The project site for the Departmental Project 3 of the autumn semester of 2018 is the 8th district of Budapest. We are researching possibilities of multifunctional, or hybrid buildings. The task is to design moderately complex eco- and energy-conscious co-housing buildings completed with community, commercial, sport or office units for the given sites. Each function is different due to the design programs designed by students. To understand the existing complex situation, to analyse the urban context are the most important part of this semester work. The overall net area of the buildings to be designed is about 800 m2. The semester starts with the presentation of the programs and a site visit.

Concept design (projected presentation):

- layout 1:1000 (a common layout may be prepared in team-work of 2 students)

- presentation, documentation of one building of similar character as example (3-4 A4 pages)

- elaboration of the design program, presentation of function

- scale-model, presentation of the basic design ideas (master plan, scheme function min. 1:500)

Preliminary design I. (projected presentation):

This design phase is focusing on the development of the architectural form, of the relation between space and mass, of the relation with the surrounding, and of the interior functional system.

- site plan M=1:500, 1000

- plans of the different levels, sections, elevations M=1:200

- perspective views, sketches, scale-model with surroundings 

Preliminary design II.:

The same as Preliminary design I., but only in case of unsuccessful presentation, or upon request.

Final project (projected presentation + A3 form documentation):

At the end of the semester detailed 1:100 documentation has to be prepared.

(simplified „program design”): 

- site plan at a scale of M=1:200, 500 with surroundings (buildings, garden, streets, walking ways, entrances, delivery entrances, flooring)

- plans of all different levels with the name of the rooms marked 1:100 (1:200)

- at least 2 different sections showing the structural solutions, dimensions 1:100 (1:200)

- all facades with the used materials and 1:100 (1:200)

- perspective view with the surrounding, street view, photomontage

- technical description (main ideas, functional system, used materials) cca. 1 A4 page

- Model min. scale M= 1:333 (paper, wood, plexi)

Formal requirements:

All drawings can be traditional hand- or CAD drawings or any other optional official scaled printed technique.
Submission is fulfilled with e-mail delivery, presentation is recommended, but not compulsory!
Size: lying A3 form. The clear and correct technical presentation is important. A stable cover due to the plans dimensions with index is necessary. Models have to be submitted in boxes. The name and e-mail address of the author and the title of the project have to be marked on each plan, cover, model and box.
