Project Development: Presentation interim review Monday November 5

You may want to read now this text, that gives the overall direction and philosophy of what we are doing. It is important that you feel the specific reasons of this design work.
"A manifesto for an architecture of Information"

During the period of my absence - and with the guidance of architect Matt Fineout- you have to carry on the specific subpart of your project that you think we agreed is the most appropriate. Do not consider your overall scheme as an absoute must: it is natural that some features are modified while you are developing the specific buildings. Consider its general characteristics rather that the detail.
For this Interim Review of November 5 you are requested to present:
 

A. 3 comparable buildings that present similarities with what you are proposing. Study them very carefully and try to understand  their construction and distribution systems in order to have a possible guidance for your design

B. A "study" model at scale 1" to 20' of your chosen part. It is important that the model is a instrument for thinking and experimenting rather than "a presentation" tool. Do it as much as possible from free re-assembled parts.

C. You have to start producing orthogonal drawings at 1" to 20' (at least a plan and 2 sections) of the buildings. Concentrate on distribution and construction systems and on your  strategies to address occupancy issues.

D. A one page report which includes:
- Your client point of view on your mid term and on this project development
- Your reviewer point of view on mid term and project development following the list below:
