After my struggle to post on blogger...

FINAL SUBMITTAL - STUDIO-2 S08

WINTER SOLSTICE MORNING

View of my First Floor lobby at 10:00 AM on the day of Winter Solstice.

VESTIBULE PERSPECTIVE

An interior view of my finished vestibule design.

TURBINE ROOF REVISIONS

As per comments from Gerry, I've extended my roof overhangs to catch more wind and increase the velocity through the turbines.

ADDITIONAL IMAGE

This top image was posted at 3:27 AM Sunday, and it now shows a better view of the roof and access location. The is key because the ram system goes all the way up and is essential to bringing supplies and service materials up here. The West stair also comes up but materials would have to travel through the dorms and then up 18' of vertical stair. This way building services can take the elevator to floor 3 of the dorms and go directly on the ramps to the roof.

ELEVATIONS - NORTH WALL STUDY

I'm making a very powerful statement with the horizontal and vertical elements introduced to this elevation. Serving functional purposes and also working to both frame and divide the elevation they respond will with my spereation of space and purpose from my original Parti. The first element is the vertical bronze edge along the Northwest face. This like the front curtain wall elevation are very noticeable and strong ties to the vertical edge or termination. The windows pulling off this material will be tinted slightly and have frames matching the same color. I'm drawing the traveling eye to and from this edge to prepare for the next indication of space. The horizontal bands toward the center are actually louvers for my mechanical space. 4 squares in a row, and two rows ber mechanical room allow for plenty of fresh air to my AC units. I like the subtle but clearly identified gesture on this face without diminishing the property of this solid dramatic building form.

ELEVATIONS - TURBINE STUDY

I'm working on integrating my turbines into the elevation and looking for opinions for this solution.

PERSPECTIVES - NORTH

Amr,

Thank you for your comments. I am currently studying the elevations but for your viewing pleasure please reference the North Face of my building as per your request. The overhead perspective is what I expect is visible from the Gehry building.

PLANS - THIRD & FOURTH

PLANS - FIRST & SECOND

ELEVATIONS - SOUTH

A VERY quick material and perspective study. I am planning on using the following for the main materials of my building.

Metal Panel - Copper Color

Metal Panel - Bronze

Metal Panel - Beige

Metal Typical - Bronze

Stone Panels - Earth Tone (reflective)

Brick - Beige

Glazing - Light Blue Tint

PLANS - GROUND FLOOR (PARKING)

STILL WORKING

Traveling today and posting to other blogs has all but consumed my day except for the site plan revisions I posted. Good news. No more travel, lots more work, exciting work, on the way!!!

SITE PLAN

Here is the finished layout for my site. I will add color and elevations marks for the final as described in the project deliverables.

8:22 PM
Werner, I must just miss you everytime I post. Per your comments, yes I can add more information and color. I want to get this latest image up which describes the parking entrance much more. Hope you're still around to check it out!

SITE PLAN

DETAIL SHEET

Here is my latest Details sheet...

Werner, As per your comments I've added the sheating around the exterior of my building where the metal panels will be installed. Also, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to seperate the metal structure running over the top of my Dorm rooms. I can break the metal surface at the top where the clerestory windows are and at the bottom where it meets the exterior wall. As for the structure? I haven't been able to figure that out just yet.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION

Werner, Thank you for the comments. Please refer to the manufactureres detail as per installation of the Centria product. I'm not opposed to adding sheathing around the exterior it just wasn't called for in thier details. I can remove the batt insulation and agree this is not needed. Please refer to the updated detail image for the sun shading device as how I resolved the insulation/structure.

DETAILS

Below are a couple details from my project. I have to complete the foundation section but will do in the morning... later this morning. I will also add the louver placement and size within the curved ceiling panel. I plan on making these operable from inside probably using a small lever crank and gears with bicycle chain. This will be diagramed later today (Sunday).

Lighting Studies

Here are some initial lighting studies for my project...

Eddie, I have been continually trying to find a view or rendering that displays the depth of my design that describes the original SketchUp parti of the dorm rooms. I think this first image finally presents my solution in a successful manner.

Jaclyn, These are rendered in 3DS Max usng V-Ray for radiosity calculations. Revit exports and imports almost effortlessly. One light sourse (Sun) is illuminating all of these images.

After seeing this image below, I'm going to futher study the curved panel creating the roof for my dorm room and try to perforate them to direct light on the south interior wall also.
