- Physical model - 1/16" or 1/8" scale. This should include your site (to the edge of the water on at least two sides, possibly three, and to the edge of Polk Bros Park. You should clearly show paths, connections, edges. Your building model should contain the basics of the interior, but should primarily work to convey your overall building form. Your scale should be 1/16" - check with me if you need to modify the scale for a good reason.
- Digital Files - All final presentation files (plans, section, diagrams, perspective, and photographs of your physical model) appropriately titled and in the ARCH 315 Beach Finals Folder. No grade will be issued until this is completed.
