Scenario (hypothetical)
The four-storey building indicated on the attached drawings is a proposed new building for the External Relations Division of The University of Salford, to be built on the former site of the Northern Car Park (currently under development).
The attached schematic layouts have been prepared by architects acting for the University. The floor plans show how accommodation is to be broadly distributed, though in addition the following should be noted:
Ground floor plan
One wing is an Office
The central area is a void over the swimming pool
The other wing provides internal car parking spaces as per the layout shown on the plans. Basement
•
Designated as plant and storage areas, swimming pool and Car Park. First and second
Designated as office use
The client requires flexibility of layout on these floors, i.e. to be able to partition off individual offices if the need arises, or to be able to have an open plan layout.
•
Layouts may change over a period of time. Top floor

Designated as ‘executive suite’ and ‘staff amenities’.
Also Office provision
Dimensions are on the drawings.
The ground conditions over the entire site are as follows:

Project/Task brief
You are a member of the design team assigned by a ‘property services’ practice that has been engaged to
help procure the building. Working in that team, you have been asked to carry out studies that will explore possible solutions as to how the building can be built. Ultimately you are required to select appropriate construction technologies in respect of the building elements listed below, in each case demonstrating:
a. an understanding of the appropriateness of the chosen technology for the scenario building, and
b. an ability to apply the principles of the chosen technology to the scenario building. The building
elements to be selected are as follows:
o
sub-structure (i.e. basement and foundations)
o
super-structure (i.e. frame and floors, including upper floors and ground bearing floors)
o
cladding and roofing

an urban area. The maximum height of the building can be 35 meters.
An extensive and efficient utilization of Autodesk Revit software in both design and analysis is required
parallel to the weekly lab sessions. Furniture and other related objects must be created or imported from
furniture families within the Revit software to reflect the environment inside the building. Design
a staircase for easy access among all the levels.
To assist you with this task, it is recommended to follow the unit tutorials to achieve your desired
objective. This project is aimed at augmenting the creativity of the individual by transforming his/
her virtual ideas into graphical content. There are key deliverables, expected from the student groups:
Concept development procedure/ Revit model and rendering, door schedule, detailed drawings,
project cost estimation / energy analysis report described in detail in the deliverables section.
Deliverables:
The submission will include a hard copy with following details (A4 report format with clear cover):
• Cover Sheet (posted on blackboard)
• Title page
a. Student names b. ID numbers c. year, subject code, day and time of class attended
• Table of Contents
Chapters, figures, tables and appendices with respective page numbers
• Introduction
Project report (A4 format) with introduction to the project and a description your work e.g.

Plagiarism (Excerpt from Taylor’s University Student Handbook 2013, page 59)
Plagiarism, which is an attempt to present another person’s work as your own by not acknowledging the source, is
a serious case of misconduct which is deemed unacceptable by the University.
"Work" includes written materials such as books, journals and magazine articles or other papers and also includes
films and computer programs. The two most common types of plagiarism are from published materials and other
students’ works.
1. Published Materials
In general, whenever anything from someone else’s work is used, whether it is an idea, an opinion or the
results of a study or review, a standard system of referencing should be used. Examples of plagiarism may
include a sentence or two, or a table or a diagram from a book or an article used without acknowledgement.
Serious cases of plagiarism can be seen in cases where the entire paper presented by the student is copied
from another book, with an addition of only a sentence or two by the student.
While the former can be treated as a simple failure to cite references, the latter is likely to be viewed as
cheating in an examination.
Though most assignments require the need for reference to other peoples’ works, in order to avoid plagiarism,
students should keep a detailed record of the sources of ideas and findings and ensure that these sources are
clearly quoted in their assignment. Note that plagiarism also refers to materials obtained from the Internet too.
2. Other Students’ Work
Circulating relevant articles and discussing ideas before writing an assignment is a common practice. However,
with the exception of group assignments, students should write their own papers. Plagiarising the work of
other students into assignments includes using identical or very similar sentences, paragraphs or
sections. When two students submit papers that are very similar in tone and content, both are likely to be
penalised.
