Architectural Capstone Design (semester?), IPRO 335

This project concerns design of a two-story building plus a basement to be constructed on a 60 feet wide by 120 feet long lot. The structure is located in Carbondale, Illinois subject to moderate-high seismic activities. The structure will serve as a museum of contemporary art. Our client is especially interested in having a design that would protect museum artifacts during a potential seismic activity. The suggested method is to use a base isolation system for the building. As a minimum, the following tasks are required: overall design layout for the building, architectural design of the building, structural design of the building, electrical and lighting, plumbing, fire protection and HVAC design, and addressing any serviceability issues. ; Deliverables for IPRO 335: Architectural Capstone Design for the Spring 2005 semester
