Covid has spread its tentacles long and wide.
Every page of the newspaper is filled with all aspects of it, from quarantine measures, to schools, to healthcare workers battling it.
We r in the last days of march now.
busy period, with an intensive crash course in revit
and i found that clause, 2.2.6g
where when one has multiple staircase (>2 sets), as long as either one, fulfills the travel distance.

Time for reflection
it has been about 4 months
and all too easy to enjoy, to be complacent
read the code. even if it is just for 30mins.
design wise. simple knowing.
and deciding which battles to fight

Revit starting again
First thing
1)Elevation levels
- i found out that the default did not reflect the 2 dp, so to change.
--> click on <manage><project units>, adjust from here.
-it should update
2)Floor plan reflection order
-right click on <views> in project browser
-click on <browser organisation>
3)Grids
-first click is tail, second click is head
-adjustable parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUO2ZHEKmM4

Thoughts from 15th Feb
From L book on theory for her phd, it has one sentence that seems to hold with me " never underestimate the power of inter dependencies"
i have this image of a woven net of actions, placed very lightly on top of the surface of water or ash.
When in resistance to any point of this net, this carefully calibrated tension has to go somewhere. either to another point on the net, or worst still if off the net, and onto the person. last thing we want.
Think i have too many comments expressed. that i should keep them to myself.
i should also keep my words simple
now that we will be re-arranging our seats, lessons learnt from H
- Always design for the worst case scenario
- Identify the bottlenecks eg: setbacks, efficiency for number of staircases, occupancy load, escape distance, ventilation ( NV; 12m vs MV)
- determine allowable widths & areas
- Usage by who

Multi-Storey Staircase
One of the first challenge is how to build a multi-storey staircase efficiently.
When i first started creating a stair, i couldn't remove the railing, and had a query.
Next thing i knew, the entire staircase was being model for me..
Things to take note of, the start with first riser, and end with riser, so that the center beam can align well.

About analysis
Problem proposition:
Linkway cuts across the plaza, how to remedy the ramp.
Level difference along the perimeter.
My sequence:
-Adjusting the contours?
-Why need for ramp to go up and down
J sequence:
-This linkway, firstly, " does it work", how does it look, from the road, look upon the roof.
Levels wise, does not even work so well
-Who uses this linkway
-Double linkway conundrum
Overall:
Sequence of questions, what is important?
Based on question asked, the bottleneck, does it work beautifully first?-existing context-human perspective
Bicycle Park discussion w H:
-Question: Who owns it, what is their agenda, what do they want to see
-Solution: Propose something for their agenda.
