Stage 03/04 final submission requirements
Here are the submission requirements for the final presentations. It is up to you to ask questions about the requirements prior to submission on Friday, December 4th, at 4:30 PM. No late work will be accepted, and all minimum requirements must be met in order to present on Monday, December 7th. Late work will receive a minimum of a 1 letter grade reduction if accepted.
All requirements displayed are minimums. It is up to you to determine the balance between quality and quantity necessary to present your project in the most thorough and positive light.
Do not hesitate to ask any questions on these, and remember to add money to your laser cutter and print accounts prior to leaving for the break. This will allow you to come back to things and begin cutting your bases immediately upon return.
Final Model (1) - Final models will be constructed at various scales from person to person, but should have a base no larger than 30"L x 16"W. Scales will range from 1/16"=1'-0" to 1/50"=1'-0". For some of you, it may be necessary to crop to a portion of the model in order to keep it a manageable size. The determining factor for the size of the model is based on the maximum size of the smallest laser cutter. A larger model could be considered, but is not necessarily recommended due to the time constraints.
The construct portion of the model can be built with basswood, chipboard, clear or frosted acrylic sheet, and various forms of metal. This portion of the model will not be painted and should be built to an exacting, highly articulated standard. Excess glue between pieces, and rough edges will not be considered acceptable.
The context elements, or "shards," would be best built of solid mdf pieces glued together and sanded smooth. These pieces of the model will be painted flat black.
The construct and surrounding "shards" will be supported in space with threaded rod as used in previous models. The placement of these rods and suspended elements should be determined prior to construction of the model and model base.
The model base will be constructed using 2 layers of 1/4" plexiglass held together by threaded rod and hex head screws. Between the two plexiglass pieces will be a print to be determined. This print will be either a list of operational terminology used during the course of the semester or an image collage printed on transparency as previously done in studio. Since this is the final week of studio, it is of the utmost importance that you get your materials and files submitted to the laser cutter in an expedited fashion. This is typically the heaviest week for laser cutter activity, and since this is what you will build your model on you need it as soon as possible.
Plan/Section Plates (2-4) - Each plate will include 1 final plans and 1 final section, and should include titles, section markers, and other required graphic symbols included within the examples. Prints will be made on high quality paper and should be spray-mounted on black gator board if the cost constraints permit. All drawings should maintain appropriate and consistent lineweights. Plates should be designed with crop marks, and be of a consistent size when trimmed down. If you complete at least 3 plates, the top plan on the first plate should be the site plan.
Elevation/Section Perspective Plates (1-3) - Four elevations from one of the components/space defined in stage 03 will be displayed as though they are "unfolded." Accompanying this will be a section perspective with people and a background of the chosen space. These drawings will be placed together on a board, and will act as a display for the individual spaces. All drawings should maintain appropriate and consistent lineweights. Prints will be made on high quality paper and should be spray-mounted on black gator board if the cost constraints permit. Plates should be designed with crop marks, and if possible, be of a size consistent with the other plates when trimmed down.
Evolution Matrix Plate (1) - This plate will act as a display showing the evolution of your project and its various components since the end of stage 02 and will act as a method for determining the breadth of progress/process during stage 03. It is required that you submit process for at least 2 of the spaces. Prints will be made on high quality paper and should be spray-mounted on black gator board if the cost constraints permit. All drawings should maintain appropriate and consistent lineweights. The plate should be designed with crop marks, and be of a size consistent with the other plates when trimmed down. The plate will include the following drawings (most of which should already be completed):

03.05 - 2 zone isometric with paths introduced
03.06 - initial plate insertion
