ARCH 689 INVADER BIM: March 2010
http://ribbit-ribbit-gd.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 7, 2010. Project One: Final Renderings (for now). This was definitely a learning experience. It's kinda like decorating a cake for the first time. all the elements are there, but it doesn't look as great as the picture in the magazine: a tad lopsided, leaves and flowers a bit deformed, perhaps even out of proportion. But, it's my first one, and I'm impressed with what this program can do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wake up, time to travel. View my complete profile. ARCH 689 Course Home.

ARCH 689 INVADER BIM: Project 2: Cabin Porch Parametrics
http://ribbit-ribbit-gd.blogspot.com/2010/04/cabin-porch-parametrics.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. Project 2: Cabin Porch Parametrics. So, I know the porch overhang can't really grow depending on the sun angle, but this is just an exercise. These images are of different lengths of the porch overhang, depending on the angle of the sun on the summer solstice. I chose the times of 9am, 12pm, and 3pm based on their use for LEED guidelines. The object of the porch shading is to protect the south wall from rain, but not to cover the porch in shade on the rare sunny days. The overha...

Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Project One: Preliminary Drawings and Building Description. This building is a log cabin structure in remote south central coastal Alaska. The site, six miles from Cordova and less than 60 miles from the site of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, is accessible only by boat or float plane. It is built on a tidal island on the edge of Alice Cove; the island itself is rock covered by gravel, forest, and a peat bog. To get to this point took seven years,. Of the existing windows, an...

ARCH 689 INVADER BIM: April 2010

Monday, April 26, 2010. The Final Project: Images and Descriptions. This is on the Vernal equinox at 1pm. The large overhang (11ft) protects the south wall. The low angle of the sun this time of year (less than 29 degrees) requires that the shading device be impressively sized. During the winter, the sun angle and light intensity is so low that no shading is required. Even if you wanted to , the sun never reaches above 6 degrees, and then only for an hour or so. So a simple overhang would never b...Final...

ARCH 689 INVADER BIM: Pictures of Possible Material Choices
http://ribbit-ribbit-gd.blogspot.com/2010/04/pictures-of-possible-material-choices.html
Friday, April 9, 2010. Pictures of Possible Material Choices. Here is an image of what we're thinking of for the stairs. I'd prefer something a bit lighter looking (I was looking at photos of some of those Alvar Aalto stairs), but this is what we got instead. We're still in negotiations. I'd like to include a window seat for the big window in the living room. I couldn't find a photo of exactly what I'd like, but here is an image that captures the general idea.
