refining the solution
professional grade drawings
can be simple and unpretentious or complex and flamboyant—depending upon situation
manner of completion determined by the nature of the project•simply drawn preliminary plan•quick-sketch•black and white drawings•formal, complex presentation•fully rendered, colored, exhibit quality boards
the language of space planning is the floor plan—its graphic qualities cannot be entirely ignored
transition from rough floor plan to preliminary to presentation quality is all part of the planning process—changes are made throughout
refining the rough plan
requires significant review and evaluation—many drafts or phases
developing the “final” preliminary plan is the concluding phase
“final” preliminary plan
experiment with techniques—hand drafting/computer-aided drafting or a combination of the two
by hand:•use reasonably high-quality trace for ease in erasing•work with a few types of pencil leads for line weights—door swing should read differently than a full height wall
“final” preliminary plan
by hand:•can be meticulously drafted or loose “freehand”•dimensional accuracy is a MUST—a stud & drywall partition (4”) should not be mistaken for an 8” plumbing wall
“final” preliminary plan
on computer:•dimensional accuracy is much easier•always keep in mind: type of line, line weight, poche graphics door swings, etc…•this plan can eventually be used for the final presentation, so always be looking ahead
“final” preliminary plan
major changes at this point are counterproductive
minor changes—refinements rather than revisions—are possible and productive•addition of incidental furnishings•change of closet door from sliding to bi-fold•minor relocation of a partition by a few inches to better accommodate furnishings•relocation of a door to provide better access to a room
“final” preliminary plan
as refinements are completed, the presentation plan drawing can be made
fundamental element of typical interior design project presentation
good drawing quality provides a readable floor plan and creates a positive impression on clients
bare-bones approach
•adequate•computer aided•free hand•experiment with a combination of the two•careful use of templates will save time
PARTICIPATION ACTIVITY:refining the plan
using your rough floor plan as well as your kitchen, bath & storage drawings, refine the community center plan
your goal is make this plan clear and legible
we will use this plan next week to add further refinements such as materiality
do not make any major changes
BINDER ASSIGNMENT: Section 13design refinements & solutions
