Assignment Objective : Study an existing project for the use of materials. Format : Single board, unmounted, 24x36. Content : Assignments should contain at least the following: Project data: name, project type, designer, location, square footage, cost per square foot (if possible) Brief summary of approach to choice of materials Analysis of color scheme Plan (and section, elevations if available) Photos, annotated to indicate materials Photographic material samples for floor, wall, ceiling, chair, and table or other major piece of furniture Description of materials (list under image): main wear properties (or typical characteristics), CSI section, finish, code classification, and any “green” certifications, such as Cradle to Cradle. assignment #1: precedent study

open, or descriptive open, or descriptive describes material with generic terminology for common materials, such as red oak flooring performance performance describes material based on how it performs may use a reference standard, such as from ASTM allows contractor to source options closed, or proprietary closed, or proprietary specifies exact product typically a “cut” from a manufacturer’s catalog for project that are bid out, use standard three-part spec format types of specifications

for our project, what type of spec would be best? for our project, what type of spec would be best?exercise:
