green light turned orange


Pls remember that the light has in little to do with passing or failing in terms of approach/ quality of work,
But more with completeness and representation. So a green light does not guarantee a good mark not does
the orange one indicate a bad one. It simply shows that you were not presenting yet what is expected.
Red is however concerning in terms of quantity and most possibly quality.
The absent students have to present a valid reason for their absence to be able to continue the project.
Should you have been marked absent and were there and crited, contact me, I will double check on the crit lists.

Here is what you ALL have to look at

-          Site plan – larger context, view of roofs (this is a roofing project...)
-          Incl existing ground floor with the position of the staircase in the presentation (can be 1:100 if space problems)
-          Plan + section, elevation have to relate to each other should be they underneath each other – walls of section have to be above/ below corresponding walls in plan
-          Gutters and flows of rainwater have to be considered, planned for and this has to be shown in the drawings
-          Timber structure has to be represented in plan, section (and elevation if applicable)
-          It must be clear and obvious how your roof is constructed.
-          Your roof sits on an existing structure – you need to draw and build this structure.
-          Scale, north, drawing titles
-          Watch you backgrounds in renderings – no tropical sunsets or other effects, your design in its actual context
Is what you have to show. Start with line drawings, then add carefully any effect.

If you (kind of) finished construction (section + model, either one or best both) BRING IT ON THURSDAY!
It will be to your advantage.
If you are not (kind of) finished, you’ll bring it to the oral. It will not be to your disadvantage.
