Stage 04.02 continued

Pick the 2 sections within your project which show the most variety within your compositions/constructs. These sections do not have to be in sequence to one another (though this may help you get started).

Once you have cut the sections, 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. Doors and stairs do not need to be placed.

Place the section number as shown in the previous example. The section 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 sections 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:
