This webinar will focus on reviewing both the Building Design and Interior Design Vignettes for the Schematic Design exam. Mike Newman will be reviewing the vignettes, and going over the strategies and resources for how to complete them.
Marc: All right, so we have lots of good questions here. Maybe we'll start with some recent ones. Ryan is asking so if you go back maybe a couple of slides, "Is that chair flanking a coffee table in the middle acceptable?" And I think this was maybe one back. Yeah, where those in the corner here.
Mike: Yeah, the coffee table was sort of . . . You guys are asking always great questions. The coffee table is this unusual like pretty much all of the other pieces of furniture have very strict rules about them. Obviously, I need to be able to get into a chair, right? Obviously the desk needs to work like a desk would work. The bookshelf needs to be facing in the correct direction. The file cabinets needs to be facing the correct direction. As far as I can tell the coffee table can be either off by itself just sitting in a corner, it can be next to a chair. I think the coffee table is the one that has the most flexibility and it's the one I would be least worry about in terms of how it sits. So I should think in that spot it's probably okay. That's not one of the reasons why this would be a failing example.
Marc: Okay, and then let's see here, "Is it required to have the 36-inch clear space all around the conference table where the table for four?
Mike: Yeah, so this is an interesting thing. The issue is I have to be able to get to everything. Every piece of furniture and into every room if I'm in a wheelchair, hence the 36 inch. So, for example on this plan, if you look you come into this room, I have the 36 inch clear as it goes along all the way to there. But then I don't have 36 inch behind that chair. That's not 36 inches but it doesn't matter because I can get to this chair, I can get to this chair, I can get to all of these, I get to this, I get all of these different pieces of furniture and if I wanted to I could go back the other way and get to all the other ones.
So I don't need to have this 36 inch go all the way around as long as I can get to every single piece. However, if for some reason, I had to get behind this to let's say I couldn't get through over here. For some reason there is something blocking the way and I had to go through from this side over to get to that, this would not be enough and I'd have to find a way to shift that conference from table to make sure I had the 36 inches there. And the same would be true on the four top as well.
Marc: So Emilia has an interesting question, she says, "Can you touch on how important it is to overlap walls?" She talks about how her first time through she thought the walls just went next to each other and didn't realize until she add a door at the end that they needed to overlap to cut through it. So maybe there's a broader question just about actually putting the real pieces in place.
Mike: Yeah, so you're overlapping them and it's all supposed to be self healing and that it will figure out that if you overlap it it's going to sort of it together that those are actually one wall. This is one of the reasons why you use check because if something is overlapped too much and so it's not able to do the self healing thing, then it should pop out as red. If they're too far apart from each other, it should do the same thing. So you actually use the tools at your hands and it should be fairly simple and straightforward but this is why you practice it.
Marc: Going back to this vignette. Vanessa is asking, "Doesn't the door on the right of a large room need to be left handed so that people exiting through the corridor don't get block by the door?" I think it's this door she's talking about.
That is certainly a good idea of so that they could exit out to the stair more easily because they're not being block by the door, but no, the computer is not going to see that. The only thing that the computer's going to see is that it's swinging into the corridor because it's an egress door. And the reason that that's okay is because we know these corridors are six foot wide, and so the door swinging into that, I have enough room to easily get by in the same way that anybody is already in that corridor has enough room to get by.
Yeah, I actually think that's probably okay as long as it's not touching and in the way. Many years ago, this program was designed in like 1994 and it went online in like '96 or so. So, you can imagine that this is a complicated conky little program because it's made at a very different time. But one of the few changes they actually made in it, I think probably in about maybe 2000 or so, was they made the executive chairs have that little arching shape to it.
