Writing Nest - Part Three
|
| Part
1 [link] of
3 covered Setting; Metaphor, Theme
and Symbolism; Function; and, Antecedents.
Part 2 [link], Description; Grammar; Integration (with
other structures); the Design/Build Method; Schedule/Costs; Schematics (design);
and, Philosophy. What follows below is
Design Development work. PD
1 [link] shows
the front elevation, the plan at the deck level
and provides further description. |

| The
Design Development process is the bridge between
a schematic concept and the final Contract Documents
required to fabricate and build. In some cases the
Design Development work and the Contract Documents
are the same or nearly so. In cases like this project,
they are more likely to be distinct iterations of
work. |
| At
the beginning of the DD process, several issues emerged.
In order to scale the Nest appropriately, to the
rest of the structure, its size (width and height)
had to be cut down. This
made the centrally located circular stairway problematic
- there was not sufficient space between the work
surface and the stairway. Given that some day climbing
a
tight circular stairway may be a problem for us,
our associates, or some future owner, I decide to
incorporate a Lift instead. This opened up a number
of design possibilities and challenges (which will
be addressed below). |
