PX-Chapter 21: Analysis of Products & Details Flashcards
when do you review the materials and products for a project in the design process to make sure they still meet the basic design and needs of the client
final stages of design development
what is a MSDS or material safety data sheet
info about the physical makeup of a substance, how to store and handle it and what to do in case of a spill- usually for hazardous substances. typically used by workers and emergency ppl but helpful to know
what is detailing
figuring out how individual components fit together
what are the four categories of detail requirements
design intent constraints function constructability
what is the starting point to having to develop a detail
design intent- it needs to remain a part of the design and not get lost in the constructability aspect of the detail
what are some constraints when it comes to detailing
code requirements
substrates (concrete subfloor vs plywood subfloor etc)
Costs- must be proportionate to overall budget- you can save money by detailing things a certain way or it could cost more if it is labour intensive.
Industry standards- minimizes potential liability if something goes wrong
Material Availability
Climate
Labour and construction practices (standard)
what are some functions you need to consider when detailing
Concealment and finish
Human Fit
Safety (structural, fire, safety with human contact)
Security- need to coordinate with security- lighting, video camera positions, monitors, controls, speakers
when would you need to detail something for acoustics
paritions and room finishes
what is one of the hardest things to control in construction design and detailing
controlling moisture like showers etc
how can you take sustainability into account when detailing
using low VOC adhesices and finishes and allow for easy deconstruction so the individual components can be recycled
