Building as Anatomy

This studio is the capstone of your undergraduate education and is an opportunity for you to integrate the various technical aspects of your professional degree to date. The studio project will be based on the integration of the core aspects of building as a constructed assembly that applies codes, required standards and methods of measure for building performance. The following items will be drawn as an integrated assembly and isolated as parts that contribute to the whole.

● Structure - framing and material
● Foundation - type, depth, seismic rating
● Fenestration/ window types and effectiveness (individual, curtain wall, fixed, operating)
● Envelope/ Sun Control/ Daylighting/ Thermal Performance - components as assembly
● Heating, Ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC)
● Utilities - water, electricity, services
● Access/ Egress - doors, stairways, ramps, elevators, loading docks
● Emergency - fire suppression, sprinklers, fire dampers, fire-rated assemblies & fire isolation
