Journal Entry For
Module 5/6 - Building Layout & Circulation Systems
Share your initial design including:
- a link to your Space Budget
- sketches or bubble diagrams showing the thinking behind your building layout
- a link to your personal folder (containing your Revit model files) within our shared Autodesk Construction Cloud Project
Free free to add whatever additional media you'd like to use to best share your ideas and design thinking!
We’ll continue to refine this initial design in the coming weeks and use it as the basis for your detailed systems designs in upcoming modules.
For 2 units
For this check-in you’ll create:
- Space Budget — a list that identifies the functions and dimensions of all the programmed spaces in your proposed design.
- Building Layout — a sketch or bubble diagram that shows the spaces in your proposed design with the connections between them as well as connections to exterior spaces.
- Building Model — an initial building model. This first model will have a very low level of detail (LOD 200), using generic walls to indicate the preliminary sizes and locations of the major programmed spaces (based on your space budget and building layout diagram). Include the:
- Exterior Walls — use generic walls to indicate the preliminary location of the exterior wall surfaces (don’t worry about modeling the windows, glazing features, and materials now -- you’ll do that next week in Module 7).
- Interior Walls — use generic walls to indicate the preliminary location of the interior wall surfaces (again, don’t worry about modeling the interior doors and architectural features -- you’ll do that in future weeks as you continue to design and refine your model).
For 3 units
Add these elements to your initial building model:
- Building Cores and Circulation Elements — place stairs and generic walls to indicate:
- the preliminary locations of the building cores (stair and elevators shafts)
- circulation spaces (corridors and hallways)
- and utility spaces (public restrooms and mechanical rooms)
