Troubled...

Hi Ian, i would like to clarify something regarding the drawings submission on 30 Oct 06 (Monday)
We are supposed to draw:

1 floor plan (1:100 or 1:150)
1 roof plan (size is up to us, as long as it can be fitted into the same sheet of paper with the floor plan)
4 elevations and 2 sections (follow the scale of the floor plan)
1 construction drawing (1:20)
1 detail drawing (1:10 or 1:20)

besides, these 10 drawings... are we supposed to arrange them according to the way we wanted to present them on the D-Day (exp. leave spaces for the photos, squeeze in some elevations and roof plan together with the floor plan) OR hand them in as just plain drawings (exp. floor plan 1 sheet, elevations 1 sheet, etc...)

P.S. 10Q so much Ian for guiding us step by step to this very final stage, till the completion of our master piece... really greatful to have you by our side... and once again, we Thank You, Xie Xie Ni, Dor Cheh Lei, Terima Kasih...*UR THE MAN c(^^;)b

Ian, this is the plan that i had edited... sorry to post at this hour... was busy with other assignments.... hopefully, i can start on my model and the drawings d... still got 1 hours for me to prepare to go back JB... tiring day... anyway, thanks for ur guiding for this semester. hope to see u around on next semester.

for ian

Ian, on behalf of the class, i'd like to thank you for all you have done, for guiding us through this and for sharing your experiences and knowledge. i can only imagine all the shit you've been putting up with us, showing you our 'great' designs, (as speaking from experience :p). but thanks for being so patient and for being such a great tutor :) I'm sure we all had a great sem having you.

And next time you're on a tv programme, do tell us so we know when to expect ian in action again. haha!

xiaoYing's Revolution

hi, ian. here is my plan after revolution.hope that u can give me some advice so tat i can get my PEACE as soon as possible.

i use a lot of big windows, but no window is facing another building. it face the trees and the small garden. two classroom share one toilet i think is enought for them.below i got some amendment of my plan bcos i think that i should make the whole building in one, so i choose to make the whole related building bcome one organic form.



















this is the draft plan i had made some small changes.do you think that this is better? wat else i can do or do i hav to stick to the first plan i made? well, looking forward your crit on it.

Model submission

Msg from Ms Kwok: All students to take note and follow accordingly.

On 3rd November all students must submit (i.e. show to the receiving tutor) their presentation model with AT LEAST the building (floor, wall, roof) done. They should then take the model back home to complete the details, landscape, touching up, etc.

They are to bring the FULLY FINISHED MODEL along with their presntation drawings on 22 Nov to pin up and display.

Msg from Ian to Ian's group: Guys do a good model! I know most of you are drawing presentation drawings for a medium sized building for the first time in your whole short life, so it may be a try-out, in the best sense. Your model, though, will in one Zzzap! tell your whole story like no drawing can!

Use as few different materials as possible--go for space and volume and form and DON'T try to make a miniature doll house with "real" things. (Kenneth, clear perspex is better than green perspex.) Soft, "greyed down" colours are better than bright primary colours. Remember the colour of the site base, and blend in.

I'm still here till 28th Oct; and maybe, just maybe, I can go to a cybercafe in Beijing after that. Unless it's so cold my fingers freeze up!

ALL of you have plans that work--so go for it!

Shiao Yin, your revolution looked ok. Just use your roof to group together some of your blocks, join them with links and you should pull through. Not too many different roofs, just a few, all speaking the same language. And don't forget nice covered walkways and terraces.

Jufri, simple forms please! Don't make your life too complicated. (The fewer different types of forms the better. One form is sometimes the best, though not always.)

Gerald, you have to make the best model in your life! And finish all the drawings, too.

Others whose names I didn't mention should be chugging happily along.

reedit roof plan and floor plan

i had adjusted the length of the classrooms, and about te roof part, i was thinking of using concrete as the material... and about the play structure, half of it will be in the transitional area and another part will just expose to the outside...

studio2006

This is Jufri,i post my new plans of the floor..For theroof plans i saperate in two borders the adult world and the children world.As you can see there is two part which is the free area and the more not free area.So the class rooms have skylight in every class room just to give lights into it..

ill explain more in detail on monday.So thats about it if any comments plaz let me noe ill change it by monday.Thanks ian

My plan

Sorry Ian that day i didnt bring my model and drawings for studio. I've modified a little bit of it.

This is my floor plan.
I changed the idea of exploded square to exploded rectangle to suit the shape of the site and space is easier to be arranged. There will be a community space at the centre surrounded by building blocks. N can see that spaces between the building blocks are narrow at the central but after that become wider.This is to show the exploded effect of space. Besides, there is no obvious symmetrical line because every piece of explosion is different. The order is slightly shown by the path walking from the entrance straight to the field as building blocks is balance located at the right n left side.


This is my roof plan. I think i should draw out the flat roof of each block. But not to confuse it, only draw the upper layer of the roof. It looks funny that two big dots are actually trees. And the three circles are voids to allow sunshine to penetrate and rainwater to shower the central. It will create a natural environment in the building with this flat roof. It unite the building as well.
Before that, I was thinking to use another type of roof..which is not flat roof like now. It was slanted roof from outside to inside..to lead the rainwater flows toward the direction where glass walls are used. This will create a layer of curtain when raining. But, with this design, i failed to add an open space pergola or corridor among the building blocks. Unless it's built separately. Yet, not unite.

What do u think about that?

edited roof plan and floor plan

Ian, these are the plans that i had edited, can u gimme some comment on these plan? so that i can start my drawings as soon as possible. thank you.
 

repost

Ian, this is my edited roof and plans..



























Picture above is my floor plan. Some changes on the form of mph and those rooms around staff room.
I added some platforms outside every classrooms for the transitional space outdoor-indoor. This also apply at the walkway outside the staffroom and the main core ramp of this building which is also natural ventilated.
On the other hand, i created 2 ramps and couple of stairs after the platform which is outside the classrooms to allow kids and teacher to go down to the field for some activity. I also make the focus point for the ramp bigger to plant some grass.. but there is minimum rain coming in from there because i cover it v transparent roof. but the natural air can still come in.




























This is my roof plan. The changes are added the 'fan' at the starting point of the ramp and those 'pergolas' (not like traditional pergolas) added with some shading device outside the classrooms. Also the shading device is whole stretch from starting point of the ramp untill the end, but is divided into 3 parts - different level.

studio2006

This is Jufri.I have design two plans.The first one is the same as the old plans i just bring the parking to the side of the building.So i bring the play structure to the front near to the admin office to gives the teachers the better view and keep an eye on the children while playing.
The concept is still the same as the old one wan so i hope it refresh your mind.The entrance to the buiding is just one and same goes to the exit as well.

The second plan is different i destroy the mph atthe back similar to the old plans and the new wan i bring the mph near to the principle office and admin office.The parking i bring it to the front so its much easier.so i guess about it ill explain a little bit more on wednesday.So i guess about it.ill bring the roofplan tmrw.itany changeplz commentand i try to change it by tmrw. thanks ian.

Final plan outline

Ian,
this is what i have after some changes that u comment on blog last weekend.



























The drawing above is my roof plan. I change the curvy shape wall-roof tingy into a single curve but straight lines.. u can see in my drawing I pointed out in there. the curvy wall glazing, maybe call curtain wall is whole stretch from the starting point of the ramp. And i think the curve shape i have pointed out there provides a more spacious experience as they walk through the ramp with a water falling steps beside them.


























Here is my final plan, which i think i can start produce my final drawing :)
the building become a bit shorter because i push it a bit to the west to fit in more car parks. There is also a place for disabled ppl to park their car. Another change is the mph and the wall glazing beside the ramp that going up. Both of them have more strict geometry lines than organic to contrast with the abstract imaginative classes and dining hall.


I think i can use this scheme to proceed with my models and drawings.
Ian give comment if there's need a change.
thanks..

resend my floor plan

here is my floor plan....my building has a huge transitional place...its a long walkway (from admin office to mph) which also happend to be the place for kids to hang around and rest..and they'll get a great view of playstructure which happens to be the main focus point of the entire place as well!!
the mhp is in trapezoid form as it is the good form of reflecting and focusing the sound.
btw, i've changed the entrannces to one entrance as it'll takes up much spaces if i were to put two entrances and it'll be more dangerous for the kids as well
also, i have place to stop and rest for the kids, its in the gathering point of all the class rooms...
i have had trees...loads of them...i didnt put them in coz i thought that u just wan to see the rough plan...btw i love nature and love trees..(ian..i dont think i can finish my model this coming monday coz i have a lot more other assignments to finished)

Floor Plan 'n' Roof Plan

sorry.. forgot to repost.. heres the plan.. plz comment.. thank you.
well, the roof will follow the concept of the main building, which is the combination of order and total havoc. the criss-cross line creates some sort of walking under the massive trees. where the shadow lays on the floor bed, just like taking a walk in the jungle.. it also reflects the freedom of nature's design, and the freedom to learn and play, which turn out to be very interesting. roofs are place with diff heights to further capture attention and constant reminder of the concept.

well, where as the plan.. i make some changes of the positioning of the classrooms and layout to solve the *not brave enough* and noise prob.

studio2006

Here r my plans..i hav changed the entrance location (to bottom right) as a respond to the parking area.

min kang's

my design. with 3 main axis. the roof n carparks still in the process. with the courtyard or maybr the tree 2 be the center of the whole building.still maintaining the 1.5m platform with little slight changes.

audy's floor and roof plans

Hey yo, this is audy, using alex’s account, so underneath are my floor and roof plans

on floor plan, it's fairly staright forward, spaces are tagged, the red lines indicate the paths, the play area is in blue while the slope is in green lines, and i've relocated my messy area next to the play area just beside the ICT lab, top right corner, we have the teacher's small sitting lounge, next to the kitchen and a small dinning area on the adjoining room. and...well thats about it, really.




roof plan: on my classrooms, i connected two classes under one roof, so we r having 3 roofs instead of 6 of small ones.


 

P.s: btw IAN, would you mind sending me another invitation email, I been trying to log in with my account for ages, but there seemed to be an error, and your old invitation email, had already gone. Thanks very much! My email : toobadv@hotmail.com

Plans

Roof plan... the roof of the higer level actually overlapping the lower 1 (just abit)to create a transitional space (wat i've learned last week) for the court yard/messy area!! correct me if im worng Mr.Ian.

i'd simplified my scheme.. no more pavilion!!! hopefully it works this time!! the court yard/messy area is a transitional space

.

plans plans plans.

my plan....the messy area is at the open area beside the play structure.
to show how is my building in the six meter boundary with my carpark.
my roof plans. Is layers overlapping each other.

Floor Plans

SORRY people! Ok i just looked thru the blog and i just realised i dont have a roof plan too :(
I will however, put it up as soon as I can. So for now, its the ground floor and the 1st floor.
Might not be very clear, as I used pencil instead :( My bad, Ian!
My nose is killing me.






Edited:

Okay. got the roof plan done. And Ian? I've come up with a more 'UNITED' look. will probably show you something about it on monday during crit yea?

 

floor plan and roof plan

Plans outline

This is my roof plan outline.. Probably can't see clearly, the roof concept is abt layering and folding up and down. I just finish producing few minutes ago.. The long stripes above the roofs are stripe openings - skylight. and some are shading devices.

This is my floor plan after a few changes.. the strip between play structure there is actually blanko.. pls ignore it.. whereas those lines like countour are staircases to go down to lower level.

FloOr PLan n RoOf PLan

Floor Plan:
The yellow line is the 6m setback
and the blue line is the land that being elevated 0.5m.
Roof Plan:
The skeletal roof top at the entrance indicates welcome to invite the children into the kindergarten.

plan

this is the layout for the floor plan.. the roof plan im still working on it.. (posting tonight hopefully) not feeling too well after returning from vacation.. my apologies to everyone... =(

i made some changes on the plan.. to ensure better environment for the kids and solve the noise problem. also further enchance the messiness in design of the building..

Progress

My observation at the end of today's crits is that

1. About half of you already have plan-ideas that work quite well.
2. Among them, a few have plan-ideas which are actually quite exciting! And I am really looking forward to seeing how these plans actually work out.
3. The other half are mostly those who have either only just got the right idea for the plan or have not seen me for some time (did not see me today.)

Note that I said "plan ideas." You must now soldier on to make them into brilliant PLANS where

• there are walls with thicknesses, columns, and openings in walls
• there are floor lines that show a change in floor material or a change in level
• there are dotted lines showing the outline of your roof above
• the 15 carparking bays and vehicular circulation are efficiently laid out without taking more space than is necessary
• rooms and spaces are laid out with an understanding of axis and articulation of space
• there are nice transitional spaces here and there to connect the inside and the outside
• some landscaping lines showing where's grass, where are bushes, where are trees, and where are hard surfaces

NOW THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE MUST DO: Draw your OUTLINE floor plans and roof plans at 1:100 and post on blog by either Friday 6 Oct 2000hr or Saturday 7 Oct at 1200hr.

Those who are making the site model post on Saturday, those who are not post on Friday.

I will give helpful comments on blog for all postings so that you can carry on intelligently on the right track for Monday's Interim Crit No.3. YES, Interim Crit No.3 as originally scheduled is on! Pin up whatever you've got by 1330 on Monday 9 Oct.

As I have pointed out, we are all behind and must catch up. There are so many potentially good schemes among you that we must make the effort to bring them out at the end to make all the hard work worth the while.

Your outline plans can be in either AUTOCAD or manually drawn---whichever you can do faster, and they must be to scale. Don't forget to show the building setback line in dotted. And remember the building setback applies only to building-rooms, not to carparks, playstructures and verandahs. (Obviously you can post more than plans if you want to, but that's optional.)

Just to reasssure you, I am still giving tutorials every Mon and Wed until Submission Day. But what I have asked you to do in this post is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL for your own good.

1:100 site model

suggested that the 1:100 model to be done asap.(best finish this week, by this weekend)
i suggest those that havnt play a part in doing the model, please spend some of your precious time. maybe we can meet 2moro,5th Oct,Thursday 12:00pm sharp n discuss n devide the remaining works,thats building the house n the church model. thank you for all your coorperation.

Wednesday's Crits--Important Notice

This is a very crucial time in your design process.

As you are all behind schedule (generally speaking) I am pulling up another 2 -3 hours from next week's tutorial time for tomorrow so that all have a chance to see me before the "long" break till next Monday.

Kenneth, Wei Chii, Audy and Sisi should book their slots now. I'll start at 1240hr and continue after 1500 to do the last three.

All must be present at 1600hr tomorrow for another hour of "summing up" advice on synthesis of your design process. After that it should be PRODUCTION TIME!
