SD Presentation

1. Concept Development
• Graphic: parti sketch, inspirational images, pertinent developmental drawings and sketches
• Verbal: concise and clear presentation of design concept and intentions
2. Shell Analysis
• Circulation Analysis Diagram: Pedestrian, Vehicular Access (cars, buses, bicycles, taxis, mass transit) Parking (staff, visitors), Service (loading, unloading, waiting);
• Neighborhood Diagram: surrounding buildings (size, character, proximity); patterns of occupancy and use.
• Environmental Feature Diagram: Sunlight, Wind, Views, Acoustics, Vegetation (trees, garden spaces, paving), Privacy (surrounding buildings, structures, streets, sidewalks, alleys, etc.)
• Space Feature Diagram: Assessment and location of important architectural features to be preserved, restored, accentuated, or replicated; Structure: determination of bearing and non-bearing walls, locations of permanent structural elements: columns, beams, truss work, etc.; Mechanical Systems: locations of vertical plumbing and HVAC stacks, chase walls, etc.
3. Programmatic Relationships:
• Program: (typed) complete with square footage requirements, total square footage, circulation allotment, mechanical space, and special equipment needs.
• Prototype Block Diagram: Specific to your precedent analysis and selected program type.
• Adjacency Diagrams:
  
• two minimum; considered independent of your building shell.
  
• two minimum considered within the context of a multi-floor shell. Diagrams should explore both functional interrelationships (required adjacencies, groupings, sub-groupings, hierarchies, sequences) and formal interrelationships (Configurations, Patterns, Geometries).
4. Space Planning:
• Three schemes: hand drawn in plan and sectional; scale  (1/8"=1’-0”, 1/16"=1’-0”, as appropriate)
• Access, Circulation: Flow, Movement Sequences; Horizontal and Vertical; Locations of open and enclosed stairways, elevators, ramps, lifts; Points of public and private entrance and exit; provision of security, control if applicable
5. Detailed Development of Prototypical Elements:
   
• Typical Office, Workstation, Guest Room, Fittings etc. (hand or computer drawn plan at 1/4"=1’-0”)
6. Perspective Narrative:
   
• A minimum of four sequenced perspectives that describe movement through your project. Each perspective should also address how your concept is influential in shaping interior space.

SD content for discussion

1. ADA: Universal Accessibility and Special Needs
• Pertinent Anthropometric, Ergonomic Data: clearances, heights, etc.
2. Code Issues, Research:
• Occupancy Requirements
• Egress Requirements
• Stairs (Number, Type, Travel Distances)
• Plumbing Fixture Counts (Public Restrooms)
• Code Reference: 
• Mass State Building Code - 780 CMR 7th Editition
• Plumbing Code - 248 CMR 10.0
3. Completed Documentation of Building Shell
   
• CAD or hand-drawn; in plan, section, and elevation
• This includes cleaning your AutoCAD drawings to include only the information relevant to your project (Existing doors, walls, windows, shafts, vertical circulation, and mechanical shafts). Everything else should be removed from your AutoCAD drawings.
