Check them out on the FTP site (sorry you out there without access...). They look fantastic! Congratulations.
Please be so kind and download the production to your blog as well (for all those without access to the FTP site).
And do me one more favor:
Please make a list of all tools utilized (hand-sketch, cardboard model, CAD tools, et cetera) and send to whofmann@addinc.com
I use that info for research. Thanks.

TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
Please try to keep the .pdf file to under 40MB. If your first pdf print is much larger, try the following:
REDUCE FILE SIZE : Acrobat 4.0 file. It usually reduces the file size by 30%.
If you produced your final sheets in Photoshop reduce your image size to 11 x 17, the resolution to 120.

Week 8 - last week before final submission
Following the schedule announced at the end of the fourth week the following elements should be developed: FINAL Plans, FINAL Elevations, FINAL Renderings, FINAL Building Services, FINAL Program and Corrections to your Parti .
As indicated at the intensive, I wasn't planning on a formal final review. However, Eric and I are discussing a conference call sometime after we had time to digest the large amount of work you will be submitting by February 26. The idea for this date is to give you a full weekend to finish the work and plenty of time to post it.
To be able to have the material at our fingertips at the conference call, you should format your final presentation in a PDF or a PPT file. Limit yourself to no more than 20 pages.
I will organize a FTP site for everyone to down and upload each others files to allow for a streamlined call.
The deliverables for the final are available under COURSE DOCUMENTS.

Week 6 - Structure, Code Analysis, Detail, Building Services
The FINAL Structure will require a narrative explaining the choice of structural system, the main components (foundation, walls, columns, floor slabs, roofs and bracing). Make sure the elements can be explained in a section and one floor plan showing a typical bay. Please run the development by Kurt Benedict (benedictk@gwi.net) for comments. Format on a Product Sheet.
The FINAL Code Analysis will include a listing of use groups, building area, building height in stories and feet, proposed construction type, allowed height and area, floor loading, means of egress (number and widths, stairs and doors), separation between uses, travel distances, dead end, high rise requirements (if applicable) and rules for accessible route. Format on a Product Sheet.
The Detail development at this point should include blocking at least three typical details: one at the foundation and base, a typical wall detail showing an opening and a roof edge/parapet detail. At least one detail should show a detail reaction to a proposed environmental solution.
The Building Services development needs to take your environmental impact goals a step further and assign building systems to the various goals. Develop also ideas how to insulate, heat, cool and light your project. Most of you are proposing to collect water. Collection, storage, treatment re-use and/or discharge need to be described in more detail at this point.
Post (concise) narratives, sketches and images on your blog before the end of the week.

Week 6 - Elevation and Perspective Rendering Material
Below are images you might use for your final perspectives and the final Boylston Street elevation. Should you be deperate for an additional street level view, let me know. I might take a trip down to the site and shoot another image.
