I'm new to this forum. I am in desperate need of developing a typical facade detail to start off with for my youth hostel design of my year 2 studio project. Please can anyone guide me through it now...
Yes..i have but the problem is i am lacking the basics of understanding and reading facade details. My structural system is using column and beams and the structural material is reinforced concrete. Could you please help me to develop a detail for this. also appropriate layering..Thank You
Can you please provide me with some online examples for now that i can make use of it before the studio tomorrow..been searching on this for days but still cant get used to understanding it.
I am pretty sure learning "the basics of understanding" is why you're in school.
Don't tell your fellow classmates this secret... but all universities have these special rooms filled with shelves called "libraries". In there, if you're careful and are successful at slaying the dragon(s), you'll find an endless bounty of reference material.
Use this new power with care.
edit: searching for days? where... behind the refrigerator? For fuck's sake, students are getting lazier and lazier.
Haha..i understand that..but the problem is i have to submit this facade detail design with a physical model of 1:20 on this friday I am panicking that i have not done anything yet. :(
Yesterday after class, somewhere in a university faculty office... (The names and topics have been changed to protect the identity of the not-stupid-but-hopelessly-lazy):
Student: "I can't find the stuff in the readings on Widgets"
Citizen: "Did you look through the textbooks?"
St: "Yeah, I can't find it"
C: "Well, let's look through them now"
St: "I don't have them with me... they're too heavy"
C, skimming the table of contents in 8 seconds: "Chapter 15 - Widgets"
St: "I was looking in the other book"
C, skimming the other book: "Chapter 12- "Widgeting Basics"
St: [yet another excuse uttered with an attitude of entitlement, the specifics of which I don't recall]
^ even a google image search would get someone started for this particular topic.
It might be helpful if you know what type of facade assembly you wanted a detail of though. "Typical facade detail" could be a lot of things on a youth hostel.
@Ashfaq96 - it's supper easy to design your facade. I'm not sure by your original post if you want to design it, or to detail your design for CD's. But if it's design, then do this -
Help on how to develop a facade section with examples
Hello everyone.
I'm new to this forum. I am in desperate need of developing a typical facade detail to start off with for my youth hostel design of my year 2 studio project. Please can anyone guide me through it now...
Have you tried asking your studio and/or building envelop professor(s)... or... gulp, discussing ideas with your fellow classmates?

then, maybe as soon as you're done catching up on extremely basic wall assemblies, you can spend some time learning how to better manage your time.
Go to the library, look for the journal Detail and the Birkhauser construction manuals. Get to know the library.
anonitect-is there an app for that?

A google image search seems to be the bar for "research" lately.
^ And that's if you can get them to use it in the first place.
