• Miro board link (NEW LINK for this assignment): https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVL7x-Aw8=/?share_link_id=104920782867 (Password: AntoniGaudi)
• In-class Revit demonstration for interior walls, doors, and tags:  https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cqpg2cozh09e0mnzlzt9x/AHYdthG94N3GU60YowIma7I?rlkey=8c98o80ov5uazaqemf7bqibdt&dl=0

Complete the following for next class:

Model your building in Revit. Recommend following these steps when modeling:

1. Add levels based on floor heights
2. Add structural grid lines as discussed with your group mates (dimensioned at whole number intervals ex. 24′-0″) 
3. Model floor slabs & columns
4. Model generic, basic exterior walls to enclose your building (glass vs opaque using Revit’s default walls)
5. Model interior walls and doors (one, main floor only)
6. Tags for Rooms and Doors 

Create the following drawings and place it on a titleblock (you can reuse the 22×34 one from the Assignment 2 – Steel Connections or an alternate size if you’d like). Recommend 1/8″-1/4″ scale for these drawings. Print to PDF and post these on the Miro link above before class:

1. First floor plan
2. All elevations
3. Two sections (long and cross)

 

Happy Thanksgiving! Revised uploads for the facades assignment (rainscreen & glazing) should be uploaded to Brightspace and are due noon on Friday the 29th! Pay attention to what files should be uploaded for each submission on Brightspace.

Demo recordings for the facades assignment and introducing the new assignment have been uploaded to dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cqpg2cozh09e0mnzlzt9x/AHYdthG94N3GU60YowIma7I?rlkey=8c98o80ov5uazaqemf7bqibdt&dl=0

The final assignment is a drawing set case study of a steel structure library building.  You will work in teams to conduct research and to complete a case study presentation of the building.  The purpose of this presentation is to gather enough information for each team member to create their own independent set of Revit drawings.  (NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SHARE REVIT FILES – Doing so will result in failure for the semester.)

Teams are broken up as follows (with contact information): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/y02o2z6yw0wmpqalmvxkp/Research-Groups.pdf?rlkey=cl6m00nqo4stx9vag9328f3ht&st=l58qgqxm&dl=0

For next class, 12/3, your teams will make use of the following PowerPoint templates for your presentations. When signed into Dropbox, please select “Open in” and “Powerpoint for the web”, this will allow your entire team to work on the slides simultaneously. Follow the instructions on the first slide:

• Children’s Library Discovery Center / 1100 Architect / Jamaica, NY (Lesley, Britny, Gladys, Carlos)
• Elmhurst Branch Library / Marpillero Pollak Architects / Elmhurst, NY (Stacy, Jessica, Ashton, Michael)
• Glen Oaks Branch Library / Marble Fairbanks /
  Glen Oaks, NY (Bryan, Anh, Miriam, Sherlyne) 
• Weeksville Heritage Center / Caples Jefferson Architects / Brooklyn, NY (Mumtaheena, Avril, Andrew, Alexis)

You will find starter information about these buildings on the OpenLab page below. It is expected you will do a great deal of additional research.

• Openlab Library Research

Notes about your presentations:

• In this file add your initials to any page you contribute to.
• Underline the initials of the person who will present each page.
• Provide URL Link on each page to your sources.
• You may want to copy pages if you need more than one slide in any topic.

A PDF copy of your presentation is due by Monday, 12/2, at 11:59pm uploaded to Brightspace. 

The final submission for the facades assignment will be 11/21 and will we break up the pin up over two days (11/21 & 11/26). Think about which day you would like to present glazing and which for rainscreen, and we will vote during the next class.

This means we only have 2 more classes before the pin-up, so you will need to push hard to catch up with the modeling and drawings! Everyone is greatly behind where we need to be. You will need to be strategic about what should be 3d modeled (only a limited extends necessary for your diagrams) and what can be drawn (screws,sealant, etc.).

• See photos of the class drawings, rainscreen diagram examples, and prior semester student examples from this folder:  https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/t9esc9hmk2f64eqt7ehjv/AFzFBf1G5Ajdjmsbj-Q4B3Y?rlkey=bv5wd20dx585ixe0u134sungm&st=864r49f9&dl=0

For Thursday to be a productive class, you will need a draft completed of your rainscreen sheet along with your draft narrative. See the previous post for what drawings and details are expected. 

We will not have time to demonstrate modeling in class anymore, we will be focusing on assemblies and the drawings from now on. Refer to previous recordings for Revit demonstrations. Please contact me and we can schedule a Zoom session to review any modeling issues.

I hope you all enjoyed our site visit on Thursday, please upload any photos or videos you have to this folder to share with the class: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/5xgakwtmx30ishwjaadwm/AGlUqM1A5LmO1v7HbC0lAWA?rlkey=el32wqyhrlhced6gpn9hjdk57&st=32ddtndz&dl=0

The final submission for the facades assignment will be 11/21 and will we break up the pin up over two days (11/21 & 11/26). This means we only have 3 more classes before the pin-up, so you will need to push hard to catch up with the modeling and drawings! To help you create a narrative for your facade systems, please complete a draft of this word document (you can download and edit it directly) by the next class: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4uy64qk30rv7q478g0a5r/ARCH2431-Building-Tech-III-Facade-Narrative.docx?rlkey=s28cziiz5c1kk4ksitxiu9f23&st=sb1kcnqk&dl=0

Additionally, the following is due for the next class (11/12):

• Draft narrative from word document linked above
• Rain Screen [FOCUS ON THIS]
  • Panelization should be complete. If not, move on.
  • Pick one vertical sliver of your rainsceen to model in greater detail showing the backup wall, subframing, and cladding attachments to your panel. The rest of the model can use a generic wall as a backup wall. This should go from the parapet down to the ground and should include a window (example below).
    •  
      • The subframing and backup wall do not need to be a parametric model! Simply model the L-angles or Z-girts or hat channels as generic models!
      • If your manufacturer does not include these details, look at your classmates’ research for examples or simply look online (Google) for examples of rainscreen cladding attachments. There are many manufacturers (ex. KnightWall, EcoCladding, Cascadia Clip, GreenGirt)
      • See examples from this folder: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/2b3d8w4nm7ntv7x5s1q87/ANrbUFr7GylKbYnk6lmyYRQ?rlkey=vus4yxrthuht8alm7dfu0zu2j&st=elo0rpjx&dl=0
  • Set up views on your sheets including:
    • 4 views of overall model 
      • Start this by working at 1/8″-1/4″ scale 
      • Dimension panel sizes and align your views
    • 3d axon diagram
    • 4 views of typical structural bay, including a window, as we saw in the example drawing set in class
      • Should be at a larger scale than the overall model
    • Details (1-1/2″ or 3″ scale):
      • • Typical vertical and horizontal joint
        • Jamb/Head/Sill detail around the punched windows
        • Outside corner
        • Inside corner
        • Parapet
        • Base Curb detail
• Glazing (This should be done by now. If your parametric model does not work, then please model the elements individually directly in the file and move on) 
  • Set up views on your sheets including:
    • 4 views of overall model 
      • Start this by working at 1/8″-1/4″ scale 
      • Dimension panel sizes and align your views

Due for next class:

• Rain Screen [FOCUS ON THIS]
  • Finalize panelization to be within the max/min requirements based on your research. Pay attention to panel sizes around the fixed windows and use that as a guide (similar to structural grid for glazing).

The lack of progress and attendance is becoming UNACCEPTABLE!!! You must post your drawing progress for Thursday’s class. This is the 5th class for the facades assignment and some of you still have not shown any drawings for the glazing and rainscreen system. Points are being deducted from your assignments & midterm grade, and ultimately final grade, because of this.
