The systems discussed throughout the semester are listed below. Provide written text, professional sketches, details, and or drawings to describe at least two (2) of the systems as they relate to the design of your case study building which is the MAXXI MUSEUM, Rome Italy.
Create a final page poster 24″ x 18″, integrate your graphic responses into the final project presentation board layout. Be as detailed as possible in your responses.
List all resources as needed in the body of the poster. May be two pages if desired.
Please submit the final pages on this assignment upload as well as the final pages of the building analysis. both uploads are required
Select the building systems that you would like to highlight further in the final document.
Key factors for selection should include:
systems that you feel were under-represented in the building analysis assignments because of their design impact on the built environment,
systems that are complex in design, therefore, require more presence in the analysis
an area of the building that was not analyzed as part of the systems analysis assignments
sustainability factors present in the systems of the building
environmental systems impacting the building as related to context and/or systems
Structural Systems
Identify the structural system and characteristics of the structural system for the building. Describe what types of load factors likely impact the structure as well as the qualities associated with this type of structure.
(select an area of the drawing to detail. Add text to illustrate loads and forces on this type of structural system)
Enclosure Systems
A comprehensive look at the connections between ceilings, floors, and walls.
(The annotations should be in close proximity to the sectional drawing on the board)
Doors, Windows, Thresholds
Discuss how the doors and thresholds delineate space within the building and how that ties into the circulation and wayfinding in the interior space.
Electrical Systems
Describe how the electrical system including low voltage systems exist throughout the space. (Draw all power symbols and provide a legend on the board)
Lighting Systems
Expand on the lighting system within the interior noting types of:
Light sources/Lamps used/Lighting fixtures/Color rendition
Daylight impact on the building could be a focus
Fire, Life Safety Systems
Identify the fire resistive qualities of the building materials. (Select material you have researched in the space to expand on)
Accessibility and Universal Design
Expand on Universal Design and its place in the building. Noting all accessibility and universal issues implemented throughout.
Mechanical Systems
Analyze the indoor air quality factors associated with this building. What type of passive system exists and how does that impact the occupants of the building?
Plumbing Systems
Identify how water is used as a systems resource in the design of the building
Acoustics
Describe the acoustics within the space.
How do the building materials and shape of the space affect the acoustics of the interior design? Discuss sound transmission, sound isolation and building noise. Provide any solutions that you incorporated into the design.
Sustainability
Discuss the ecological efficiency and recyclable capabilities of the materials used in your design, as well as the energy efficient properties of the systems used.
