Portfolio desing

Portfolio (2000 word equivalent) • This coursework will simulate the submission of a planning application document to accompany a wider submission for Outline permission. You will self-select a site for [re]development in Lyon (materials will be given). You will be required to produce an A3 portfolio which will, in a formal manner as required for a planning submission, present a redevelopment proposal. Your submission will be modelled on the principles of a Design and Access Statement. • It will include the following: – Illustrative plans – Design and Access Statement framework respons • A set of drawings as follows: – Location plan identifying your site by outlining it in red – Masterplan showing your site and surroundings with the proposed building(s) on it – this is the one you do need to create yourself at least – Other plans/images to illustrate the design concept; if you don’t feel comfortable producing this yourself, find precedents and present these DAS • A very visual submission • You should use precedents extensively to support each section • Should represent DAS best practice in the elements we are picking up on • Needs to do what a DAS is intended to deliver in the elements it is picking up on – the context and the response (equally in our case) • Your Design and Access Statement (DAS) This explains the thinking behind your building and argues the case for getting permission. You can get help on how to compile this section by looking at: [login to view URL]:/[login to view URL] ations/design-and-access-statements Your design and access statement must include sections on: 1. Introduction 2. Site history 3. Site and context presentation 4. Site and context analysis 5. Proposal overview 6. Use 7. Amount 8. Layout 9. Scale 10. Landscaping 11. Appearance 12. Access 13. Environment and Energy All of the above must consider the site in context, not just the application site. Particular attention should be given to the application of urban design and movement principles in the layout, landscaping and access sections. Although you are submitting in support of an Outline application with all matters reserved, your DAS will need to give indicative information in all of the identified sections. This should be based upon your own sketches and ideas, plus precedent studies to point to the details of your scheme. In respect of your building your DAS must not simply describe the building but explain and justify. You will work on the assumption that the planning application is being submitted with a comprehensive planning statement as a distinct and separate document from the DAS and as such your DAS will concentrate on good planning and design principles as opposed to specifically referencing planning policy. You are not expected to produce Architect standard drawings; the focus of this submission is presenting a well-considered and justified planning response to the context. You can illustrate your work using design software, hand drawn sketches, photographs, and images drawn from elsewhere to indicate how you envisage your site coming forward. You are marking on your presentational approach, but not your graphical skills.
