Course: Integrated Design Project III, Arch 5471

Year: 2023-24

Deliverables:

Key drawings to be included in the panels and deliverables are the following:

1. Location plan, sc. 1:500

2. Site plan, sc. 1:200

3. Site section, sc. 1:200

4. Concept presentation: short project description with text and graphics

5. Floor plans, overall sc. 1:100, [but 1:50 for blow up plans to show HVAC], furnished
and earmarked with levels, and possibly supported with key plan.

 Ground floor plan with adjacent environment,

 Upper floor plans.

6. Sections, overall sc. 1:100,

 At least one longitudinal and one cross section,

 Partial sections, if necessary,

 Be critical what to show in each section you have generated.

7. Elevations, sc. 1:100

 4 basic elevations with active entourage (people, vehicle, trees…etc.)

 Refer to your elevations based on compass direction

 Use different line weights to depict your formal composition

8. Details, use appropriate scale; and details shall be relevant to the project under
consideration

9. Two relevant facade sections, sc. 1:50

 Slab (floor) and wall (envelope) connection with material description,

 Roof and wall connection,

 Openings for light and ventilation, if any,

 Add furniture and humans for scale purpose.

10. Four External perspectives (from distinctly different directions and 4 corner views)

11. Six Interior perspectives (at 4 different spots and portray spatial qualities,)

12. Physical Model 1:200

 Add surrounding features (road, pedestrian ways…etc.),

 Maximum three hues are allowed in model material,

 The model shall not be monolithic mass, but well dissolved with openings and
special details, as the scale and method of creative execution permits,

 Represent landscape features you have in your model (trees, grass field,
steps, water bodies…etc.),

 Put North arrow and scale.

13. Design report: On A4 size paper and maximum of 30 pages

. The following focus areas shall structure the report:

 Table of contents

 Descriptions of the project

 General introduction

 Lessons learned from local and international case studies

 Accommodation

 Site and site analysis

 Urban considerations
  Concept or theme of the building

 Site development (Massing)

 Formal composition (Expression)

 Spatial quality and articulations

 Functional arrangements and flow

 Facade treatment

 Materials

 Sustainability features

 Technology

 Structural Solutions

 Natural lighting, ventilations and acoustics...etc.

 Building details: - openings, connections,...etc.

 Other building systems or services: - elevators, escalators, sanitary and

electrical duct provisions...etc.

 Conclusions

 Annex: PROJECT DESIGN PANELS, the Schedule of accommodation

and any other supportive material

Format:

Drawings shall be submitted on A1 paper, landscape format,

Design report shall be submitted on A4 paper, landscape format

(Note both submissions, PDF versions, shall be shared on Google Drive)

General remarks:

The following are some points that may inform your design accordingly.

1. Dedicated A1 size papers / PANELS/ for each building specialty noted underneath:

 Structural, MEP [Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing], Sustainability, Landscape,

Building Science, and Building Technology.

2. Remarks for submission:

 All sheets shall bear information about : University [with Logo ], College , Program ,
Course name , Course no., Project , Site location , Instructors name , Student
name , Drawing title, scale and date. Develop a title-box that contains all these
information and carefully decide where to place it on the sheet,

 Print all drawings at the specified scale,

 Information on elevations and sections has to be included also in all floor plans,

 Number of sheets to submit is left for your discretion,

 Your Drawing and Report submission shall be accompanied by a PDF file of each,
to be shared via Google Drive!

3. Remarks for presentation:

 You have a maximum of 10 minutes to present your project,

 You are advised to rehearse on your oral presentation,

 Start with giving the audience an overview of what they will see,

 Talk about the most important aspects of your project using the material you
present,

 Pin up your panels in order to have a good sequence,

 It is commendable to use notes with the important points.

4. Evaluation share is 45% and evaluation aspects include, but not limited to:

 Conceptual approach,

 Response to site/ urban context,

 Functional configuration,

 Formal and Spatial Qualities,

 Structural solutions and Construction schemes,

 Material proposal, quality of façade, and level of detailing,

 Sustainability features and level of innovation (in terms of Materials, structures,

construction system, green Architecture and creative solutions).

 Landscape considerations,

 Building systems, science and technology,

 Quality of layout, drawings and oral presentation,

 Quality of the model, [you are kindly advised to develop the Model parts in
advance than make it a one day attempt to Submission]

 Design report and its quality.
