4. Architectural Program
Written definition of the required goals and functions of the project.
Includes design criteria and constraints.
Architectural programming includes the research and decision-making process that identifies the scope of work to be designed. The architectural program is the responsibility of the owner; however, because owners often do not have the expertise to develop a program they often employ architects or other programming specialists to provide guidance. Many architects provide programming as an additional service to their clients.

5. Site Information Include a site analysis Legal Description

7. Viability Analysis
Evaluation of the potential for success of the project.
Is the project legally permissible?
Is the project physically possible?
Is the project financially feasible?
Is the project a good choice for the community?

Unit 4 – Lesson 4.2 – Commercial Building Design Presentation
Conceptual Design
Phase 1 includes conceptual drawings to show the general building and site layouts and building materials planned for the project. A rendering, site plan, floor plans, elevations, and a typical wall section should be included.

11. Engineering Calculations

Unit 4 – Lesson 4.2 – Commercial Building Design Presentation
Engineering Calculations
All calculations that you perform in during the design of the project should be included in the Project Portfolio. These should include but are not limited to calculations related to:
Structural design
Water supply pressure
Wastewater discharge
Heat loss/gain
Storm water runoff

12. Construction Drawings
Show the location of all of the design features in a design project
Include plan views, elevation views, sections, details, and schedules.

13. Plan View
An orthographic projection of the building or site on a horizontal plan.
Orthographic projection is a projection of the features of an object onto an imaginary plane of projection. The projection of the features of the object is made by lines of sight that are perpendicular to the plane of projection.

Floor Plan
A representation of a building as seen from above at an imaginary horizontal plane approximately four feet above the floor.
FLOOR PLAN

17. Elevation Views
A group of drawings that show the exterior of a building
An orthographic drawing
Shows one side of a building
Exterior shapes and finishes
Vertical relationships of the building levels

18. Sections and Details
Section: A type of drawing depicting an object as if it had been cut through to show the interior construction
Detail: An enlargement of a specific area of a structure that is drawn where several components intersect or where small members are required
Possible image

19. Renderings
Purpose: To add an element of realism with the use of shades, shadows, and textures that would not otherwise be present
Materials Used: Pencil, ink, water colors, marker, tempera, colored pencil, appliqué / overlay, and air brush
Types: Exterior and interior perspective, elevations, plot plan, floor plan, and sections

20. Specifications
Purpose: Provides the necessary written information to describe the materials, methods, and fixtures used in the design project

21. 3D Models
Purpose: To represent the final design in a physical form that is as realistic as possible, computer-generated or fabricated
Advantage: Can be moved around and viewed from any angle; show interior and exterior details; the addition of scaled objects (people, furniture, vehicles) gives visual clues as to the actual size
