A2 - Generating Floor Plan Assumptions

Question:

I am finishing up Assignment 2 for AE 390, and haven't had any luck finding the first floor plan for xxxxxx. I know the rubric says to show the first floor plan, but would it be acceptable to show the floor plans for the other floors I found?

Response

I urge you to create a rough floor plan even if you don’t know the details.  You can start from an upper floor plan.  Particularly for office buildings you can guess that they will probably have:

  • Lobby opening on at least one main street
  • Loading/Service area
  • Parking garage entry if there is a garage below
  • Retail stores along a significant portion of the main streets
  • Elevators – obtainable from upper floors
  • Exit stairways – obtainable from upper floors
