Progress: Assignment 1

At this point (7 days until tutor-led crit, submission in 9 days, Sunday, September 8th) you should have a 'locked-down' building design, the model of the built form should be complete, your design for the layout of internal space should be complete, and the modelling of that internal space should be substantially underway, if not close to completion.

This means that you should be completely done with the model by Monday or Tuesday at the latest, giving you a further 4 days to prep the deliverables for the crit on Friday. I have reproduced the deliverables list here:

Deliverables:
  1. A computer model of the building, using SketchUp
    1. 3x representative 3D views
    2. animation (10-20 seconds) around the building (using SketchUp bookmarked views) to show the building from all angles
  2. 1x cross section
  3. plans of each level (dimensioned)
  4. elevations
  5. schedule of spaces (including areas)
  6. calculations of building areas and volumes
You should be aiming to present a 'completed' assignment to the crit on Friday, so that the jury (tutor and students) can respond to the entire project. Best case? There are no comments forthcoming from the crit, and as a result you can submit there and then and have the weekend off! Otherwise, you will have 58 hours to use comments received during the crit to improve your submission for midnight Sunday.

Submission is via PDF file with embedded views and animation, as well as the SketchUp model itself. I will post some information on embedding multimedia into PDF across the weekend.
