Bumble Bee At A Flower: "The Hard Working Bee": A model of productivity!

The Design Work of the Course Due every studio class session: Thoughtful design work that advances your project. The required 'deliverables' for this 'Retail In A Post-Pandemic World' project are: Written Components of the Project: (each of these are to be presentable documents on a separate sheet that includes your name, ART 3600, Fall 2020, saved as a pdf)

• Statement describing your selection and your thoughts (why you chose it and what it means to you) on the Intellectual Methodology that you select to use as a foundation for your approach to this project.

• Statement describing your selection and your thoughts (why you chose it and what it

means to you) on the Construction Technique/Tectonics that you select to use as an aspect of your project.

• Statement describing your selections and your thoughts (why you chose them and what it

means to you) on the Experiential Realities You Are To Emphasize as an aspect of your project spaces/experiences.

• Concept statement that provides an overall sense of what you are aiming to achieve through the choices, and approaches you take in this project.

Visual Components of the Project: Your project must include vertical partitions/walls, that are of three clear, distinct, observable, thicknesses:

• there must be vertical partitions/walls that are obviously, visually, thin in dimension (less than two inches thick)

• there must be vertical partitions/walls that are obviously, visually, moderate in dimension

(between five and nine inches thick)

• there must be vertical partitions/walls that are obviously, visually, thick in dimension (between two and four feet thick).

Your project must contain interesting visual and experiential elements such as:

• a 'reveal': a space, intentionally placed between objects, surfaces, patterns, or colors. a reveal is a minimal, elegant, way to maintain the clarity, the identity, and the wholeness of an element like a wall, a panel, a portion of a floor, a ceiling, et cetera.

• repetition: elements that are repeated provide evidence that it is 'supposed to be that

way'.

• variation within repetition: variation introduces 'interest' while the repetition creates unity, or coherence.

• levels of transparency: opaque - translucent - transparent: materials and patterns can be

manipulated to create levels of transparency, which creates clarity, or mystery, or a combination thereof.

• 'time sensitive' design. spaces that are different as time, as the day,

progresses. qualities of light, of brightness, of emotion; morning vs. mid-day, vs. evening. question: can you design 'a time sensitive retail space'?

• you must address the N, S, E, W orientation of the spaces.

• visual and physical transitions between all vertical and horizontal planes: when floors

meet walls, there is to be some form of visual and physical transition. when walls meet ceilings there is to be some form of visual and physical transition.

You are to design a Cash Wrap, Check Out Counter. Cash Wrap Design Basic Requirements: The cash wrap counter must provide a minimum of twelve (12) linear feet of counter surface; a minimum of 36" of which must meet ADA code sales counter requirements. The counter surface must meet ADA requirements. (must include a portion that is 34" max height) ADA Guide to Sales and Service Counters The counter surface must be appropriate in size and material for the product type/line your retail company is selling. The cash wrap must include:

• storage shelves and/or cubbies for employee personal items • storage shelves and/or cubbies for sales packaging/wrapping: bags, wrapping papers,

tape, etc. • trash container • signage visible to customers • lighting is to be indicated in presentation drawings • electronic/computer sales register • vertical surface behind the cash wrap counter as visually connected to the actual counter • overhead soffit element specific to the cash wrap • display shelves/case on or next to the 'front' for impulse buying items

The Cash Wrap Counter is to be presented through drawings at 3/8" = 1'-0"

elevation drawings of front, inside/back and one side plan view of top of counter one vertical section through the counter

Overall Project Presentation Requirements 1. One (1) large scale, (1/4"=1'-0" or larger): rendered floor plan showing ALL spaces with furnishings and required functional elements, such as sinks and bookshelves. The floor plan must include accurate, and appropriate line weights. 2. Reflected ceiling plan (1/4"=1'-0" or larger): show ceiling elements; light fixtures, hvac components, ceiling 'shapes', smoke alarms, fire sprinklers, and any other elements located in the ceiling.

2a. Lighting plan showing lighting components (may be integrated with the reflected ceiling plan). 3. Lighting specification (a grid listing all lighting components) on the lighting plan/reflected ceiling plan. 4. One vertical building section, (1/2"=1'-0" or larger) showing the full width of the spaces you are using and the vertical dimension and character of the spaces you have designed. 5. Three construction 'details' showing precisely how materials join; details must be created, developed by you; they do not exist on their own. 6. A sequential set of perspectives (minimum of eight (8)) showing color, materials, human figures, furnishings, ceiling elements, and lighting, as they occur in the showroom, offices, break room, and work room. These may be drawn by hand, or using SketchUP or other digital rendering software of your choice. 7. Five (5) paper/mat board/balsa wood study models of interesting portions/aspects/elements of the space(s). These are to be 'study' models; done while you are thinking about what an element might be like, NOT finished models that show what you have already finished designing. These models are to be done during the exploration and development phases of your project. Start them immediately, Monday, August 24, and do one or more as you are thinking about what your space and the elements within it may be like. These should generally be about the size of a regular loaf of bread. NO FOAMCORE allowed in the models. All models MUST be made using several different materials of varied thickness and character. 8. Materials presentation boards: this may be digital, OR physical, depending upon your access to physical materials. Show all important material and finish characteristics (may be digital) Include colors used, window treatments, major surface materials and finishes. 9. Finish schedule for each space: a spread sheet that lists the finishes of every surface (walls, floor, ceiling) in every space: what is the finish, the material, and the color. 10. Furniture specification: a spread sheet that lists every piece of furniture, including the manufacturer, the materials it is made of, and any specific options, such as casters or gliders. 11. Code overlay sheet: A floor plan sheet (may be digital) that shows an analysis of your design spaces in terms of basic building code issues. use good architectural graphics (arrows, dashed lines, bold lines, colors) and brief written notes. 12. Budget: the cost of all components of a selected large object, or area within the project. List all lighting fixtures, furniture, finish materials, special equipment. general

construction costs can be added in at a rate of $ 150.00 per square foot of commercial space in an interior renovation project. Project Schedule Due Dates Late Work Will Be Downgraded: All components are due at the beginning of class on the date listed unless otherwise stated. Tuesday, September 22 Space planning studies due today: bubble diagrams, adjacency relationships, preliminary plan layout studies. These are to be 'presentable' documents: they may be hand drawn on paper, or done digitally using any software you wish. They are to be neatly drawn and visually composed, with a drawing title beneath the drawing image. These are to be clear expressions of your design decisions, in plan layout, about how your retail project spaces will be organized and related to one another. Thursday, September 24 Two Color Palettes due today: each is to consist of a minimum of nine (9) identifiable colors. These are to be about color only, not about material. These are to be 'presentable' documents labeled 'Color Palette Options.' Use 'middle mix' as a method for creating these palettes. The four (4) Written Components of the project are due today: they are to be pdf documents, as described. Begin SketchUp 3-d model of your entire space envelope/container. Either import the AutoCAD drawings into SketchUp, or draw new in SketchUp and begin to create the 3-d existing walls, columns, and floors of the building. Tuesday, September 29 Three (of the total of five) Study Models due today. These are to be presentable model objects. They are to be roughly the size of a standard loaf of bread. They are to have an appropriate level of physical and visual complexity; they are to be interesting to look at and discuss. They do NOT have to be 'well crafted' but they do need to be interesting. Thursday, October 1 Materials presentation board due today. This may be digital or hand made but it is to present your current thoughts on the materials that you plan on using for major surfaces, such as floors, walls, ceilings, as well as for counter tops, check out/cash wrap counters, cabinetry, shelving, and any other built in components.

Work on ideas for ceiling surfaces. This may include suspended ceiling sections, acoustical ceiling elements, lighting elements/fixtures on the ceiling. The ceiling should include color(s) specific materials, and any custom components that you may design yourself. Tuesday, October 6 Reflected Ceiling (RCP) due today: document setup in AutoCAD OR Revit OR hand drafted. This is to be a base drawing upon which you will be adding information as you advance your project. This is to be a separate digital file, OR a separate sheet of paper from other project documents. Thursday, October 8 Select preliminary lighting fixtures due today: to provide for Ambient, Task, and Accent lighting in your project spaces. This is to be a specification sheet that includes manufacturer, fixture name or ID information, lumen output, and a photo/image of the fixture. Begin plan, elevation, and vertical section studies of the Cash Wrap Checkout. Tuesday, October 13 A vertical section drawing due today: through the entire length of your project spaces. This drawing is to show the existing building floor thickness(es) and if applicable the roof thickness, as well as the thickness of the existing perimeter/exterior walls, including windows if they are included in the section cut. Your new interior components may be gradually added to this document as you advance your project. Thursday, October 15 Furniture selections due today: This may be digital or hand made but it is to present your current selections of the furnishings that you currently plan on using in project spaces. Identify the manufacturer, the specific piece by name or product number, the main materials in the piece, and the year the piece was designed or manufactured. Work on interior vertical surfaces: these may be 'walls', 'partitions', 'screens', free standing display or shelving units, or any other vertical elements that you select or design to create interior space and experiences. Tuesday, October 20 Two study models due today. These are to be presentable model objects. They are to be roughly the size of a standard loaf of bread. They are to have an appropriate level of physical

and visual complexity; they are to be interesting to look at and discuss. They do NOT have to be 'well crafted' but they do need to be interesting. Thursday, October 22 Begin work on 'Three Construction Details.' Details are created by designers to add visual, tactile, and functional interest in objects and spaces. A 'detail' is a BIG view of a small, special condition. Tuesday, October 27 Work on Cash Wrap Counter Thursday, October 29 Cash Wrap Checkout Counter Due. Tuesday, November 3 Work on SketchUp model Thursday, November 5 Work on Construction Details Tuesday, November 10 Begin budget analysis of selected specific small area OR singular large object in your project scenario. Thursday, November 12 Work on Construction Details and Budget Analysis Tuesday, November 17 Begin exploration of Building Code issues in Retail projects. See 'Code Check Documents' 1, 2, and 'Code Checklist for Typical Interiors Projects' on our Project Resources web page.

Thursday, November 19 Work on SketchUP model. Tuesday, November 24 Work on SketchUp model Thursday, November 26: Thanksgiving Holiday: no classes in session at Ohio University Tuesday, December 1 Work on any project components needed. Thursday, December 3: Last Day of Studio Class Work on any project components needed. Final Exam Sessions (Presentation & Critiques): These are the official Ohio University scheduled final exam times Tuesday, December 8: 12:20pm -2:20pm Thursday, December 10: 12:20 - 2:20pm We will present our final projects by alphabetical order, beginning on Tuesday and continuing through Thursday. Draw every 'idea' you may have in plan, in vertical section, and in elevation. Every idea you have, about every physical element in your project must be studied, and presented, to you, and to me, in these three fundamental, necessary, views. Each of these views compliments and adds to the others. None of these views, by themselves, can fully explain, or show, a physical object that has complex form and variation.
