Precedent Studies – Typology of your project
Good design is often informed and inspired by precedent studies of previously designed projects. For this assignment, you will select two examples of your retail idea with adaptive re-use in mind. You are to compare and contrast.
Your digital presentation can incorporate text, images, quotes, etc. to describe basic facts about the project, for example: Location, Designer, Owner/Advocate, Date Constructed, Cost.
You will analyze each project with simple diagrams using Photos, plans sections and elevations to define:
Program- where are the space / what spaces are located in this example
Public vs. private
Hierarchy
Approach and Circulation etc.
Location
Light – natural and artificial
Scale
Interior Details/Materials
Context
A short 200 – 300 word narrative description of the design approach should be part of the presentation.
Do not forget to list of resources that you used.
