- GENERAL ANALYSIS OF NAL USERS AND FINNISH LIVING
You have to analyze how does the average NAL user lives in the average housing complex. there will be a visit to a NAL´S site, there, if you have the chance you can ask the users about the living conditions, needs etc.. as well you will have to take photographs, do a sketches of the layout, so you can realize how it works, what kind of spaces besides the flats there are? what kind of common spaces? what kind of materials are used? any interesting solution? all that you can document. as well how many people live in the site and flats? What’s the average resident? What kind of common activities have (in case they are)?, do an analysis about everything that involves the architecture and interior design. Does the common spaces are clean? Do they work? How the spaces are organized (who is organizing them?)
also you can analyze and learn how does the NAL system works in practice in the site and flats? how you apply for a a flat, how does the system works in general (maybe this you do not have to present it but is good that you realize how it works)
in addition you will have to analyze other examples of young housing in Finland, either from NAL or from other young housing organization. (just references) in this part is more a general review of examples what is has been done in Finland and in other places, what is new for you?,
What would be important to analyze? (just some thoughts)
Areas to consider to analyze: (this is just a guideline, do your own criteria, do your own analysis)
- Residents, how many, average resident (age), what different kinds of residents live?
- Are there some common activities in the housing complexes?
- Functions: are they really functions? Good conditions?)
- Do you have the chance to talk to the residents about common problems and likes?)
- how you feel the spaces?
- Lighting (atmosphere
s(analyze the space) - Potentiality of the spaces?
- Site and exterior spaces how are they, are they ok?, no, why?
- Examples that can help you?
- Something to add?
You will work as a team, the criteria is open! What to research about the housing complex?, you must find your own criteria of analysis, and how you approach the analysis.
- URBAN AND SITE ANALYSIS
In this part you have to analyze the site and the urban condition where is the site. you have to present it in a pdf, you will have to focus on the area the big scale, the neighborhood and surroundings, so all the scales of the plan have to fit in A3 so consider the scale that suits better for the purpose, as well here you have to analize according to the urban plan, site plan, comments of teachers how many flats and square meteres
· Site plan 1:1000 or 1:500 (has to fit in one A3)
· Site plan, sun and topography of the neighborhood
· Landscape site plan (plan with the exteriors, paths materials, furniture etc..
· Location of the site to intervene
· Density (figure and ground of the neighborhood)
· Green areas of the area
· Circulation and different types of transportation
· Water bodies?
· Wind?
· Infrastructure and services of the area
· Different types of land use
· Access to the site (Circulation and different types of circulation of the site
· plan with zones, what could be building and green area, and proposal of the square meters you will need for your project
· Any other?
- CONCLUSIONS OF THE ANALYSIS
Analysis, problematics and conclusions of the example and the site
you will have to do an “Analysis of conclusions”, what does this mean? the general other analysis were approached as a group and they were measurable and physical analysis, like: square meters, plans, urban conditions, etc...
Now use your criteria as a team,
Make some conclusions, about the NAL flats, Finish living and in general what is happening in architecture about housing for youngsters?
as well is you have some conclusions about the site? According to what you heard from client and what you have seen…is it a good spot? What is happening there? what pros and cons you see on the site? Analyze the site and make some conclusions about it,
Use your own criteria; you don’t have to produce tons of plans to analyze the things, but make it understandable. Make it practical and clear.
Create storyboard for your presentation so you know what you have to produce.
It is very important that have conclusions in your research; conclusions will help you to brief all the ideas and to express them in a better way. The presentation should be no more than 10 min. After the presentation, you can still research on the site and the functions.

Space in Practice Presentation 03 part C
INSPIRATION AND REFERENCE / PRELIMINARY CONCEPTS
References and Preliminary concepts
After the acceptance of the offer and the interview of the clients, the next stage to do 2 preliminary concepts and search for references related to those concepts. References will help to show your main ideas, interpretation of the client’s wishes and needs in reference images, of other projects, materials, furniture, or concept images. All references are valid as long as they are related to your story or your concept. Do not get lost in the universe of references; be selective with your material. Sometimes we like many references but not all suits the project or the ideas you want to express. Also, keep in mind that they are only references and should not control your direction of your concept. They are just tools to help you understand and to initiate a dialogue between the client and your team/office. But do not use only references, still you have to do sketches, drawings, etc..
Documents to present “Preliminary Concepts”
+Pdf presentation 15 min max
+Create a document A3 so it can be printed (this document will be printed for your folder and presented in pdf format) present sketches, drawings and solutions, is very often that in the stage of the references you already know which direction, or a general concept.
upload the pdf in my courses
Please remember that these are only preliminary, in the next deadline you will have to present the final concept that will be the main axe to follow in your design.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REFERENCES AND THE PRELIMINARY CONCEPT WILL BE IN ONE PDF AND UPLOAD THE FILE IN MY COURSES. PRINT 1 TIME (ONE IS FOR THE CLIENT FOLDER)
Place and time: check the attached timetable.
Good luck
