last one Flashcards
project in Mohave Desert. 3 ways climate would affect design of this project
temperature- insulation in ceilings/roof/overhangs/ recessed window openings, hvac equip
- rain/flash floods- site/ roof drainage
- winds. glazing needs to withstand high winds, roof uplight, passive ventilation
big bear step slope. 3 impacts
- foundatin
- accessibility
- site drainage
church on shallow hill side
library on flat site. coastal climate impact:
northern ca project. 3 climate issue impact design
library, flat side, mojave desert, 5,500 feet above sea level….2 climatic issue
wind impact on project at base of Sierra Nevada Mountain.
church/hill
- drainage, foundation, grading
- accessibility- vehicular acc, utilities
library coastal flat
- windows for passive ventations
- humidity control
- rain..overhangs, rain screen etc.
northern ca project. 3 climate issue impact design
- humidity
- windows for natural venting (
- rain
library, mojave, 5,000
- extreme temp changes hot to cold
- wind (passive vent, uplift at overhangs, strong glazing)
Sierra Nevada Mountain
- uplight
- glass,
- structural framework
- anchor site elements
three health related issue
- VOC offgassing
- smoking
- mold
client wants site evaluation. name at least 4 criteria you would use in the site evaluation
- topo, look for were water will drain/pool
- ideal solar orientation
- circulation/parking/movement in/out
- utilities
- soils report
- vegetation
- zoning review
2 ways to project from wild fire
- defensible space
2. exterior wildfire exposure protection (materials…diff from defensible space)
What may an architect design?
- soils test:
- special inspections:
- structural drawings and calculations:
- grading plans:
- can AHJ require civil only to stamp grading plan:
- culverts, retaining walls etc for project not also doing site work on and not considered a “phase of architecture”
- landscape drawings:
- MEP drawings:
- bridges (including structural parts):
- surveys:
- certify the construction is in conformance:
- structural inspection after disaster?
- When a licensed architect working on a project quits
or is discharged, may another architect sign the original licensee’s plans or instruments? - can unlicensed person design a 2 plex on a lot that already has 3 houses?
- can an unlicensed person prepare grading and drainage plans for an exempt building?
- are interior designers licenced by the state?
17 can landscape arch do site grading and drainage?
what can they design
- which sheets need to be stamped:
- can AHJ demand arch stamp other consultant drawings:
- can unlicensed do MEP desing?
What may an architect design?
- soils test: no
- special inspections: no
- structural drawings and calculations: yes (except for hospitals)
- grading plans: yes
- can AHJ require civil only to stamp grading plan: no
- culverts, retaining walls etc for project not also doing site work on and not considered a “phase of architecture”…no… it has to be a phase of arch
- landscape drawings: yes
- MEP drawings: yes
- bridges (including structural parts): yes
- surveys: no
- certify the construction is in conformance: Yes, but you dont have to
- structural inspection after disaster: yes
- When a licensed architect working on a project quits or is discharged, may another architect sign the original licensee’s plans or instruments?
Provided both architects are licensed in California, and the supplanting architect completely reviews the plans of the original architect, making necessary, or client-directed changes, the supplanting architect has “prepared” the plans for purposes of BPC section 5582.1 and may stamp and sign them, absent fraud, deception, or dishonesty. (Ref.: CCR, title 16, § 151) - can unlicensed person design a 2 plex on a lot that already has 3 houses?…no… funny one, even though the designer is only doing a duplex (which is allowed) he cant do it on that site
- can an unlicensed person prepare grading and drainage plans for an exempt building? no
- are interior designers licenced by the state? no…they can ot call themselves architects and can only stamp exempt projects but CAN NOT USE THE WORDS “STATE OF CALIFORNIA”..design interior stuff and storefronts
- can landscape arch do site grading and drainage? yes what can they design: exempt structures
- which sheets need to be stamped: APA does not say…most AHJ will say all sheets
- can AHJ demand arch stamp other consultant drawings: no
- can unlicensed do MEP desing? no
common items in an EIR
- air pollution (filter/monitor)
- noise pollution ( isolate of shield)
- increase traffic (traffic control devices)
- storm water run off (catch basins etc)
2 story police station on site with high water table. how would high water table affect the design
deeper foundation (piles) or maybe a mat slab. elevate things that need to stay in operation
3 responsibilities of the Air Resources Board
- reduce smog/pollution
- set air quality goals
- make plans and strategies
- measure progress
downspout disconnection
Impervious Surface Reduction & Disconnection
Downspout disconnection is the process of separating roof downspouts from the sewer system and redirecting roof runoff onto pervious surfaces, most commonly a lawn. This reduces the amount of directly connected impervious area in a drainage area.

types of exemptions and who decides:
NOE (voluntary filing) : OPR or Country Clerk
NOI (neg dec): OPR if state
NOP (draft EIR): OPR always
NOC (draft EIR): OPR always
NOD (final EIR or Neg DEC): OPR [or] Country Clerk
types of exemptions and who decides:
categorical: Dpt of Natural resources decided a category of project does not have an impact on the environment
statutory exemption: decided by state statutes…can have impact on environment but state things project types is more important.

The Zones which identify where the stability of foundation soils that must be investigated and countermeasures undertaken in the design and construction of buildings for human occupancy are
Liquefaction Zones
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones
Landslide Zones
Fire Severity Zones

Feedback:
Liquefaction Zones are zones which identify where the stability of foundation soils that must be investigated and countermeasures undertaken in the design and construction of buildings for human occupancy.
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones are zones which prevents buildings for human occupancy from being constructed upon active faults.
Landslide Zones are zones which identify where the stability of hilltops must be evaluated and countermeasures undertaken in the design and construction of buildings for human occupancy.
