Swiss Pavillion, 1930, Le Corbusier Engineering Research Paper

Note that it is a 6-page ppt that is available in both pictures and texts! Our group is researching Swiss Pavillion, 1930, Le Corbusier
Research: Modern + Contemporary Dormitories
Process
Working individually, research your assigned precedent. Search Library Catalog, Avery Index database, books, journals, and the web for information and images. Note your sources for all information and images so you can credit sources properly in your presentation. First describe, then analyze (see below for categories.) Draw diagrams to express your ideas about the design of the building. This is your first diagramming assignment, so give it a try. You may find diagrams online or in a print publication. If so, it is fine to use them, but you must credit a source for any image or idea that is not original work by your team.
You and your teammates can discuss the various aspects of the assigned precedent and learn from each others’ ideas and help each other gain understanding.
Design a PowerPoint to present your case study. Use both images and words to make your key points. Make sure the important information is on the slides and make your verbal presentation concise and brief. Your work will serve as reference material for your classmates. And, it will help everyone learn about how architects and designers use diagrams to analyze and design.
Description - all 3 steps are required
Building information – photo(s) and/or three-dimensional drawing(s) to show overall building form. This slide should include name of building, architecture firm name, date, location, and names of student team members.
Space and Program – plan and section drawings to show space, label spaces or list the types of spaces included in the building (dorm rooms, rest rooms, common spaces including possibly study rooms, kitchens, dining hall, laundry, lobby, recreation rooms, etc.)
Context – location, surrounding buildings

Analysis - select 3 out of the following 7
Concept – what is the unique idea that the design team developed into this building?
Public/private spaces – draw a diagram to show how the spaces of the building are organized into public spaces and private spaces. For example, if the dining hall, lounge, and mail room are all on the ground floor and the dorm rooms are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors, then draw a section diagram, with the ground floor labeled Public and the upper floors labeled Private. You can use color to distinguish between Public and Private. Explain briefly in words how public and private spaces are organized in the building.
Site and relationship of indoor spaces to outdoor spaces. Where is the building located? On a city street? In a grassy or wooded area of campus? On a quad? Is there one (or more) outdoor space for the use of residents? Where is the public outdoor space located in relation to the public spaces of the building? Draw a diagram and explain verbally.
Circulation spaces (approach, entrance, lobby, corridors, stairs, ramps, elevators). Draw a diagram showing corridors (horizontal circulation) and stairs + elevators + ramps (vertical circulation). Explain in words how movement is organized in the building. For example, are stairs located at the ends of a long rectangular building?
Form (shape or shapes, geometry, composition, consider relationship of the parts to the whole) – draw a diagram that represents the form of the building in plan. Is it a rectangle? Doughnut? Semicircle? L-shape? Etc. Explain the form briefly in words.
Key design principles, such as symmetry or balance, rhythm, repetition, unity, contrast, etc. Include a photo that shows how the building is designed according to these principles.
Sustainability (systems and features may include daylighting, natural ventilation, green roofs, saving energy, generating energy, recycled materials, water management, etc.)
