SF Planning Code: Projections Over the Property Line
So, some astute people have asked overhanging the property line. Others have not and just went ahead and did it. Well, here is the skinny from the SF Planning code. You must conform to the code.
As a side note keep in mind that SF clearly allows conditioned space to do this, just to promote the bay window tradition. In most cities the proerty line is fairly inviolate. With these rules, you will clearly not be able to project anymore than 3'-0" maximum.

Decided to post this link after all
http://tenderloin.net/
Ok, before you click on this link, I don't find any of the content on this site particularly funny. However, this is one person's perception of the tenderloin neighborhood. Needless to say, a very cynical one. The poor attempt at humor and the gratuitous shock content stand as one person's (or group of people) method of dealing with a difficult reality.

things to think about when designing
1) Shape and Shadow: Massing and orientation decisions that involve function, daylight, and structural considerations.
2) How the Building Breathes: Natural ventilation and passive heating and cooling.
3) Site Opportunities: Where to locate the building on the property, and how it will relate to its immediate context.
4) Comfort System: With heating and cooling loads largely determined, the team can get into systems design.
5) Envelope: Types of walls and location of windows,
6) Materials: What will the various surfaces be made of?
7) Lighting Design: Look at both daylighting and electrical lighting throughout.
8) Quality Assurance: Review the building as a system.

site model work weekend
The site model is slowly coming together. We understand that this weekend, the class as a whole, will participate in the construction of the site base. This hopefully will be completed by Monday in order for you all to be able to focus on your individual schemes. Good luck.
for friday, february 9th class
All,
There were some frequent and common comments from Aimee and I while going through individual desk crits on Wednesday, such as the absence of site context and/or focusing too much on details.
To better facilitate the desk crit on Friday, please have the following ready for review:
1) Concept statement and diagrams
· Attempt to have a succinct statement of your overall objective for the Y. So don’t forget who is using, and how they are using the Y!
· Diagrams/Sketches supporting the above (most of you have this already)
2) Program confirmation
· This does not have to be hard numbers with all the square footage accounted for.
· It should, however, be a program list that supports the concept statement.
3) Site context sketches
· The neighborhood is a rich context, so take advantage of it! SHOW us how the concept draws and gives back to the community.
· Show which program elements engage the street, the residential blocks, the federal offices, etc.
4) Environmental Strategy
· Sean gave a plethora of choices to reinforce your concept. Select a few strategies that seem pertinent to the concept.
5) Plans AND Sections (the font is bigger because it’s important)
· Develop plans and sections simultaneously. Plans should inform sections, and vice versa. Sketch out in perspective the moments that seem vital to your concept.
· Both should illustrate how programmatic adjacencies and stacks speak to your CONCEPT, while incorporating the site context and environmental strategy.
***All the above should be printed out on 11x17. Materials shown on the monitor should only be supporting, not the main.

2/6/07 sean timmons visiting class
Tomorrow Sean Timmons will be in class to discuss new thinking with regards to MPE systems. Please try to maximize your interaction with him and his colleague. This is a great time to gain as much information as possible to strategize systems design within your buildings. The school will be offering a group of engineers to meet with at the midterms time but, this interaction could give you a lot of ideas and some momentum towards that midterm review. Please take advantage of this. Thanks.
site model update
looks like we are about halfway done with laser cutting the chip board. we'll need two, maybe three more sessions to get it done. Megan has one scheduled for tomorrow (wednesday), luis has one on friday (pin-up?) and I have one on saturday if we can't get another before then. We should have the base done this weekend.
Basswood may get here by friday. WHOA..could we get this thing knocked out by the end of the weekend?

$$$$
I'm going to be collecting $16 from everyone for the site model. The sooner I get this from each of you, the better.
Thanks!

02.02 Studio Agenda
Let's meet at the open area near lecture hall (where we had our initial site analysis presentation).
We will begin with a quick 30 minute presentation and discussion on materiality, using Steven Holl's St. Ignatius Chapel as case study.
We will then follow with small group crits of your individual concept-program-narrative. There will be 4 teams, starting with:
Since we have quite a bit to cover, and I like to respect everyone's time (especially Friday), each person will have approximately 15 minutes to present and discuss.

Mapping diagrams
I thought I would post some inspirational mappings that I found compelling. Please try for qualities that are visually consistant, data rich, and meaningful.
