Schematic Design Flashcards
primary goal of SD
Establishing intent, spatially, materially, functionally, socially, financially, etc.
> feasible scheme, defined + refined
> a problem-solving exercise > multi-disciplinary
key components of SD
narrative PRINCIPLES (THESIS, MISSION);
conceptual diagramming;
performance METRICS (>eval design alternatives);
detailed program;
schematic studies (spatial org + 3D char);
illus dwgs - FORM + CHARACTERS (forms/spaces/material systems/key components > DIAGRAMMATIC, ILLUS, 3D);
test against requirements (reg., client, cost, other);
cost model dev. w/client;
documentation - highly descriptive
means of SD integration
arch + site relationships;
preserved habitat areas, site drainage relationship;
sust. stormwater mgmt;
site art
SD drawing notes
contextual framework (diff than proj framework of concept design) ;
char images + design precedents;
design alternatives, preferred plan;
study models
details, palette;
illustrative pieces > emotive;
any compliance issues
SD context framework components
land use relationships;
multimodal circulation;
rel. to offsite drainage;
open space systems - regional;
neighborhood conditions;
transit connections;
sight-line relationships;
landscape systems (vegetative, wetlands, etc that may extend offsite);
historic context, character influences, regional materials;
infrastructural context;
Ecol systems
metrics development for SD
intent that is explicitly measurable > e.g., environmental and economic performance (water conservation, assoc operational cost savings, groundwater recharge, reusable/recycle material)
how is SD framework different than Concept framework?
SD is contextual framework vs project framework
how is SD pricing different than Concept cost estimate?
SD pricing fosters an estimate of probable costs; in the book, they note a Concept-level estimate of probably costs, but the test questions do not support that
how is SD phasing different than construction phasing?
SD phasing might be necessitated by the project; however, typical construction phasing needs happen later (perhaps contractor-guided with owner??)
principles v goals
principles are commonly held values or beliefs to steer by
goals are stmts of intent, action-oriented and measurable
stormwater as amenity opportunities
education
recreation
safety
public relations
aesthetic richness
stormwater design practice approaches
reduce runoff
mitigate runoff by emulating ET + infiltration
convey runoff from larger events
protect or restore receiving water bodies
stormwater practices that reduce runoff
reduce semi-impervious surfaces by incr infiltration/ permeability
reduce impervious surface:
-reduce roof area by using multistory bldgs
-use green roofs
-reduce road lengths/width
-reduce parking area - stall size, aisle width, shared pkg
-use permeable pvmt
-reduce use of curbs/gutters
-red connected imperious surfaces, disconnect downspouts into veg
-reduce drainage directly to storm sewers, send runoff away using flow splitters and retention systems
-use existed open area to aborb water using veg
-reduce turf
-direct runoff to soils that infiltrate
-reduce clearing and grading
-reduce development on undeveloped areas
