Manual Task 01

This document outlines the assessment requirements for a portfolio submission assessing students' knowledge of building technology. The portfolio requires students to produce a technical manual with sections on mandatory lecture exercises and self-directed analytical observations of objects, nature, and buildings. The manual must include a minimum of 8 examples and will be submitted and reviewed in interim and final versions. It will be assessed based on intellectual curiosity, three-dimensional drawing skills, architectural application, and presentation techniques. The document provides examples of chair designs for the first mandatory exercise analyzing external loads, load path, internal forces, materials, and connection design.

Appendix 1 Assessment 02 Portfolio Learning Outcome The specific learning outcomes to be assessed in the Portfolio are: 1. Evidence an ability to apply and integrate technology into architectural design projects that satisfy both aesthetic and technical requirements and user requirements. 2. Evidence a knowledge and understanding of alternative structural, constructional, material systems and environmental strategies and demonstrate an understanding of their interrelationships relevant to sustainable architectural design. 4. Understand the impact of buildings on the environment and apply principles of sustainable design associated with designing optimum visual, thermal and acoustic environments.

Introduction The Portfolio submission will seek to assess your knowledge, understanding and where appropriate your application of the aforementioned learning outcomes through three focussed projects (02a, 02b and 02c). Assessment To pass this module a student must achieve an aggregate mark of 40% and should achieve a minimum of 40% in each component of assessment. The In Class Test constitutes 50% of the overall assessment of the module. 02a: The Manual (specific learning outcome 2) Key Themes A manual is a technical communication document written by technical people to instruct lay people how something operates or is assembled. Simplistic examples include an operating manual for a blender, or assembly instructions for flat pack furniture. The process of writing a manual requires one to acquire a detailed understanding of how something is made, often gained through detailed exploratory three dimensional drawings. Task Produce a manual consisting of three dimensional drawings/sketches/computer renderings to include the following sections: (i) Mandatory exercises distributed at the end of specific lectures (these will cover a range of different topics to assist in the deeper learning of the subject matter) A total of 8 mandatory exercises will be issued throughout the year. (ii) Self Directed Analytical Observations to include a. Objects b. Nature c. Buildings You are encouraged to explore a diverse range of subjects for your explorations and investigate and speculate upon potential architectural opportunities. A minimum of 8 self directed examples is required. Interim Submission 13th December 2012 at 3:00pm Submit a bound copy of your technical manual (no larger than A4). Written Feedback 10th January 2012 Final Submission 8th May 2012 at 3:00pm Submit a bound copy of your manual (no larger than A4). Written Feedback Within 15 working days. Marking Criteria 25% 25% 25% 25% 100% Intellectual Curiosity - Depth of Investigation Clarity of Three Dimensional Understanding Communicated through Drawing Architectural Application of Self Directed Observations Presentation Techniques - Range of Drawing Techniques + Media Total

Task 1/8 The Chair Task 1: Choose one of the following chair designs (drawings and photographs attached): (i) Tipolina Joseph Beverly Fenby, England, 1877 (ii) Easy Chair 140.00 Ole Gjerlov Knudson, Denmark, 1933 Produce three dimensional instructional drawings that communicate the following: 1 External Loads 2 Load Path 3 Internal Forces 4 Material Specification 5 Connection Design Guidelines Consider the chair in use. How are loads transmitted by the material to the structure? Is the structure form active or none form active, or semi form active? What are the internal forces generated in the elements? Tension or compression? Consider the structure as consisting of element and system - how are the elements working together to form a structural system?
