 Project Statement:
• An Architecture Project (Villa - Residential) within one basement and
one GF and attic (Slanted Roof). Floor area between 100 and 400 sq.m.
Page Principale

• Design Steps and Contents:

o Loadings, Types, values and DWG presentation
o “Descente des Charges” Loads Rundown
o Stress and forces on the Structural Elements
o Earth Pressure on basement walls
o Slab Systems – Propositions and Drawings
o Structural plan and DWG
o Select beams for diagrams and deflections
o Etc…. As per instructor recommendations

 Document to Submit for the Project type I:

• Phase I: Hard & Soft copy for Architectural Dwgs (complete set and
necessary plans for a project to be well defined, i.e.: Plans, Sections and
Page Principale

Elevations)

• Phase II: Hard & Soft copy for the structural system of all upper plans
(Ground Floor CSP, Typical Floor CSP and Roof CSP) and one of
Basements CSP with a foundation plan to show the loads.

• Phase III: No documents are required, just last check up and

correction

• Phase IV: During the presentation, the group has to submit Hard and
Soft copy for the complete project documents (Plans and Report) further
to the presentation file (Hard and Soft)

NB: All required documents (Hard & Soft) to be submitted by hand in class
