This report is being written as if you were to fully design my senior project. These are all
the steps and procedures you would need to take to properly design it. First thing you would need
to do would be identifying specific landmarks of surrounding land or lot. You would note down
anything and roughly measure marks approximate to house location, this way you would have a
general idea of where the house would be. If there are no big landmarks, such as nearby houses
or roads - you should note small markings such as trees or pathways, anything to help you
identify the location of the house. Also, you should note climate, that can be a factor.
After you’ve surveyed the entire scene you should write down all ideas having to do with
what the house will need to be habitable and reference surrounding buildings for notes. For
example if a building near the house lot has a high angled roof, that could be because of heavy
snow or rainfall. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or extensivly look up ideas.
Next will come your rough draft, this is basically self explanatory. You will create
preliminary sketches of floor plan with rough dimensions, and sketch a view of the house
dimensioned from landmarks. The information on your rough sketch does not have to be exact,
but it must be more informative then the notes you had taken earlier.
After getting specifics from the consumer, you will begin to construct your floor plan.
Day, 2
While it is your (our) job to create convinience and simplicity in the house design, you must
consider the consumers ideas and needs. When you do this plan you must label all doors with
Door tags, these will be used later. When putting dimensions in your floor plan make sure they
are specific and detailed. Try not to over dimension, but do not underdimension, carefully check
every dimension, to see if it was duplicated or noted beforehand. Now will come the basement
plan, dimension everything accordingly and show all needed floor supports. The needs for this
house are different because of it's large design, lolly columns are neccisary. Label everything.
When your done with the basement and floor plans you should construct a electrical plan
and plumbing plan, the electrical plan is necessary in this project, but the plumbing is not. "Now
day's you count on a licenced plumer to come in, they are the experts and they'll know whats

3. After the purchase of land (cookie) and equipment, the cookie was placed on the graph paper and its outline was traced. Then, the initial topography of the region was determined and recorded (Turn the cookie on its side and draw the side-view).

...hey have entered the house, and then keeps it as you pass through the disappearing walls, pivoting doors, retractable stairs, and floating floors. It incorporates architecture, interior architecture and furniture design to create a total design that can be modified for different occupants. It truly is functional space.
Focus shall be on utilizing pre-production tools while developing the prototypes. Actual material, wherever possible, shall be used in the development of prototypes rather than having substituted parts. Make the prototypes as closer as possible to actual outputs.
Midwestern style home. When you first look at the picture, you will be under the impression that
that are in the way. Chainmen carry a chain made of steel wire and measure the length
The first step to development is to survey the property in order to document and draw the bounds and land surface shapes. The property will be represented by various geometry elements such as points, lines, arcs, circles, and other defined geometry shapes. Surveyors use scope on tripods witch use projection of line Referenced point on a stick in order to measure the variations of the heights on the ground. This tool uses various angel theorems and postulates to find location of property boundaries, property corners, utilities and building layouts on the property. The surveyor uses the data collected to draw the property layout on a 36”x 24”sheet of paper.
Then, match up similar descriptions you’ve written in Phases 3 and 4 of the neighborhood. Write them all out.
First, we had to measure each of the lines (Lines A-J) in inches and centimeters.
Identify and label shapes throughout the environment. Example: do a shape hunt in the classroom.
24. Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. (Sizes are compared directly or visually, not compared by measuring.) Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. [2-G1]
The first thing in building a house is selecting a lot and lot preparation. The land has to be cleared of trees and brush and graded to ensure a level building area. This process is usually called excavating and grading. This is usually a very fast process but can be costly depending on the job.
Surveying is the technique and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional space position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually, but not exclusively, associated with positions on the surface of the Earth, and are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes. In order to accomplish their objective, surveyors use elements of geometry, engineering, trigonometry, mathematics, physics, and law.
Although a home takes many years to begin to resemble a comfortable enviroment that we as humans set up to live within a sheltered structure; there are many problems that might be overt and some that we might not readily notice. In this essay I will examine some of the causes that make homes comfortable and bring us as a species closer to nature as well as the causes that might have a negative impact on our lives.
