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.

And it's also not that many correct answers and so you have to stumble onto the correct answer. So the basic thing here is, you are making a very small office design and it's really about, did you make room for all of the accessibility rules? Did you answer all align items of the program and did you make it follow all the accessibility rules? And it's really best if it is think of it as a little game because it doesn't make sense otherwise.

You have to move so fast through it that you have to just think of it like, "Did I get the points for getting in all the program right?" So, again, basic thing here is you want to . . . the program here is much many as many fewer rooms. It's probably only going to be five offices, maybe six, but it's going to a lot of little detail pieces of information. So you want to understand what the issues are, you want to figure out what your basic plan is likely to be by using some quick sketching.

You're then going to go through the details and then you're going to follow through and draw it all out and then you're going to use the check the try to find everything at the last second to make sure you got it all done right. Again, one thing at a time, keep it simple, remember it's a puzzle. So, first thing, you're going to start by taking a look at the drawing that's given to you. I've put a desk in just so you can see the scale. The desk could even be there already.

This is an example one where there's a connection to a corridor, the door is already shown, the walls that are the demising walls of the office are shown. It is a couple of key pieces of information like those windows are there and you get a sense of the overall health things are likely to be organized. So you're going to look at the plan and then just like the schematic design, you're going to go through and have your system for taking notes, go through the program and really bang through it fast and have a good clear system so you know how you're pulling all that information together.

So here's an example of a program. It has a few pieces of information up at the top which we'll talk about basic aspects of this particular program and in this case the five rooms. And then each room has a few points about it like somebody needs to be able to have visual control over the front door. Maybe somebody's office needs to have a direct access to a conference room.

So all the furniture requirements for each room are shown. That's a lot of little information you got to keep track off and it's a fairly tight space. So you're going to have your system for how you put all that information together. You're going to do that same thing. You're probably going to have a matrix. You're going to figure out how you're holding on to that information.

And then the code will not be particularly extensive and it's mostly about accessibility but there maybe a few other issues. But the key pieces that take away are the idea of the 60 inch circle or five foot circle. Every room is going to get a 60 inch circle. Now you don't actually draw that circle in, there just needs to be the space that you could draw that circle in. So, my suggestion is every room you draw it in in sketch mode which means the computer isn't reading it but you can see it.

So you're going to put a 60 inch circle in every room. These are small offices that 60 inch circle. It is a relatively easy thing to do but that's still a big square space without any furniture or anything else in it. So it can get harder than it sounds, but even more important than that one in my mind is the space around the doors. So this is on the push side of a door so going through the door that way, I need to have a space that's 48 inches this way and then 12 inches past the handle's edge of the door. So that's going to be a 36 inch door plus the 12 inch that's going to be another 48 inches over that way.

So I have a 48 by 48 inch box then nothing else can encroach into, and that's in order to allow somebody in a wheelchair to be able to pull up and get to that door handle. On the pull side, so on this side, if I'm approaching this door from this side, I need to have actually 18 inches and 60 inches of space for that to work. So that ends to be . . . This is a big box. My suggestion is you do this on sketch mode, in that green sketch mode rectangle and you put them by every door that you put into the plan so that you can see, as you start putting the furniture in, you make sure that you're not accidentally getting a little too close.
