A2 Building System Needs

A2 Building System Needs

  Building Systems Features
Aim Define the features of a building system (agile prototype)
Tools Pen and paper / computational design
Case Building System (for focus area)
Groups Same group as A1 (2 to 3 people)
Practice In class activity in week 3 and 4
Output Drawings / digital prototypes (i.e. grasshopper)
Submit Markdown file + final drawing demonstrating completion of AP1 (including ‘line’, ‘segments’ and ‘features’)

Assignment

  • Complete AP1 steps for your selected building system
  • As disciplinary experts in your selected system we expect you to be able to go further than you managed in the first assingment with cup.
  • Once you have completed your first iteration of AP1 for your selected system, you should apply it to the ‘real’ building example. This will help you to identify the features that we might expect to see in each segment. You can also note the functions, but please keep them seperate. In this case we identify the features so that we can reverse engineer the functions in the staging process in the next assignment A3.
  • Now adapt your line, segment and feature diagram so that it works also works in the case of the provided building.
  • This adapted final line, segment and feature drawing is the one that you should submit.
