For our final project, we designed a performing arts center for our school. We had to follow certain critical codes in the design process which limited the overall product of the structure. We also had the constraint of the size of the lot that we could have which caused another obstacle in the design of the building. This was also a group project, and in which our group suffered from constant fighting until half way through the project where we decided that we needed to stop complaining and get it done. At times we acted childish but we still got it done and did well. We were also the smallest group. That added an extra obstacle.
one of the biggest obstacles was the calculations for the building. Luckily, i was able to split up the work with my group members unlike other groups. We finished the calculations in a timely manner. We did the heat loss and gain, storm water runoff, and beam calculations.
We had a very well built and designed model of the site. we also organized the building very well and simple.
1. The sustainable and energy efficient characteristics for the proposed project are lots of windows and lots of tees for shade.
2. The most difficult part of the project to complete was being able to find the structural design calculations. It was the most difficult because we couldn’t find these calculations until we had finished the building and the fact that we didn’t know how to star the calculations.
3. One improvement that I would have incorporated if given sufficient time would have been more energy efficient products like recycled products throughout the building
4. A career path that I discovered during this project that I was previously unaware of was a mechanical electrical plumber.
