Site Planning

Hi Class,

If you are available let’s plan on meeting on the second floor in the corridor between my office and the tech learning center at around 11 am and we can head over to the poster session together.

See you in the morning.

Prof. King

All teams need to be ready to present.

Each team needs to upload all of their powerpoint presentations from this semester for use by the poster team.

The lecture notes from the second day on Zoning are now available to you on the course documents page.

Work on the poster is voluntary and will count as extra credit for those who participate and will help your semester grade.

The Poster Session will occur next Wednesday and Thursday.  We will need to have the poster completed by Tuesday.  If you are volunteering to help in the effort please email me or post a reply here.

It helps if the poster includes images in addition to words.  Things I think we should include would be to highlight the two field trips – how some of the materials or assignments or even the language of the assignments in both classes was more a combination of Mathematics and Site Planning language and the benefits you feel you experienced as a member of a learning community including friendship and support!

We should plan on meeting during the last 10 minutes of class to discuss this and set a plan.

Next Monday’s class will begin with a quiz on zoning and topography.  In addition to some short questions there will be 3-4 exercises to complete.  The exercises will include topography grading (just like we did together in class) and OSR and FAR calculations (again just like we did in class).

My recommendation is you study by reviewing the class notes I have posted and completing the exercise worksheets.  I recommend strongly that you repeat the topography grading exercises in preparation.

Keep this assignment to one or two pages at most.  You can also submit this as an outline instead of as written paragraphs. – in fact  I would prefer this format.  MS Word document only.

What I am looking for is your ideas about how Sustainability and Zoning interact.

For example you could list and describe the ways that current zoning might limit our ability to make a building or a site sustainable

-or-

You could list and describe how you think the zoning rules should be modified to make them more sustainable and to encourage sustainable design in sites and buildings.

-or-

You could write your own new sustainable zoning code!

BE CREATIVE!

These worksheets need to be completed and handed in on Monday at the beginning of our next class meeting.  If you will miss class for any reason scan and email me your answers by Midnight on Sunday.

Use these and the Topo-Exercises to study for the exam.

Instructions:

You need to complete all three sheets.  Each sheet has two areas to work.  The top area is your practice space.  Anything you put in the practice space will not be graded.  The bottom window is for your final solution – only this part will be graded.

To complete the exercises work in the following order:

1.  Ignore the buildings and draw arrows indicating how the water flows with the present contours.

2. Draw arrows to represent where you would like the water to flow.  The goal here is to have the water flow around the buildings.

3. Draw the location of the new contours & then color in to indicate both “cut” and “fill” as needed.

Completed sheets are due Monday April 30th at the beginning of class.

I have posted all of the Topo Worksheets so you can print nice clean copies and put together a nice set to hand in to me at our next class meeting. I have also included one sheet that is a compilation to some of the answers from the different exercises so you can use this as a guide when working on the take-home exam for the two other grading problems.

Go to Worksheets

I will look to post the Take-Home Grading Exam by Wednesday Night the 25th.

Good luck and post questions if you need help.

The second part of the quiz with the updated Topographic Map is now available.  Please print and bring this completed to our next class meeting.

Take Home Quiz – Part 2 of 2

ARCH_1250-Site-Planning-Topography

Here is the first part of the take home quiz. I need to rework the second part with an updated and more accurate contour map. I hope to have that for you by Wednesday.

In the meantime you can get a head-start by downloading and completing the first half which will require you to do some calculations and some drawing – to scale.

The drawings and all calculations must be on the sheets I have provided and are due at the beginning of next class.

Take Home Quiz – Part 1 of 2

Remember also to bring colored pencils (red & blue and a normal no2 pencil with an eraser)

The topic is “Circulation” – please refer to posted notes on lectures.

Please be on time to class as quiz will begin promptly at the start of class.
