ENB4002-B - CAE - Civil - Project Expectation Sheet

Semester 2 - Revit (40%)

Introduction

Individually you are to produce a fully integrated 2D/3D models and associated documentation for

the given Design and Access Statement using Revit. This piece of coursework is a vehicle for gaining

understanding of the essence of understanding and awareness of the architectural drawing and

relationship to spatial elements. This coursework asks you to prepare a series of annotated

architectural drawings using Revit. The model can be your own house or a small building.

The 3D drawings submitted must be rendered using Revit and you should try to endeavour to portray

material, texture and shadowing qualities. The inclusion of the wider context occupied the

architecture, such as trees, bushes, landscape features, etc. must also be carefully considered. All

drawings and figures need to ‘appear' as a comprehensive set and need to be appropriately titled.

Drawings in 2D/3D must be thoughtfully composed, students will be acquired to deliver a

presentation in weeks 10-11. During the verbal presentation students will have the opportunity to

discuss their design and show command of their Revit model.

Individual PowerPoint presentation with (~20 slides) will need to be uploaded onto Canvas with

appropriate 2D/3D figures of the model house/building.

e.g.: Name_18001223

(obviously replace with your name and UoB number).

Project Aims

The aims of the Comprehensive Revit Design Project are:

To understand the relationship between the model and its immediate site.

To design a model that meets the general and self-imposed functional requirements and

responds creatively to the identified user's needs.

●

When submitting your work please upload the PowerPoint file onto canvas, name the file in

the following format: Your name and uob number)

●

●

To explore the appropriate use of materials.

To develop design skills (spatial, formal & material integration)

To integrate the knowledge achieved in the other modules.

To integrate a specific typology into the design process.

To apply all previously acquired design & expressive skills.

To further develop presentation and graphic abilities. Project Objectives

The general objectives of The Comprehensive Revit Design Project are:

To develop a unique narrative for your chosen client & site

To research and respond creatively to a given site, understanding it as a Real context

To develop a design concept in response to the project brief and site, and to design a building

to follow this proposed concept.

To design an ergonomic and functional space, identifying & synthesizing user's demands

To design an exciti space that responds well to the brief.

To communicate effectively the design intentions / ideas through models, graphics and verbal

presentations.

To design a pertinent building envelope with a sound structural system.

●

●

●

●

●

Every project must adhere to the following requirements:

●

●

You will have to produce a 2D/3D model of a house/building.

You should also consider any external covered spaces and all the necessary landscaping that

will integrate your proposal to the existing conditions of the site (paths, vehicular access,

parking, gardening, etc.).

Each design must integrate the understanding of the dwelling.

The ergonomic implications must be fully analysed and this understanding used to inform

your design.

Please bear in mind the FOLLOWING!

Clearly illustrate both initial ideas and the design as it develops, together with the precedents

that have inspired your design.

How well your model is designed in response to the light throughout the day.

The submission of a complete set of work which clearly and effectively communicates your

project.

Accurate and correctly drawn drawings of your final project.

PowerPoint presentation slide layout are well thought through and easy to understand.

Your verbal presentation of your work and ideas.

Marking Criteria/Scheme

Focused analytical assessment of the understanding of the architectural aims through sectional and

plans employed. Drawings must be annotated to give a personnel understanding and view point.

However the section and components MUST clearly indicate the spatial formations of space planning

by enclosure/ structure. The layout and presentation of your work must be considered and marks

will be deducted if your work is unclear. Marks will be awarded for the following:

An individual report in PowerPoint that:

Demonstrates an interpretation of the majority of the issues and presents them in an understandable

format.

Basic understanding/ awareness of the spatial understanding. Appreciates the features of the building

● Includes a selection of suitable recommendations for the client's organisation together with

justifications for the recommendations made. ● Includes some references.

39% or below

An individual report in MS Word that:

Interprets the majority of the issues incorrectly with little appreciation of the features of the remit and

Does not use references or demonstrates totally inadequate background research.

Feedback arrangements:

You can expect to receive feedback during the timetabled sessions. Formative feedback will be provided by

discussing on your ongoing progress. Summative feedback will be provided following the final report

submission.
