ARCH 3612 Design VI Spring 2021

UrbanPlan:

• Update Site Plan and Financial Model
• Prepare the parts of the presentation – see Book for details
• Create block by block retail tenant list and find images of the “feel/look” this includes retail, parks, streetscapes….maybe even parking?

Site Visit – Optional – Saturday 3:30 corner of Hicks Street and Congress (opposite 100 Congress – is the building across the street)

Design 6 studio HW (Zoning & Site Inventory & Analysis)

• Please review today’s video (posted here) and update your zoning as per the PowerPoints.  The Zoning PowerPoints are posted here below – follow the links.
• Start your research for your inventory and analysis.  Please review the rough sample PowerPoint we used for an adjacent design project several semester ago
• (download site inventory analysis sample format here)
• We suggest you work with the basic format and categories with the menu on the left.  Remember the very first page needs to include the names of your team members, their photos, the course name/number/semester and your Prof’s names.
• EACH TEAM MUST SUBMIT A PLAN TO US BY SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWING HOW  YOU INTEND TO DIVIDE UP THE WORK AMONG YOUR TEAM MEMBERS
• Post Inventory and Analysis Research into the MIRO board.  You will be working on your formal presentations on Tuesday in class.  We will get you a better base map but you should make a rough version for yourself for now.

UrbanPlan – Presenting to UrbanPlan for Crit at 8:45am as a Team

• Work as a team to coordinate Site Plan and the Financial Model – can use our Zoom
• Prepare a Screenshot of the Site Plan and the Summary sheet of the Financial Model
• List your vision – highlight how your vision relates to your Site Plan (bullet points)
• List any questions for your UrbanPlan Reviewer

Zoning Envelope: – You are showing the envelope not the building

• Rework each of your individual Zoning Presentations – Remember they need to look like a ZD-1 Sheet.  Refer to the notes added by Hubert during class in our MIRO board… but be certain you do the following:
  • Add a titleblock – put your name and photo on it
  • Add a Map of the Special Zoning District – Indicate where your site is located
  • Remember some of these “Special Districts” give you the option to use standard zoning rules or the “Special District Rules”.  This is true for downtown Brooklyn and may be for the others.  YOU MUST USE THE SPECIAL ZONING RULES…
  • Remember- back up your decisions by specifying the zoning rule (As Per ZR 26-32)
  • Add one more sheet at the ends with all the zoning rules relevant to your project
  • If a rule does not apply – say it (for example – Sky Exposure Plane not applicable)
• It’s OK if you combine sheets – for example put both sections on one sheet or both Axonometrics on one sheet

Virtual Site Visit

• Begin to familiarize yourself with the site – take a virtual walk using street view
• Be certain to review the vidoes that have been posted (see last post)
• We will begin to develop the Site Inventory and Analysis

Team Work!!!!

• I would like each team to provide a weekly schedule showing when you plan on doing work for the course and who is able to attends each of the meetings – I do not expect that each of you can always meet as a complete group.
• I would like to see when you will work between Tuesday & Thursday and then Thursday to Tuesday (over the weekend)
• If anyone cannot meet – due to other responsiblities – please reach out to use (Prof. King & Prof. Bouratoglou) to let us know so we can help coordinate your group.  We recognize that group work between Tuesday-Thursday can be challenging –
