Stage 04.01 continued

As stated in class, we will continue the preliminary plans for 2 levels. Pick the 2 levels which are most representative of your project. These plans do not have to be in sequence to one another (though this may help you get started).

Once you have cut the plans, make refinements as necessary, and export them to either Illustrator or InDesign. Cuts through opaque solid areas/forms which are part of your adjusted zones should be displayed using black fill set to 25% opacity. Cuts through opaque solid areas/forms which are part of unadjusted zones should be displayed using black fill set to 50% opacity. Open Space should be left white. Fill layers should be set below any line work which occurs.

Exterior walls should be 12" thick, and interior walls should be 6" thick. If you have other thicknesses for walls which are developed out of plan conditions evident in the model, use those. You should be showing overhead lines in these plans, but doors and stairs do not need to be placed.

Place the level number as shown in the previous example. The level number should be 1/4" from the bottom and left edges in Arial Bold at 50 pt font, with 1 pt black stroke and no fill.

Print 11x17's of your plans and have them ready for discussion at the beginning of class.

Files should be submitted to your archlab folder as horizontally oriented jpegs measuring 3200x2000 pixels, by 8:30 AM next class, and named as follows:
