Library Utilities

3.2.2

1. For this project I made a change in the roof joists to make them stronger and more efficient.

2.

3. Because of this project I now know how to change the ceiling joists and how to tell which ones are best for my structure.

3.2.3

1. For this project I calculated stuff
3. BOOOOMMM!!!!

3.2.4

1. For this project I calculated stuff

3.I learned how to use MD Solids and how to calculate long numbers

Library commercial roof

1.      Select a low slope roof treatment for the upper roof of the Keystone project and incorporate your choice into your 3D architectural model.  Do not include structural support of the roof at this time. BUR

Research low-slope roof treatments and walking surfaces that would allow human traffic. Document two products that could be used as a walking surface on the green roof planned for the lower roof of the Keystone Library. Include sketches or images of each product.

LIVE ROOF

GRAVEL ROOF

2.    Research green roofs and document at least two green roof systems that could be used on the lower roof of the Keystone Library. Select a green roof system for use on the Keystone Library Renovation. Document your selection with a sketch or image of a cross section or of the selected system and label each required layer. Justify your choice.

I chose this type of green roof because it is cheap, easy to install, and works well.

5.  During this project I learned about green roofs and how they work.  I did not know they existed before this project and its a good thing for me to know.

Floor Activity

1. For this activity I made a second floor for my library.  Before, it didn't have one so I made one myself.


2.

3. In this project I learned how to place floors on separate levels of a building.  Next time I build a structure in Revit, I wont have to ask for help.

Library

1. For this project, we started with the skeleton of a library.  We added renovations like a new roof, a green roof, bathrooms, and shelving.  We also learned about different types of walls and what they were used for in construction.

2.

3.I learned a lot about the revit program during this project.  I learned how to make roofs, different wall systems and 

Structural Efficiency

1. For this project, me and a group of 3 built a structure out of 12 playing cards and tape. We weighed the structure and preformed a stress test until the structure collapsed.  Our structure was able to hold over 55 pounds and only weighed .1 pounds

2. Photo

3. Our structure was by far the best in the class.  It was able to hold over 55 pounds without collapsing

4.  Our efficiency rating was 513

5. Prior to the final testing, our structure was extremely strong.  We had an extra card that we used for base support and it made a large difference.

1.For this project I researched different wall types and labeled various parts of them.  Then I made a wall in Revit and made a section view.

4. I now know how the main types of wall systems used in architecture work.  This will help me if I ever become a civil engineer.  

Plumbing Plan

1. For this project I drew plumbing plans to get water into my water heater from the street, how to get the hot water and cold water to my appliances, and how to get the waste water back the the waste water pipe in the street.

3. I learned a lot about how plumbing systems work in residential areas and how water goes to and from homes.

Affordable House Sketches

For this part of the project I drew a few rough sketches of the homes I proposed to my client.  This is the final sketch that my client chose.  This helped me see what kinds of homes people like and what kinds of homes people don't like which can help me save time and money in the future.

Affordable House Site Plan

1. For this assignment, I placed my house that I created in Revit into a pre-made site that we were given. I also drew property lines and put them in the correct location.

3. From this project i learned how to place items built in Revit into other Revit drawings.  This is important because now I can combine projects to make ones.

Electrical Plans

1. For this project we learned about how electrical systems are planned and added to homes.  I added an electrical panel and box to my house and made a rough electrical plan for my house.

3. I learned a lot more than I knew before about how electrical systems in houses work. 

Affordable House

1. For this project, I designed an affordable house for Habitat For Humanity in Revit.  My partner, Austin, approved my design and I built it in Revit.
3.  I learned a lot about building houses in Revit and many functions of the program
