RICHARD DE NEUFVILLE:
Hello, again.

00:00:23.090 --> 00:00:27.840 align:middle line:84%
I would now like to
present the garage case.

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:30.650 align:middle line:84%
The objective here is to
provide a practical example

00:00:30.650 --> 00:00:35.010 align:middle line:84%
of flexibility in design
based upon a real situation.

00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:37.880 align:middle line:84%
The value of this
case, which I'll

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.740 align:middle line:84%
be showing in the
next presentation,

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:43.970 align:middle line:84%
is that it shows how the
proactive design avoids

00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:46.130 align:middle line:84%
downside effects,
takes advantage

00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:49.730 align:middle line:84%
of the upside possibilities,
and at the same time,

00:00:49.730 --> 00:00:52.790 align:middle line:90%
reducing the initial costs.

00:00:52.790 --> 00:00:55.940 align:middle line:84%
The case is a
prototype example--

00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:59.420 align:middle line:84%
that is, the mechanics of it
or the design aspects of it

00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:02.100 align:middle line:84%
is a model for a whole
range of applications.

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.480 align:middle line:84%
So it is based upon, in this
case, an Excel spreadsheet

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.870 align:middle line:84%
where you can relabel
the columns and the rows,

00:01:08.870 --> 00:01:10.680 align:middle line:84%
and look at quite
different situations.

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:16.940 align:middle line:84%
So it's useful as a model, as a
template, for further analysis.

00:01:16.940 --> 00:01:18.980 align:middle line:84%
The technology in
this case is simple

00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:22.700 align:middle line:84%
enough so that when you
see the results eventually,

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:26.540 align:middle line:84%
you can understand how they
occur because the technology is

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:27.780 align:middle line:90%
very easy to understand.

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:29.150 align:middle line:90%
It's trivial to understand.

00:01:29.150 --> 00:01:32.900 align:middle line:84%
That's one of the values
of this particular case.

00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:38.360 align:middle line:84%
And the specific
value is, the case

00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:40.310 align:middle line:84%
it illustrates
the different ways

00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:44.540 align:middle line:84%
that the flexibility in design
can increase the value to it

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:48.170 align:middle line:84%
by reducing the cost,
increasing the opportunities,

00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:52.500 align:middle line:90%
getting rid of the downsides.

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.080 align:middle line:84%
The case is based
upon an actual example

00:01:55.080 --> 00:01:58.470 align:middle line:84%
that I had the privilege
of looking at in England.

00:01:58.470 --> 00:02:01.020 align:middle line:84%
It is the Bluewater
Shopping Center

00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:03.720 align:middle line:84%
near London in the
United Kingdom.

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:07.560 align:middle line:84%
And it was built
deliberately for

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.490 align:middle line:84%
the possible future addition
of extra floors on this.

00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:16.180 align:middle line:84%
It was done by in a precast
concrete kind of way

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:19.590 align:middle line:84%
so that the columns, and the
platforms, and the floors,

00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:23.550 align:middle line:84%
could be created offsite, and
then brought to the garage

00:02:23.550 --> 00:02:26.730 align:middle line:84%
and added on fairly quickly,
if that was the desired

00:02:26.730 --> 00:02:31.845 align:middle line:84%
action to be taken, so that
it was easily expandable.

00:02:31.845 --> 00:02:34.200 align:middle line:84%
It had been built
for the flexibility,

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:36.390 align:middle line:90%
should you wish to use it.

00:02:36.390 --> 00:02:40.360 align:middle line:84%
Here is the image of the
actual site, a narrow view.

00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.550 align:middle line:84%
You may see that there
is a wall behind here

00:02:44.550 --> 00:02:47.310 align:middle line:84%
because this was built
in an old quarry.

00:02:47.310 --> 00:02:49.740 align:middle line:84%
So when it was stopped
needing as a quarry,

00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:51.930 align:middle line:90%
they created a shopping center.

00:02:51.930 --> 00:02:55.740 align:middle line:84%
Up here is where the
shopping area itself is,

00:02:55.740 --> 00:03:01.670 align:middle line:84%
and the garage spaces
are right along here.

00:03:01.670 --> 00:03:12.447 align:middle line:90%
