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.

Werner,
Thanks for the contact information of Kurt, I will have him review my scheme. Could you confirm if we need to develop structural plans for all the levels or just one typical, or just the most difficult one? :-)
Eddie et all,
one plan is sufficient.
