You will bring this for review in class on 18/11/2016 . The final for one option needs to be submitted on 22/12/2016.

1. Detailed sections of your building defining in detail the building components of Foundations, Walls, Floors and Roofs. Bring these hand sketched drawings / CAD drawings in full detail. See example below, add thicknesses

2. Detailed Catalog of concepts for your all components of your building.

Define for the following : Foundations, Walls, Floors, Roofs, Plasters, Doors and Windows

Example below. Use the reference file from your schematic design.

3.0	Masonry works
3.1	Providing and constructing 9” thick sun dried adobe brick placed in 1:3 mud mortar, 3′ above plinth beam. Including providing and removing necessary scaffolding and staging, curing, soaking of bricks in water as per instructions, packing the residual space between masonry and other structural members like columns, beams, slabs etc., providing openings as directed and finishing neatly around the same, cost of all materials, cost of labour, cost of equipment and machinery, all lead and lift, loading and unloading, transportation and all other incidental charges etc., complete as directed.
	All Floors

3. Define the calculated volumes and the unit costs of each of these concepts, use information from the presentations and with help of your instructor.

4. Total Cost of Project assuming 8% cost for Plumbing and sanitation, 8% for Electrical and installations.

You are expected to bring to the class the following

1. Floor plans and sections
2. Draft Specifications of building components
3. Calculated quantities of building components

Schematic design requirements (4 marks) 

It starts with defining Project goals, key philosophies and principles that guide design.  Often this determines the program for the project.

The program, or architectural program, is the term used to define the required functions of the project. It should include estimated square meters of each usage type and any other elements that achieve the project goals.

During schematic design, an architect commonly develops study drawings, documents, or other media that illustrate the concepts of the design and include spatial relationships, scale, and form. Costs are estimated based on overall project volume. (Assume 3000-4000 Pesos a sq m of built area for a safe estimate)

Grading

You are expected to discuss your ideas clearly presented in written words or drawings. Grading is done partly on the quality of ideas (75%) and the presentation of design (25%)
