For our next meeting I am going to be working on the following items:
- Building Form/Massing
- Circulation Arteries
- LEED Goals
- Code Analysis
Plumbing Fixture Calculations
Parking Space Calculations
We met on site and walked around to see views to/from whee my buildings were going to go. It was more for my Thesis Committee to see it since they have not yet been there. I however have been there several times over the course of the last 9 months. A cold front was coming through the city while we were up there so there were some really strong winds out of the north.
For our next meeting I am going to be working on the following items:

Committee Meeting prior to class starting so I have a clear direction of what I need to start on...
Reviewed Structural system and made the following changes: 1. Clear story windows a. At the top of structure will help allow to regulate interior pressures during tornado. keeping the building from exploding due to interior/exterior pressures being different b. Will also help allow natural day lighting into the space without worrying about hail breaking out large skylights. 2. All trusses need to be the same a. Entrances were most vulnerable in my designs due to me cutting my truss short and diverting its loads another direction. It put to much pressure on the single foot connecting it to the ground. b. The truss can extrude from the buildings interior and create a focal point and help locate the entrances c. the extruded truss could be a good spot to provide walking access to the roof since you would be be able to bike down such a narrow part. d. Making all trusses the exact same size would also help cut costs building the facility. Items for next meeting (scheduled for around Labor day at the site) 1. Review of Program (bubble diagrams) 2. Site plan with main entrances, buildings (option 1 and option 3), parking, climate analysis, sustainable strategies, views, etc... showing how each element will be connected and help the overall site mesh. Per my meeting on Tuesday (5-15-12) I was approved for everything prior to this point and able to proceed...
Marjorie- I was asked to visit the site over the summer and start sketching some ideas Ronald- I was asked to further go into detail with my facilities linkage to the downtown OKC area and surrounding facilities Kwang- I was asked to start looking at structural systems for my building keeping in mind the natural elements associated with the OKC area (wind, Tornado and Earthquakes) and make 3 study models of those systems to be able to begin discussing them. All of which we will begin to discuss the begining of the Fall 2012 semester... |
