ASSIGNMENT: MIDTERM REVIEW REQUIREMENTS
For the midterm, you will produce a series of boards that include revisions to Assignment 1. Each board should be 24x36 landscape orientation. You will present these as “slides” during your review, and also upload them to Miro as boards so that the critics can zoom in, annotate, and comment. You will have a designated spot to organize your images on the digital whiteboard.
Board 1: Title Project title, your name(s), course title, date
Board 2: Thesis 1-2 sentences maximum stating your overall strategy and intentions. How are you approaching COVID as a problem, and what is your design doing (i.e., how is it performing)? Text should be at least 48pt font.
Board 3: Strategy diagrams A series of 3-5 abstract diagrams (plan and/or oblique) that clearly describe the scope of your interventions. These should be small-scale and show the primary urban moves. If you are thinking about your project in “layers,” show each layer individually and then together. Drawing titles should be at least 30pt font.
Board 4: Revised Oblique Your oblique site drawing should fill this board completely. If you have labels or callouts, they should appear at least 24pt font.
Boards 5-6: Design Details Sketches, plan and/or section details, zoomed-in obliques, collage perspectives, or any other drawings that give a sense of the design development. Drawing titles should be at least 30pt font and labels/callouts at least 24pt font.
Boards 7-8 (or more if needed): Design Guidelines A series of plan, section, elevation, and/or oblique views of different components of your project (required ones are listed below), with dimensional and graphic information about how each component achieves social distancing measures. Please refer to the Lewis Tsurumaki Lewis Manual from Week 1 and the case studies from Week 2 for examples of these drawings. They should be generic, meaning they should show typical conditions throughout the site. You may need multiple versions of these diagrams to show different design possibilities (for instance, if you have different sidewalk widths at different locations on the site, each condition should get its own diagram). In addition to the required conditions listed here, add any others that are unique to your project.
Lay these diagrams out so that you have no more than 4 per board, with drawing titles at least 30pt font and labels/callouts at least 24pt font.
Required conditions (these may be drawn individually or combined into larger diagrams): Street, Sidewalk, Bike Lane, Parkway (if maintained), Seating, Bus Stop, Building Entry/Exit.
Recommended fonts: Arial Bold (48pt or larger for title slide and thesis statement), Arial Bold (30pt for drawing titles), Arial Regular (24pt for callouts and labels)
