As you begin to work on your building you will need to study the relationship between the facade, the slab and the column grid.  To answer this question you must begin to study how the facade of the building is made.  You can do this by researching similar details, researching your building, looking at manufacturers websites for reference materials and by reading from either the Ching book or the Allen/Iano book.

Each you must be able to answer the following questions in order to draw your slab correctly and locate you column grid correctly.

• Where is the face of the facade?
• Where is the edge of the slab?  (how far back from the face of the facade is the slab?)
• Where is the first line of columns and the first column grid located? (how far back from the face of the facade is the center of the first column?)

You should answer these questions by drawing your solution in your Revit model.  Create a callout view of the corner of the building at 1 1/2″ = 1′-0″ and add dimensions.

Moving forward as we work on our semester long building projects there will be a progress check grade almost every class.  These grades are marked complete/incomplete based on whether you meet the deadline or not.

The goal of these deadlines is to make certain you make weekly progress on the development of your buildings.  Deadlines are typically midnight the evening before a class meeting.  Late submissions of progress assignments will not be accepted.

The first three progress submissions will be as follows:

• Due 09/26          06.01 Building Grids & Levels
• Due 09/30          06.02 Building Slabs and Exterior Walls
• Due 10/03          06.03 Building Columns-Beams and Foundations

It is critical that you meet deadlines and are ready for all pinups.  Pinups are not optional but are mandatory. 

Your grades will be lowered if you do any of the following:

• If you do not participate in the Pinups
• If your work is not submitted on time
• If your work is not properly uploaded to blackboard when required
• If your work is not posted to Openlab when required,

Several of you have missed both of our important Pinups.  You should be aware that although it is early in the semester you are already jeopardizing your ability to pass the course.  Below are grading statistics for the Scavenger Hunt Best Study.  Too many students have received F grades for not completing their work, pinning up or posting their work on blackboard.

By next class you must have created your openlab site and posted the link.  You must also complete the 3 boards described in a previous post and put these on your own site.

By Sunday evening you must post to blackboard the first stage of the CONNECTIONS assignment.  You should have created the steel column and beam and positioned these to match the reference page from the Ching book,  Then create a minimum of 4 views- plan, 2 elevations and an isometric and format these on a 22 x 34 sheet.   Post this to blackboard by Sunday Sept 16th by midnight.

These progress assignments will receive grades.
