Anatomy Project Final Requirements

Louis Kahn, Yale University Art Gallery


Each group is expected to have at least three 30x40 boards on Thursday, September 20.

One board, descriptive 2d drawings to scale, background information and key images of the building.

Two boards should include the following:

Structural Documentation
- Major structural components and materials in building.
- Show how floor and roof slabs attach to the super structure
- Show how facade ties into structure

Mechanical Documentation
- Define types of mechanical system providing heating and cooling
- Locate fresh air intakes and relationship to facade
- Locate all ducting as well as chillers, coolers, air handling units, and hot water heaters

Facade Documentation
- Detail and describe major form, materials, apertures and thresholds
- Detail any integration with structure and mechanical systems

Circulation, Section, and Spatial Documentation
- Define major vertical and horizontal circulation systems
- Define programmatic zones
- Define relation to street, neighborhood

Wherever possible, these analytical drawings should be in 3d instead of 2d.
