AXP hours – 4 (Project Planning and Design)

I participated in a design charrette with Civil and Landscape engineers and the client for a single-family development called Point Hope. We are designing a pavilion house and pool area for the new development’s tennis and pool amenities and discussed design and occupancy of the space. It was interesting working with other people in the field. We went in depth on what the desired purpose for the space and its needs.

AXP hours – 4 (Project Development and Documentation)

I made final redline changes to the presentation floor plan for the Tennis House project and continued my efforts for the existing MUSC Bioengineering Building.

Lessons learned:

This week I learned about client and consultant relations and the collaborate design process through the charrette opportunity for the Point Hope Sports Amenity project. Even though the project is smaller there are alot of considerations for the design depending on the desires of the clients and their projected occupancies of different programs. I also reviewed ANSI codes in terms of door, corridor, and shower clearances to allow users to occupy the space in a safe and accessible way.
