Module 12 - Sharing Your Project
Overview
Replace this text with your reflections on your design journey through class from a higher level and share your insights about the entire experience. What were:
- Key / Essential / Unique Design Features that you explored in your project.
- A lot of daylighting with skylights and curtain walls on the south walls
- Green roof
- Smaller backs of buildings and less windows to minimize heat lost that way
- Your Big Successes -- what worked very well and what features you're most proud to share as examples to inspire others.
- I was able to get daylighting in every room
- And no collisions between MEP systems, structural, and architectural design
- Your Big Challenges -- what aspects of the project created the biggest challenges and what would you do differently (in hindsight) to avoid or overcome these challenges.
- Coordination between all my built systems (MEP, arch, struct)
- HVAC design was a big challenge, as some spaces did not get analyzed as Iād hoped and I needed to do some by hand, as well as sizing the systems was tough and weavigin it through the structural design
- Lessons Learned -- what sage words of advice would you share with other students who are embarking on a similar project.
- Give yourself space for material changes and proper stacking/weaving of systems.
- Implement as many passive techniques as possible to avoid collisions.
- Think about features/fixtures (plumbing & HVAC) and how they connect when doing the bubble diagram for spacing.
Video Presentation / Tour of Your Project Features
Replace this text with a link to your Video Presentation / Tour.
