ASSESSMENT 3A and 3B – The Bathing Pavilion Final Presentation & Detailed Section
Assignment Overview
Deliverables for 3A
- Site analysis drawings/photos/maps (maximum 3 slides) – diagrams, photographs and drawings to explain the site analysis relevant to your design proposal (you may re-use drawings from your site visit). Hint: Use these to help explain the “why” of your design.
- New 1 x physical model of the site with your proposal at 1:100 scale (in some cases 1:200 or 1:50 may be more appropriate – discuss with your tutor) showing the relevant context and reconsidered scheme. This model should be carefully crafted and at a “final presentation” level, professional quality. We recommend limiting the number of materials used and avoid pseudo-realistic materials such as fake grass – discuss with your tutor.
- 1 x digital isometric drawing of the pavilion, showing context.
- 1 x site plan at 1:500 scale, showing broader context.
- 1 x plan of each level at 1:100 scale.
- 2 x sections at 1:100 scale, showing context. Minimum one section needs to cut through the river edge.
- Concept/strategy diagram(s).
- Model photo(s) included in the digital presentation.
- Relevant process model(s)/drawing(s).
- Include your isometric and concept/strategy drawing of your seat from Assessment 1 in your presentation.
Deliverables for 3B:
- 1 x “detailed” detail section at 1:20 scale of a key part of the design, showing how the materials come together, how light enters the space(s), the human/animal/plant occupation, how the proposal meets the ground and/or the water, and anything else that “constructs” the space.
Delivery:
- Digital in-studio presentation
- 1 x printed copy of presentation at A3, stapled and submitted to your tutor (make sure you include model photographs)
- Online submission on VUWS
Assessment Requirements – Brief Summary
The assessment for the Bathing Pavilion project is divided into Assessment 3A and Assessment 3B, focusing on site analysis, design proposals, and detailed construction documentation. The key requirements are:
Assessment 3A – Design Proposal & Presentation:
- Site analysis (drawings, photos, maps) to explain the context and rationale.
- Physical model of the site with the design proposal (recommended 1:100 scale).
- Digital isometric drawing of the pavilion showing context.
- Site plan (1:500) and floor plans of each level (1:100).
- Two sections at 1:100 scale, with at least one cutting through the river edge.
- Concept/strategy diagrams to explain design approach.
- Model photos included in the digital presentation.
- Process drawings and isometric/concept drawings from previous assessment included.
Assessment 3B – Detailed Documentation:
- One detailed section at 1:20 scale of a key part of the design.
- Show material connections, light penetration, human/animal/plant interactions, and how the design interfaces with ground or water.
Delivery Requirements:
- Digital in-studio presentation.
- Printed A3 copy including model photographs.
- Online submission on VUWS.
