FINAL SKILL REVIEW Dec 2, 2009

This will be a final, real time exercise on the skills you have learned. Each student will be provided with the same partially completed small home design. Your job will be to enhance and complete the job as best you can, drawing from your skills in ArchiCAD. This is not a race to the finish in three hours but rather a chance to examine your talents by using the right tools for the job. You will be judged by how effectively you use your skills.

STUDENT PROJECTS Dec 9, 2009

Starting at 4 PM, this final event will be at my home in the Ten Stones Community in Charlotte. If you come on time, I will give you a tour of our home and home offices. See map on the last page of this PDF file. At 4:30 PM, we will settle in to our home theater for your individual presentations using animations, walk thru’s, plans and renderings. Each student will have an allotted time to present their project to the class on a MacBook Pro and LCD projector. Email or bring your projects on CD or memory sticks. Pretend that the audience are just plain folks - you need to educate us about your design. Use your ArchiCAD pallette of skills to sell us and blow our collective minds! At the end of class, I will being cooking fresh pizza and have beverages available.

ArchiCAD Assignment 3: the Student project

Creating A Not So Big Shelter for Two You have been asked by a dream client to design an ecological home for two on a site of your choosing. You may use any real location, or one that is conjured up from your imagination. This exercise will draw on your creative juices and use the skills that you are learning in our class. I will be dispensing encouragement, design comments and guiding your efforts for the next several months. While money is no object in this exercise, respect for our resources and environment surely can be. I will be looking for your command of the tools and techniques found in Assignments 1 thru 12. If you should have a site for this somewhere, bring in any information on the contours (topography) and we will convert it to a 3D object. Expect to spend plenty of time refining your design, creating custom objects and textures, perspectives, animations and presentation plans. You are encouraged to go beyond the basics. ArchiCAD has many nifty features that are not covered in our assignments, but which might be useful for special features in your project. Please review the Student Project Requirements on the following pages. Note whether you are in CDAE 101 or 295. You will have an alloted amount of time to present your idea via my laptop and our home theater screen during the final class for student projects at my home. Let imagination rule!

Student Project Requirements for CDAE 101 OK! So you know quite a bit about this software

by now, right? Here are the minimum elements that should appear in your student project: 1. Construction elements - at least one of each: walls, windows, doors, roofs (trimmed to fit), slabs or floors, stairs, columns, beams, and meshes (probably your site - ponds and roads count extra). 2. Objects - use 10 or more objects from the supplied library. At least one must be your own, beautiful creation. 3. Original material - this can be a color and texture of your creation. 4. Organization - use Layers, Layer Combinations and Stories. 5. Dimensions - on one storey, show locations of windows in walls, and distances between walls. 6. Zones - at least one zone in one or more rooms to show area size. 7. Animations - at least one Fly-thru, Virtual Object or Sun Study, saved in the MOV format. 8. Presentation - At least one Photo Rendering of best quality (interior and/or exterior), showing sun shadows, textures, and reflections, saved in the JPG format.

9. Drawings - at least one elevation, section, floor plan and perspective drawing put onto at least one sheet and published as a PDF file. What to Submit: Your final project files should be saved into a folder with your name on it. Inside should be an archive file of your project in the ArchiCAD .pla format (saved project w/library parts), Quicktime Movies in the .mov format, Photo renderings in the .jpg format and published drawings in the .pdf format. Put this file onto a CD, DVD or portable USB device. Bring your project to the final class at my home, either on your laptop, on a DVD/CD or a USB storage chip. Make sure that you have all libraries, materials, objects and other files ready to go. Do a dress rehearsal before coming to make sure that you are confident about what you are presenting. Plan to leave your complete presentation at my home when you are finished. This can be left on my laptop if you wish. You will each have up to 10 minutes to educate us plain folks in the audience. Your presentation skills and showmanship are encouraged!

Montgomery’s at 477 Ten Stones Circle, Charlotte, Vermont

Phone: 802-425-7717

How to find us: Follow Route 7 south thru Shelburne Village to the first light just past the Shelburne Museum... this is Bostwick Road where you make a right turn and take the road west ... it will become “Greenbush Road” as you cross the Charlotte Town Line (“Orchard Road” intersects on the right at this point) ... stay on Greenbush for another quarter mile and look for “Ten Stones Circle” also on the right...You will have driven about 2 miles since turning at the light on Route 7... turn in, drive 300’ past the mailboxes and take the left fork ... look for the sixth house on the right, with a “477” marker next to the driveway. Or, heading north on Route 7, take a left turn on F5 into Charlotte village... turn right onto Greenbush, drive 2.5 miles to the sign “Ten Stones Circle” and repeat the above..
