1. CAD Term Project Winter 2018

2. http://www.oneseed.ca/index.php/project-update-green-roof-installed-at-passive-narrow-house/http://www.oneseed.ca/index.php/project-update-green-roof-installed-at-passive-narrow-house/ PREAMBLE You are about to undertake your first major task which requires you to put together a professional quality set of presentation drawings using AutoCAD and SketchUP.  Part of your training at Sheridan is for you to equip yourself with a portfolio of relevant examples of your work.  Think of these drawings as part of your portfolio which will be used when applying for work. This project requires you to undertake research to identify a single-family house of some architectural significance. The house MUST BE PUBLISHED IN A BOOK, MAGAZINE, PERIODICALor the INTERNET and must have sufficient drawings and photographs to allow you to draw the floor plans, primary elevation and a building section. The house should not be listed in the restricted list spreadsheet. The article about the building must also include some descriptive information about the house, to allow you to write a report about it. Once you have identified the article describing the house you wish to use, it must be approved by your instructor. The same house cannot be used by anyone else - approval will be granted on a first-come-first-served basis.

3. REPORT REQUIREMENTSORGANIZATION Cover page The cover page should be concise, clear and simple.  It should indicate the following; title of report author of the report who the report is being prepared for date the report is issued Consider including graphics on the cover page, that is relevant to the subject matter.  Within the context of Sheridan College, when submitting a technical report you should also include; your student number the course for which the report is being prepared your program of study

4. REPORT REQUIREMENTSORGANIZATION The cover page does not include a page number. The cover page does not generally include a header or a footer. Executive Summary The executive summary is a condensed description of the report, generally no greater than one page in length.   It is included to allow a quick overview of the report - for the person who is too busy to read the whole thing. The executive summary will indicate to the reader whether they need to further study the entire report in more detail. The executive summary should contain background information on the purpose of the report, including the author's name and who it's being written for.  It should include a general description of the major content of the report.  Additionally, it should note the primary recommendations and/or conclusions arising from the report.

5. REPORT REQUIREMENTSORGANIZATION The executive summary should be written last.   The executive summary page is not numbered. Table of Contents (Index Page) The index page is not numbered - page numbering begins at Section 1 Section 1.0   Introduction The introduction deals with the purpose of the report and the areas that the report is going to cover.  WHAT is being done, WHY and for WHOM ?  Also, give the report some context as to what has come before. The introduction should be concise  - but not too short! Page numbering starts at the Introduction.

6. REPORT REQUIREMENTSORGANIZATION Section 2.0            Architectural Features and Style Describe the features of the house which contribute to the unique architectural character of the house. Identify the architectural style as learned in your History of Architecture class. Section 3.0            Circulation & Zoning of the House Discuss the organization of circulation within the house.  Describe how you enter and move through the rooms. Analyze the general organization of the layout of the house into zones and comment in the proximity of the rooms. Section 4.0            Construction Systems and Materials Describe the construction materials and building systems used in your project.

7. REPORT REQUIREMENTS Section 5.0            Conclusion/ Recommendations The conclusion of the report summarizes the major finding made throughout the report.  Also reference what should be done next with your findings, in the form of recommendations. Appendices Appendix A            The Drawings Place here the AutoCAD drawings printed in an 11 x 17 paper. It should be folded so that fits the 8 ½ x 11 folder (see sample) Appendix B            Area Computation, Construction Cost Spreadsheet and Analysis Compute for the areas of the interior spaces and multiply this by the cost per square meter value provided. Create a table of the Estimated Construction Cost using Microsoft Excel

8. REPORT REQUIREMENTS Appendix C            Information Sources Every thought / picture in your report that is not your own ORIGINAL idea must be referenced!!  This includes books, web pages, conversations with people, email correspondence, anything!!  Your report should be full of references, but also should have many of your own original ideas. All references to be provided in accordance with APA (American Psychological Association) report standards. Don’t forget to place in-text citation as well. Remember you are reporting about somebody else’ project and it is expected that your analysis are based on their work. Submit your project in the turnitin link in SLATE as a guide for you to know whether there are sentences that need to be re-written and cited properly. Visit our library for assistance regarding this if you have any questions regarding citing your works. Remember, plagiarism will merit an automatic fail on the project and a case will be filed against you for this violation.
