Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies

• Design Goal 1: too build an exhibition space that interacts with the environment around it
• Measure:  visual assessment
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value: non-disruptive aesthetics
• desired / target value: complements existing environment
• Strategies:
• one design strategy that I’d like to explore in my design to achieve this goal is using materials sourced from the environment
• a second design strategy is following the landscape (not suggesting a 20 story building at the Dish)
• general color scheme
• using natural light as much as possible

• Design Goal 2: incorporation of green areas within project
• Measure: ratio of green to built area
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value: 1:3 (25%)
• desired / target value 1:2 (50%)
• Strategies:
• one design strategy that I’d like to explore in my design to achieve this goal is creating spaces for greenery within built units
• a second design strategy is to have greenery inside and on built units
• a third design strategy is to have some sort of garden to grow foods used in operation of building

• Design Goal 3: use of sustainable materials
• Measure:  make sure all material choices are purposeful and decrease energy usage
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value: mainly wood, steel
• desired / target value: no concrete
• Strategies:
• one design strategy that I’d like to explore in my design to achieve this goal is using materials that are produced by legal workers
• a second design strategy is to use soil to make walls (reference of winery)
• maybe a third strategy is to have water recycling within building system
• fourth strategy: renewable energy sources
