In person field trip

Hi all. Want you to be prepared for tomorrow so a few key points:

Please be at the location at the link at 2:30pm tomorrow, as our tour will start at 3pm: https://goo.gl/maps/XPLw1rZaXcWgQbSc7 It will be the building with the bright orange fins around all of the windows. If its cold and you’re hanging out somewhere just text me at 917 971-6776 and I’ll tell you when to come to the building.

I’ve attached an assignment to submit to blackboard by Friday evening. Review it before getting to the site so you have ideas of what to ask, but please don’t limit yourself to just what I wrote. You should fill this out some time after class time.

Don’t forget your hardhats!!!!

Building Height

Question:
What is the building’s height that we are currently making the plans and elevations for?

Solution:
Utilized the elevation drawings of maison Gartte-Cie case study project on OpenLab. You know the long East-West dimension (55’) from the dimension diagram. Use that information to scale the elevation drawings. You are encouraged to do more research on the case study building including it’s dimensions, consider searching for more drawings and evaluating building pictures.

A clarification on “Sketchbook/notes” submissions.

We review your “Sketchbook/notes” four times over the semester [see the class schedule or the dates below]. You should keep up to date with the weekly assignments, so you are prepared for class and do not have a big set of notes to complete at once. You should include notes on your reading and on the lectures. You should also keep a list of useful AutoCAD tricks, key commands, and functions. I will be sharing some examples of good “Sketchbook/notes” submissions in future classes. Please include your own diagrams, and sketches in addition to any written notes you take.

  • Wednesday, 02, 15, 2021 Sketchbook/notes 1of4
  • Wednesday, 03, 22, 2021 Sketchbook/notes 2of4
  • Wednesday, 04, 14, 2021 Sketchbook/notes 3of4
  • Wednesday, 05, 24, 2021 Sketchbook/notes 4of4

Question: Should I show the property lines in the site plan. The lines are in red, is this how you wanted the site plan? 

Yes, please include the property lines in your 300:1 scale drawing. Typically, in AutoCAD the line color sets the printing line weight. We will discuss that in 2-9-21 class. The line type should be either, long dash and two short dashes (for property lines) or just straight long dashes (for lot lines).
