For example, some windows were located in awkward positions when a more detailed interior layout was developed; thus, certain windows were moved or deleted to better fit spaces. For example, after placing the various components for the bathrooms, I realized that some of these windows had to be removed to accommodate the updated floor plan. Similarly, I updated the doors on the office floors, so that the doors would open towards walls (reducing the amount of usable area taken up, which could then be used for other purposes) and shifted them slightly to more reasonable locations.
When placing the furnishings for the office spaces and ground floor commercial space, most of my design decisions were influenced by furnishings common to meetings rooms and commercial spaces that I have been in before. For example, meeting rooms were furnished with a plasma screen, for projecting onto, and a conference table with chairs. Components such as upper and lower cabinets, an island, a fridge, and seating areas were placed in the kitchen area to mimic common furnishings found in a typical office kitchen.
For the space schedule, I set-up a calculated field that determined the percentage of total area for each space. This helped visualize how much of the total area in the space schedule (which was filtered to just include the ground commercial floor and first floor of office space), was allocated to each space type. From this calculated field, it can be seen that a significant portion of the total floor area is dedicated towards retail spaces (on the ground floor), the ground floor lobby, and the kitchen space of the office floor. Documenting this metric allows me to see ahead of time which parts of the building design may be more energy-intensive/load-heavy due to their larger square footage.
