This project focuses on advanced methods of project delivery and construction documents incorporating digital technologies and investigating new models for linking design and construction processes. It introduces Building Information Modeling as one of the tools for realignment of the traditional relationships between the project stakeholders. Using a single unit residential building located in Los Angles, we analyzed and developed the architecture by creating a detailed 3d digital model and a set of 2d construction documents specifically tailored for the design challenges of a single unit residential project.
The project is to consist of a 3 floor building and a basement. The basement and the first floor will be made from concrete. The second and the third floor will be made of type-5 construction. The program will include: basement parking for eight cars, level 1 will be an art gallery and an art shop, level 2 will consist of office spaces with accommodations and level 3 will be the residential program. The lot area requirements of the R4 Zone (Section 12.11 C. 4) will apply to all portions of the building used for residential program. Total building square footage is 4000 sq. ft.
